[Deck] Dark StageStill

[Sr. Puntsalot]

Since the M14 rules changes are about to take effect, I thought I would brainstorm some ideas for the new thespian's stage dark depths combo. Two decks stood out to me. First was Lands, simply input one of each card and go. the other was in a BUG standstill/countertop shell, this is that.

[cards]
4 Force of Will
4 Brainstorm
3 Standstill
3 Spell Pierce
3 Sensi's Divining Top
3 Counterbalance
3 Thoughtseize
3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
3 Abrupt Decay
2 Vampire Hexmage
2 Crop Rotation
3 Expedition Map
2 Creeping Tar Pit
4 Wasteland
4 Underground Sea
1 Tropical Island
1 Bayou
1 Island
1 Swamp
4 Poluted Delta
4 Misty Rainforest
1 Maze of Ith
1 Thespian's Stage
1 Dark Depths

SB
[cards]
2 Flusterstorm
1 Life from the Loam
1 Bajuka Bog
2 Misdirection
1 Maestrom Pulse
2 Surgical Extraction
2 Pithing Needle
1 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
1 Damnation
1 Dark Blast
1 Massicare

Any thoughts?

standstill makes little sense. The other deck runs it because it also has notion thief.

You have no mass removal to go with your CB-T, unlike the Miracle shell. Your opponent goes turn 1 Aether Vial/Cavern of Souls, your standstill becomes a dead card. Do you intend to put down standstill asap, then wanting to play abrupt decay later? I would just ditch green, decay, and standstill, put in terminus instead.
