2x Morphling
4x Counterspell
4x Rewind
4x Power Sink
4x Miscalculation
4x Brainstorm

4x Albino Troll
4x Vine Trellis
4x Birds of Paradise

2x Worship
2x Disenchant

2x Adarkar Wastes
2x Brushland
2x Dust Bowl
2x Thran Quarry
8x Island
4x Forest

Can you help?

Well fundamentally it`s just a solid Con-Troll. The only things I question are:
No Strokes - usually 2/3, and I think it lacks board control.
And do you really need the White? It does mess the mana up quite a bit IMHO and stops you playing with Treetop Villages.

I would play:
-4 Power Sink
+3 Treachery
+1 Land

-4 Vine Trellis
+4 River Boa

-1 Albino Troll
+1 Simian Grunts

-2 Worship
+2 Stroke

-2 Disenchant
+2 Land

2 Dust Bowl
1 Faerie Conclave
3 Treetop Village
2 City Of Brass
5 Forest
10 Island

You did have:
10 Blue sources
6 Green sources (not counting mana monsters)
4 White Sources

You now have:
14 Blue sources
10 Green sources

And there are some good versions of this using Hunted Wumpus, so that is worth considering as well - you`s drop out the Strokes and run more board control (Boomerang) to force the Wumpus through in that case.

I've been playing Con-Troll in T2 for about 9 months now. Here's my version, with a brief explination:

4 Vine Trellis
4 River Boa
2 Albino Troll
3 Yavimaya Elder
1 Devout Witness
2 Morphling
4 Brainstorm
1 Mystical Tutor
4 Counterspell
1 Desert Twister
4 Powersink
2 Blaze
1 Stroke of Genius
1 Worship
2 Treachery
4 Treetop Village
4 City of Brass
1 Plains
1 Mountain
7 Forest
7 Island

SB
4 Annul
4 Mana Short
4 Hibernation
1 Treachery
2 Misdirection

Trellis over Birds due to vulnerability to Ponza and Keg. Witness is a big surprise as are the Blazes. With the Elders, Brainstorms, and Stroke, you get a lot of card drawing and selection. Desert Twister because it it Tutorable and also unexpected, and the mana is rarely a problem. I will probably drop the Worship, a Village and a Blaze for another Stroke and 2 Faerie Conclaves.
Most people run Masticores in theirs but I just don't like it as much as Morphling as the kill. Albino Troll, Vine Trellis and River Boa all provide enough defence and the two regenerators do a good enough job on offence, so you aren't discarding cards. the deck works best if you let them kill your creatures if they can, as it gives you enough time to put out a Morphling without having expended all your resources.
