uh... wasn't sure which 1 u meant was almost playable
-didn't like kira either but it got great reviews and I was looking for a good blue creature to add
-purpose of deck is to eliminate problematic cards via telepathy/cranial extraction as well as quash for wrath etc...
-all cards cost 4 or less so 18 lands is justified
-8 of the 18 lands are multicolor
-since more cards are blue in this deck the land ratio of swamps to islands seems reasonable

18 lands is never justified. would you keep and opening hand of 1 land? there is a just over 5% chance of only getting 1 land, and on average it would take 13-14 cards (turn 6-7) for you to have 4 lands. dont be a retard

apart from the land problem (22 might be enough given that you have karoos), you have various cards that don't really do anything and other cards which just are pointless.

i mean what the hell are telepathy, levitation, gaze of the gorgon, quash, circu, and leyline of the void doing in the deck? i suggest rebuilding the whole thing since the deck lacks direction in a big way
