I built this deck for two reasons: 1. I wanted to build a deck with Vial Smasher at the helm. 2. I wanted to use all of my white/Orzhov cards that were sitting in my binder doing nothing.

The deck's only win con is Vial Smasher. He is there to burn your opponents down with everything you've got. Tymna is there because she can provide decent draw in Mardu to make up for the spells you want to cast on everybody else's turns to make the most of Vial Smasher.

The deck is built for a casual, yet slightly competitive group. Since Vial Smasher is the only win-con, the deck runs a lot of X cost cards to get off those huge damage plays, and a lot of Miracle cards in order to cheat out cards to keep mana up for spells on other players' turns. The deck also runs a lot of creature removal (sometimes over-costed, to get more out of Vial-Smasher's ability) in order to protect yourself since you run very few. The creatures with "Shadow" and "Horsemanship" are there to make proc-ing Tymna's ability easy, to ensure a full hand.

I'm open to suggestions so long as they are not too expensive. And before anyone suggests it, I prefer not to run Sanguine bond with Exquisite Blood being in the deck. It's too simple of a way to win.
