Update:

I have switched to running the WG version which splashes Green for Gavony Township. I have found both Moorland Haunt and Geist of Saint Traft to be a lot less powerful since the addition of Dark Ascension. This is simply because the new meta is pretty hostile to them.

I have been running this deck for over 6 months now, and I have become very intimate with the deck.

---

Geist of Saint Traft allows me to have more "Nut Draws," in that it allows me to have more turn 2 or 3 "Tempered Steels" because of how game warping Geist tends to be in any given game.

Update 1/9/12: This past weekend I played this deck at Starcitygames.com Atlanta and I got 26th place! My only losses on the day were to 2 Wolf Run Ramp decks, one of those was piloted by the eventual 3rd place finisher Dustin Flora. As a result I am increasing the amount of hate I have for the Wolf Run Ramp match-up.
