Here's an updated version of the deck, with an updated sideboard to kill
Suicide Black, White Weenie, and Sligh.

Southern Cross Tech v. 1.2

1 Whispers of the Muse
3 Impulse
3 Counterspell
1 Forbid

4 Mulch  (I love this card, especially since it's a common)
3 Gaea's Blessing  (I'll be very pissed when this is gone)
4 Wall of Blossoms  (Makes its way in nearly every deck I design)
4 Spike Feeder  (ditto)
1 Uktabi Orangutang

3 Gerrard's Wisdom
1Disenchant

1 Firestorm (yes, I'm not running 4 until anyone can suggest why I should)
3 Earthquake
4Mogg Maniac

1 Phyrexian Furnace  (I love this card now)
1 Scroll Rack (ditto)

3 Forest
1 Mountains
2 Plains
3 Islands
1 Karplusan Forest
1 Brushland
1 Mogg Hollows
2 Vec Townships
1 Gemstone Mine
2 City of Brass
3 Reflecting Pools
3 Undiscovered Paradise

Sideboard:
1 Phyrexian Furnace
1 Gerrard's Wisdom
3 Aura of Silence (I read somewhere that you won't take damage from Forsaken
Wastes)
1 Uktabi Orangutang
2 Teferi's Realm
4 Propaganda
1 Earthquake
1 Firestorm
1 Elephant Grass

As you can see, the changes made main deck help to handle control decks more
(counterspells and forbid), and the sideboard is an official white weenie,
suicide black, and sligh killer.  Many thanks to the people who told me how
to handle particular decks (mainly suicide black).  More playtesting is
underway, so I'll be posting a follow-up soon.  Help in the form of
playtesting will be greatly appreciated.
