Well, the answer to that question is three fold.

1. It's a 2/2 Flier for 4 mana with the restriction of requiring two black and is very susceptible to burn spells with only two toughness (and Heartless Summoning would leave it open to a single Gut Shot or any other burn spell, so definitely don't do that).

2. For 4 mana, most black players would rather play something to more quickly end the game, not stall it out.  And when you take into consideration that you have a whole bunch of extra cards in there to help it get through, it obviously doesn't do the job itself, like a lot of other cards do.

3. There are cheaper options to do essentially the same thing.  See Surgical Extraction.

But, as far as the premise of the deck goes, I like the idea.  Essentially get them to the point of only having lands in there deck is actually rather humorous.  I think you really should play on that fact and run some Surgical Extractions, and then really pair both up accordingly with other spells.  This deck is just begging to be a control deck, but it is too spread out.  Definitely needs some more straight out destruction and disruption.

Destroy or counter something big, Surgical Extraction.  Unsummon/Vapor Snag, attack with the Specter.  I think you need to worry a lot less about tying up their creatures with things like Sleep and making your guys unblockable, instead focus your efforts more on just removing them from play in whatever way possible.  If you can bounce or destroy everything they have, why do you need your guy to be unblockable?  Plus, that would give you far more options for exile targets.

Sorry for rambling, it is late...

We have Moderators?! 

Also, looking forward to the next release with lots of great new features.  And sebi, my offer still stands to lend a hand if you ever need it

I think that making this field mandatory might be a good idea, if only to help out newcomers that don't know why things didn't work out.
And there could be an additional option of "Other..." that lets you specify your own reason.

Congratulations!

I've been debating starting to collect some complete sets, but I haven't fully decided on what/when yet.

Unless I'm looking at something wrong, Glassdust Hulk says "Whenever another artifact comes into play under your control...", so it should work just fine in this deck.

I actually think it is a very interesting idea.

A neat addition might be Beast Within.  Would allow you to deal with some larger threats quickly, like Planeswalkers, but once you have a Parallel Lives or two out you can then easily use it on your own creature tokens or Goblin Arsonist as well to give yourself a huge mass of larger creatures.

Also, Craterhoof Behemoth could do some huge damage in this deck.  Either that or something else that can give some of your creatures trample or evasion to let them definitely get through.

This will popup a window where you can enter the editions for each of the cards.

TyWooOneTime, I think the better part of the addition of Vexing Devil is that you can make it fight the Stuffy Doll to automatically deal 4 damage to the opponent.  Either that or they take 4 damage to have you sac it.

Another interesting addition with the Stuffy Dolls could be Curse of Bloodletting.

But I definitely agree with imsully2 that Blasphemous Act is definitely a great way to go with Stuffy Doll, but it can get expensive as well.  I think keeping green in there and adding in some major ramp could be a great idea, especially because your main combo piece is at 5 CMC.

My suggestion would probably be to add in Borderland Ranger and/or Viridian Emissary for both early blockers and ramp.  Also, Krenko's Command could also help with early blockers, as well as increasing the creature count for the Blasphemous Act cost.

Might also want to come up with more ways to make things fight, like Prey Upon, at least for your sideboard, since they could easily destroy your Trackers and then you're hosed in that department.  Another option is Daybreak Ranger, which can also deal with flying creatures for you, since that will probably be an issue if you're focusing on green.

Sorry, lots of ideas floating around in my head.

I think you need to clear out some of the burn spells for an even better burn spell that would work wonders with this deck..... Burn at the Stake.  You're already going to be making tons of tokens and such.  With Burn at the Stake if, at any point, you have seven creatures (most likely less than that, if you've attacked even once) then it is a killing blow.

The one big reason that I might stick with the Blighted Agents right now is because I happened up this little number, Silver-Inlaid Dagger, which fits perfectly with both Blighted Agent and Invisible Stalker.

In a perfect world, things would fall into place like this:

1. Island, Silver-Inlaid Dagger

2. Island, Blighted Agent

3. Island, Grand Architect, Tap Grand Architect to equip dagger on agent.  Swing for 5 poison.

4. Swing again.  GG

That's a turn 4 kill with blue-aggro, assuming no disruption. That's pretty crazy in my mind.  And even with some disruption, it probably wouldn't take much after that.
And if I don't get that combo, the dagger on a stalker is almost just as scary since the stalker has Hexproof and can't be blown out of the water with targeted removal.

I do definitely like Dissipation Field though; very interesting card.  I have to get out of my EDH, don't do anything to piss people off, mindset to make use of some of those types of cards.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see how the deck does.  I'm already liking the looks of it, now I just need to test a few things out.

Oona, Queen of the Fae is another strong UB commander.

Drag and drop works fine for me.
