Thinking about tossing this back together for a future FNM - Toss me some Gatecrash and M14 suggestions!

For a while I've wanted to play Heartless Summoning with Mercurial Chemister, a play that requires access to the full Grixis spectrum on turn three. With Gatecrash out, the odds of that are as likely as they're going to get.

The basic premise of the deck is the usual for a Heartless deck, but Chemister adds the threat that if unchecked, my card advantage goes through the roof. Havengul Lich lets me get back corpses and cannon fodder (not to mention the rare Thragtusk), of course, and Bloodgift Demon makes a compromise between both a decent body and some drawing power. Dimir Charm and Izzet Charm give me something to do/dig early on if I'm without Heartless as well as muck up opposing creatures.

My greatest concern at this point is balancing my Charms and kill spells with the deck's creatures. Feedback is always welcome, especially when it's reassurance that a one-of Fervor is a bad idea. :p
