Planar Filth by Jeremy Loza and Joe Cardoza

Hey all you Dojo readers I was going over the Urza's Saga Spoiler today and
noticed these two cards:

Rain of Filth           B
Instant                 Uncommon
Each land you control gains
"Sacrifice this land: Add B to your mana pool" until end of turn.

Planar Birth
Sorcery      Rare
Put all basic lands from all graveyards into play under
their owner's control, tapped.

I decided to put them together in a combo deck
This deck works much like Prosperous Bloom, using Meditate,Intution, as well
as the new Urza's card Stroke of Genius to get these two. The point of the
deck is to get as much land in play as soon as possible by using cards like
Exploration and Harrow. After you get around 5 or 6 and hopefully a Lotus
Petal and/or Lotus Blossom in play. Then casting on of the search cards to get
the Birth and
Rain. Then its simply tap out cast Rain of Filth; sac it all for black use the
lotuses for white to cast Planar Birth a few times then cast the drain.
Power Sink and Turnabout are there to make the combo go through without
being interrupted. Here's the list:
5 Forest
5 Swamp
4 Island
3 Reflecting Pool
3 City of Brass
1 Drain Life
3 Power Sink
3 Stroke of Genius
4 Lotus Blossom
4 Lotus Petal
3 Meditate
3 Intuition
4 Exploration
4 Harrow
3 Turnabout
4 Rain of Filth
4 Planar Birth

Any advice would be appreciated.
