I were away from mtg since urza's saga and now need help to update my old
fun deck.
It was supposed to be a type 2 when I made it, but now most of the key card
are no longer type 2. Any suggustions to keep the deck in extended/type 2
format ?

step 1:
* Discard spell to force opponent to play whatever they have
* Ensnaring Bridge to stop all creature attack
step 2:
* Keep the Bridge in play
* Get the Null Brooch out in play
step 3:
* Get Sleeper Agent and Angel's Trumpet out

Here are the decklist:

1 Volrath's Stronghold (recycle Sleeper Agent)
18 swamp
2 Wasteland
4 Dark Ritual

1 Yawgmoth's Will (recycle motor. Used to play with 4)
1 Volrath's Dungeon (strip myself off cards and slow down opponent)
2 Soul Feast (in case meet worship)
4 Bone Shredder
2 Vampiric Tutor (new)

4 Thrull Surgeon \
4 Coercion > (hand destruction)
4 Duress /

2 Null Brooch (defense against dir. damage etc. and strip
myself off cards)

4 Sleeper Agent \
4 Ensnaring Bridge > (to win with)
3 Angel's Trumpet /

Nevinyrral's Disk and Cursed Scroll are the worst card against my deck.

I usually dont play in tournement, and therefore dont have need for a
sideboard. But here are some card which I could consider use as sideboard.
2 Nevinyrral's Disk
4 Ostracize
2 Cursed Totem (or 4?)
2 Drain Life

Thanx for your time!

*snip deck*

Except for the Dark Rituals, I _think_ everything here's Extended legal.

These two are banned in extended, AFAIK.

Maybe some Mox Diamonds? Though I don't feel as if the Bridge deck needs
mana acceleration much.

no ideas. Y. Agenda isn't nearly what you want...

You can replace rituals with Mox Diamonds and/or Lake of Dead. There's
no real substitute for Will, AFAIK... Maybe Feldon's Cane +
Necropotence...
