Deck Construction: Three Concepts for January- Bad Borg

I've already posted my thoughts on the Bad Borg deck.

The critical elements of the deck include:
Draksar Doomslayer x2
Temple Guardian x2
Skeezick Arthomancer x2
Draconic Benediction
Taint x2
Hive x2
Crypt Guardian
Essence Drain x2
Mobilization
Mason's Spire

That represents the core conceits of the deck: SL creatures allied with the FW, Hives, and a few parity-breaking spells. I'd like to further bolster these selections with some Area Damage spells (because, really, why not?) and more units which benefit from Regeneration and a defense boost. Executioners are wonderful for this, especially with a potential regenerating Avatar. Ravenwraiths are also superb, and a great target for a Shield of Darkness; I try to play them whenever I'm not running Nora Gen. The Flesh-Sewn Helm's disease aura is nasty, but Physical Resist 2 probably makes up for it, especially with Regeneration. Drakewing Swarms seem great for this, since they're resilient and, once dead, will pop back quickly. They also provide Range 1-2 on their attacks and a non-physical damage type, as well as distract. I'm back and forth between a Krikkinwing (Ranged attacks, area effects, poison immunity) and Draksar Berserker (Massive damage and quasi-range/AoE in Pounce). I go with the Berserker because he's new and I want to xp him.

Here's an initial list, then.

Drakewing Swarm x2
Draksar Berserker
Draksar Doomslayer x2
Draksar Psion x2
Skeezick Arthomancer x2
Temple Guardian x2
Warcharged Skeezick
Draconic Benediction
Firestorm
Taint
Abomination
Anthropomancer
Crypt Guardian
Dead Fairy x2
Executioner x2
Ravenwraith x2
Essence Drain x2
Mobilization
Mason's Spire
Flesh-Sewn Helm
Shield of Darkness
