With Arbor gone, this can easily be replaced by 4 Chancellor of the Annex, which in my opinion, is simply the SHIT. I've been playtesting this against a couple of the more popular decks in our meta and it has worked wonders! Not only does it delay Brainstorm/Ponder for blue-based decks, it stalls DRS by a turn (and as all of you might already know, turn 1 DRS is the only DRS that a capable Manaless Dredge player fears), screws loose keeps (oh, so you kept a zero 1-drop hand because you had 2 lands and a Bob/SFM huh?) and finally it helps the deck go "faster" as our opponents go "slower".

By going "fearless", we open up shitloads of space in our SB. Removal obviously is the first choice (I've delegated much of the removal in the board as I am playing around with Bloodghasts and Probes again) followed by more combo hate (Mindbreak Trap). I can finally alot 2-4 spaces for the SnT matchup (Kederekt Leviathan and/or a split with Angel of Despair). I'm also trying to fit in 7-8 slots for LEDs and Faithless Looting which helps a lot when our opponent "time walks" us G2:

2 Contagion
1 Sickening Shoal
3 Mindbreak Trap
2 Kederekt Leviathan
4 Lion's Eye Diamond
3 Faithless Looting

Anyway, will be busy playing Nic Fit for a while :)
I'm pretty happy to see some others Manaless players trying LED in their SB.

I just think you still have some fear with this type of SB :

Try this list, it is really tight and scoops on Leyline but very fun :

ManaLeD

1 Flayer of the Hatebound
3 Griselbrand
4 Chancellor of the Annex
4 Golgari Grave-Troll
4 Golgari Thug
4 Ichorid
4 Narcomoeba
4 Nether Shadow
4 Phantasmagorian
4 Shambling Shell
4 Stinkweed Imp
4 Street Wraith
4 Bridge from Below
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Dread Return
4 Gitaxian Probe

SB: 3 Deep Analysis
SB: 4 Desperate Ravings
SB: 4 Lion's Eye Diamond
SB: 4 Sickening Shoal

The goal is pretty simple, to go off before hate comes. You add massive business in G2 to explode T1-T2.

+11 cards : 4 LED +7 Blue draw spells (you will see why i don't use faithless)
-11 cards : -1 Flayer, -4 Phantasman, -3 Shambling, -2 Grisel - 1 Shadow

In this type of plan, Chancelor is really nut, it gives protection to land a LED and use a draw spell and also is a Fat target to DR. Taxing effect T1 is quite insane.
You got 15 draw spells and you can chain them :

Put LED in play :
Play Probe in response recycle Streetwraith and in response crack LED. I got 7 chances to draw more with Analysis + desperate taking blue mana from LED (got a fizzle factor if i run Faithless)

I don't understand how running LED's and Faithless Lootings sideboard is any different in the consistency then running lands and Disenchant effects in the side.
With disenchant effects you can't decently take a mulligan and it results to some more timewalk for you. With a LED side based, you can mulligan if your hand is really horrible or just mull to get a LED and a dredge card with the drawback that you scoop against LL.
