Just made this deck earlier today...been playtesting and it stomps face...ok, not really, but it won 9/10 out of the games I've played. The hardest match up is versus RDW.

In case you were wondering, basically the idea is to get out Nephalia Smuggler early if you can (sometimes you can't) and then move onto Blade Splicer/Fiend Hunter to make golems/exile their dudes. You can go on the offensive early with Venser if you get him out quick enough and successfully bounce Blade Splicer a few times with Cloudshift or Ghostly Flicker. Restoration Angel is there for the late game when you don't have Stonehorn and need to block/bounce in a flash.

Stonehorn and Venser will seal the game, getting them both out and having Ghostly Touch or Cloudshift in your hand is basically a win, just get enough guys out to -1 Venser and swing for the wing after continually bouncing, or get his ultimate out and bounce Stonehorn while destroying all their permanents.

The hardest thing for this deck is when the opponent is playing RDW (will need to side in Timely Reinforcements or Flash Freeze/Negates) and when they get hexproof guys like Thrun and Sigarda out...it's not impossible, but you will take a little bit of damage before setting up the Stonehorn lock, but there is plenty of cards to hopefully keep it going before Venser says hello! :D
