IBC G/W/B Necra deck needs polish

[Mikeymike]

I liked Necra Sanctuary the first second I saw it, and once I realized it worked with any 'permament' instead of 'creature' (I think FoR pointed it out to me) it became one of those cards that I wanted to build a deck around but never got around to it.

I wanted to build around the Nectuary / Sterling Grove combo. And since the best way to make that combo work is an Armageddon/Jokulhaups, I'm going to use Desolation Angel.

Creatures - 5
2 Desolation Angel
3 Necravolver

Enchantments - 16
4 Sterling Grove
3 Nectuary
3 Pyrexian Arena
3 Dueling Grounds
2 Overgrown Estate
1 Yawgmoth's Agenda

Spells 15
4 Rout
4 Vindicate
4 Gerrard's Verdict
3 ??? I'm thinking Death Grasp, Eladamri's Call (which I'd also make room for 1 Sabertooth Nishoba), Addle or Spectral Lynx

Lands - 24
4 Elfhame Palace
4 Caves of Koilos
2 Llanowar Wastes
5 Swamps
5 Plains
4 Forests

Sideboard
4 Bind (Pernicious Deed demolishes this deck)
3 Dodecapod
3 Spectral Lynx
1 Rewards of Diversity (forgot about this card, extremely annoying for many decks)
1 Yawgmoth's Agenda
3 ??? depends on what are the last cards to go maindeck

Am I missing any silver bullet enchantments? Am I missing a glaring weakness (besides counter and P. Deed)?

Thanks in advance

If you have room you might run Elfhamme Sanctuary to help thin deck and recover after angel.

Thanks rkoelsch, it would work well with the Angel but if I drop her I shouldn't need to worry about lands, she should seal the game.

I just constructed the deck (got everything but 1 Caves yesterday at the PR) and here is the decklist I went with:

Creatures - 5
2 Desolation Angel
3 Necravolver

Enchantments - 15
4 Sterling Grove
3 Nectuary
3 Pyrexian Arena
2 Dueling Grounds
2 Overgrown Estate
1 Yawgmoth's Agenda

Spells 16
4 Rout
4 Vindicate
4 Death Grasp
4 Addle

Lands - 24
4 Caves of Koilos
3 Elfhame Palace
3 Llanowar Wastes
5 Swamps
5 Plains
4 Forests

Sideboard
4 Bind (Pernicious Deed demolishes this deck)
3 Dodecapod
3 Spectral Lynx
1 Rewards of Diversity (forgot about this card, extremely annoying for many decks)
1 Dueling Grounds
3 Aura Blast

I'm going with Addle instead of the Verdict so I can guarantee getting a Pernicious Deed if I know my opponent is playing them, and so I don't see a 5/5 artifact creature. I'm not crazy about the Death Grasp's but they are creature removal and lifegain, something this deck needs both of.

I haven't play it against an actual opponent yet but I goldfished it about a dozen times and the mana base seems very clean (although it does get screwed like your average tri-color deck). I'll find out on Friday at the local IBC tourney.

All comments appreciated.
