Trying to work out some new blue black control with the new cards out in Dark Ascension.

The big thing that I'm hoping to pull of with this deck is the Havengul Lich + Snapcaster Mage combo. I can constantly flash back my Snapcasters with the Havenful, and in essence be able to recast every single instant or sorcery that hits my graveyard.

I also considered Redirect for this deck, but I wasn't sure. It would allow me to redirect burn and kill spells to me Snapcaster to make sure he continues to hit the graveyard, and then allowing him to come back with Havenful, and flash something else back for me.

Thoughts? Comments? +1? All appreciated.
