YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG!!!!!

First of all, what the heck are you doing with "Sack-lands" in a Stasis
deck?????  What the hell are you going to do if you draw one of those
while stasis is in play.  I suggest that you play this land ratio:


4 City of Brass
4 Gemstone Mine
4 Undiscovered Paradise
4 Adakar Wastes
4 Underground River
2 Sheltered Valley
2 Island

Next, Kismet is about 200,000,000,000 times inferior to Equiose in this
deck.  Since you are sacrificing all your land, you can phase out all of
your opponents untapped land.  I would include 2 Kismet in the sideboard
for decks that have ways of breaking out of the lock with only 1 or two
mana (such as disechant, tranquil domain, or emerald charm)  Maybe include
1 Kismet in the main deck.  Also Equipose phases out there creatures. 
This replaces any other card that you would need to get rid of creatures.


Third,
You should not have ANY anti-creature cards in your deck other than
Equipose.  The reason is that they are totally unecassary.

Taking all these things into account, here is the REAL squandered stasis
deck:

Artifacts

1 Feldon's Cane
1 Anvil of Bogarden
1 Miser's Cage
4 Howling Mine

Blue

4 Force of Will
4 Arcane Denial
4 Stasis
4 Boomerang
2 Counterspell

White

4 Enlightened Tutor
3 Equipose 
1 Kismet

Gold

3 Squandered Resources
2 Lim Dul's Vault

Land

4 City of Brass
4 Gemstone Mine
4 Undiscovered Paradise
4 Adakar Wastes
4 Underground River
2 Sheltered Valley
2 Island

Sideboard

4 Hydroblasts
3 COP:Red
2 COP: Green
2 COP: Black
2 Karma
2 Kismet
