This is a deck I've been working on. I originally started with an Asshai rush deck similar to Staton's. Figured I would go with something new and attempt to make a working Shadows variant. I'm not really sure how well this one is going to work, and I'd like to hear from you guys about ways to make the deck more competetive. Thanks for looking!

I've run a deck similar to this, and in my experience, it helps to have some other 0 cost shadows guys (aside from Syrio) for fueling the shadow lands -- something like Shadowcat (KotS) or Silent Sisters (KotS). I personally like doubling (or tripling) up on The Black Cells (TftRK) -- 2 or 3 of those out can be fueled by Syrio or sister of truth coming out of shadows and pins down 2 characters. I also like running Margaery Tyrell (TftRK) with asshai shadows--extra character based control.*

* Although of course, at least in my meta, shadows/character control isn't quite as deadly, with Martell bounce and Targ ambush control in abundance.
