I always have beef with you deck on having too little mana. I keep wondering why you don't want a consistent manabase. I do know it's very tempting to keep your mana counts low, but your deck is nowhere NEAR short of being uncapable of using that mana either.

The first big combo you can instantly pick out is polluter/Lord combo. That thing's a pretty mana-intensive combo in itself, and certainly that alone shows that having extra mana isn't a bad thing either. It definitely outweights the high chance that you'll be missing the critical 4th mana for the warchief/souless one on your 4th turn, which really hurts the deck a lot.

A good number of the combos deal with discarding (raptor, infestation, etc.), so an investment on 4 unholy grottos and 4 lord of the undeads would be of help there. Yes, ADDING 4 unholy grottos would be both a huge boost to your depleted manabase AND it makes it so that you won't feel so guilty about adding land to your deck, since the land itself is so integral to your strategy.

Aside from that, it's just fixing the deck by tweaking your creature base and considering your options in removal and what not. The tutor helps quite a bit if you don't have the money to dish out for the lords and what not, that's for sure.

And before you start saying about the high mana base of 24. TRY IT OUT before passing judgement. ;)
