Never knew of this card before, but it's pretty cool. Could especially take
off when combined with something like Kami of the waning moon. and some
arcanes. I'm assuming you're trying to deck the opponent, so arcanes like
ethereal haze and dampen thought would be good along with those guys. A 1/5
could be a good blocker, so you might want something like Vigilence, but that
just seems like card disadvantage. Still, seems like there ought to be a way
to (ab)use the 5 toughness on that guy and still use his ability.
Scrabbling Claws or the like for sideboard against an opponent w/ Eternal
Witness, Soulshift, reanimation, etc.
would love to see what you come up with,

Hmm ... if I were to build one, I would want a way to consistantly ping with
it.
As you want blue/black my probable route weould to be clear the way for it
to
repeatedly ping at the dome.
That in mind, I'd probably do something like this
Thought Scalping
12 Island
8 Swamp
4 Waterveil Cavern
4 Ravenous Rats
4 Scalpelexis
3 Isochron Scepter
3 Reach Through Mists
4 Dampen Thought
3 Eerie Procession
3 Consuming Vortex
3 Eye of Nowhere
3 Rend Flesh
3 Hideous Laughter
3 Soulless Revival
The point of this one is to use all the Arcane spells and Splice to help
keep the
board clear and your options open. Put a useful instant on the Scepter so
you
can repeatedly Splice your spells instead of casting them. Mill to death
using
the Scalpelexis or Dampen Thought. Though I bet you'll probably win with
the
Thoughts without really hitting with the milling beast, so I'll put forth a
probably
wackier alternative
Scalp-a-Xerox
12 Swamp
8 Island
4 Salt Marsh
4 Scalpelexis
4 Bone Shredder/Nekrataal
4 Ravenous Rats
4 Man-o'-War
4 Clone
4 Soul Foundry
4 Diabolic Edict
4 Dark Banishing/Terror/Rend Flesh
4 Diabolic Tutor
Simple idea really, copy Scalpelexis via Clone, Soul Foundry or by my
favourite method ...
Clone *on* a Soul Foundry. The other creatures have control-oriented CIP
abilities,
exploitable by your other copiers.
If you want more copiers, add Sculpting Steel to copy your Soul Foundry and
imprint a
Clone on it. This way you use a Steel whch is copy of your Foundry to put a
Clone copy
into play as a copy of the copy Scalpy that you made with the Clone on your
original Foundry.
Confusion also rates as a tactic in this deck! ^_^
Just two off-the-head ideas and two-minute deck lists. I'll bet that
there's multiple
ways to improve them, but it's a start right?

4 x scalpelexis

Is what I do - but mine is mono-blue.

Whenever it inflicts combat damage - so throw a couple of fireshreakers in the deck.
It'll do 2 damage per strike, but remove at least 8 cards from The Game.
Fireshrieker
{3}
Artifact -- Equipment
Equipped creature has double strike. (It deals both first-strike and regular
combat damage.)
Equip {2} ({2}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.
This card comes into play unattached and stays in play if the creature leaves
play.)
Scalpelexis
{4}{U}
Creature -- Beast
1/5
Flying
Whenever Scalpelexis deals combat damage to a player, that player removes the
top four cards of his or her library from the game. If two or more of those
cards have the same name, repeat this process.

While the b-u build is effective consider usive the kiki-jiki alarm
lexus build.
since blue is already in your build format the use of dampen thought on
a isochron should be an option as well as boomerang.
the deck could be modified into a pinging bridges as well.
just don't forget the curiosity!

ok so its triggered on damage not combat damage, so the long bow
sounds perfect.
and as your pinging i'd like to go witht he lovely new equipment
neko-te
Neko-Te 3
Whenever equipped creature deals damage to a creature, tap that
creature. As long as Neko-Te remains in play, that creature doesn’t
untap during its controller’s untap step.
Whenever equipped creature deals damage to a player, that player loses
1 life.
Equip 2 Mana
so naturaly tim sounds good, and as were going equipment white sounds
good (steel shapers gift is fantastic, and a pair of auriok steel
shapers means you can tap down as many new creatures as you have
creatures every turn, or do 2 damage per creature if they don't drop
enough creatures every turn) also 1 or 2 more white ping attacking
creatures will realy slow the opponent down.
and then you can put in candles glow and ethereal haze to go with the
dampen thourghts.
4 Scalpelxis
4 Neko-Te
4 Viridian longbow
4 Auriok SteelShaper
4 Steel Shapers Gift
4 Eherial Haze
4 Candles Glow
4 Dampen Thourght
4 Arcane bouncers
24 land (preferably plenty of duals)

How about Whispersilk Cloak to get the Scalpelexis through? Makes
him unblockable and untargetable. Just a thought...

While we're at it, why not think about using Fireshrieker just to put 8
cards each turn?
