Why shattered dreams?? Do you just want cheap first turn discards I would rather like      
Hymn to Tourach or even Black Mail over shattered dreams, but I don t think this card is that good  ... but worm harvest is proboply a good idea, when I think about worm harvest and some recrusion in this deck wouldn t hermit druid also git in here quite nice?! You could get Raven Crime, Genesis, Lftl, or some synergies with academy ruines or volraths stronhold ... ... and y I guess your right with your sweepers so It won t heard u as bad ...

Feel free to add any card to the deck. I added Shatter to have another Cloud-like effect. Hymn is the only good cheap discard spell not already in the deck, and two black mana is not always quaranted before third turn. I might still try it.

And please make an effort to write English. You posts are very difficult to read, and at least to me, poor writing is a big turnoff.

hmm.. i dont see how shattered dreams is equivalent to death cloud. perhaps you meant another card, no?

Shattered dreams B
Sorcery

Target opponent reveals his or her hand.  Choose an artifact card from it.  That player discards that card.

I obviously meant Mind Shatter. Sorry for the confusion.

    1 Crime/Punishment
    1 Profane Command
    1 Engineered Explosives

// Disruption (10)

    1 Tormod's Crypt (Replaces Phyrexian Furnace. Faster activation has been more important than a card)

// Great blockers and occasional finishers (5)

    1 Tarmogoyf

    1 Kitchen Finks

    1 Ravenous Baloth
    1 Chameleon Colossus (Still unsure about the need of this and Meloku. This has been nice, Meloku not so often. Worm Harvest never did a thing.)

    1 Meloku the Clouded Mirror


As you can see, the deck has become more Loam-centered and CA-oriented. It may not be necessary, but I could see myself adding something to better handle aggro rushes, propably Darkheart Sliver or some cheap removal. All my favourite cheap removal is already in the deck, so I don't know what to add next.
