Yeah, try these substitutions:
Amber Prison --> Ring of Gix/Icy Manipulator

It's somewhat cheaper to cast and activate, a little more versatile too.

[linsivvi]

my brother plays with a deck like this and he has never lost with it, exept to me. Put in wildfire's, karn, arc lightning, faultline, grim monolith, urza's blueprints, chimieric staff, temporal aperature, covetous dragon's, phyrexian colosus, dwarven ruins, metal worker, crystal viens, I can e-mail you later with the exact decklist if you want. Just reply telling me if you want it.

Guys dont listen to sivvi. I like him and all but hes wrong on this one. His bro has not lost recently but its simpl the decks he's been playing against.

Someone (Lin Sivvi) has posted a Dojo deck on the CPA!!! He must be banished! Exiled!

Well, I suppose we ought to forgive Sivvi just this once, seeing as it's his first infraction.

Yeah, Sivvi's deck would work well, but I think Galtwish was trying to make a creative deck based around Metalworker and X-spells, and Sivvi is just changing it into a general dojo deck based on dragons and wildfires. I don't think Galtwish wanted people to change his deck into something completely different, he wanted advice on HIS deck.

Yeah, next time it's fifty lashes with an imaginary noodle.

Uh, Galtwish, I've posted what I can here, have you considered trying another color where spells are really expensive yet game ending (except Stroke of Genius, someone needs to be shot for that one)?

I'd put in Well of Knowledge or Horn of Plenty instead of the Urza's Blueprints. The Wells just rock! And Horn of Plenty turns all your spells into voluntary cantrips for 1.

I was trying to keep it T2 legal for ease of card selection. Here is my second version:

4 Karn, Silver Golem
4 Metalworker
4 Grim Monolith
4 Thran Dynamo
4 Voltaic Key
3 Urza's Blueprints
4 Amber Prison
4 Pack Hunt
4 Spontaneous Generation
2 Collective Unconcious
2 Volcanic Winds
4 Crystal Vein
4 Hickory Woodlot
2 Sandstone Needle
6 Forest
6 Mountians

Karn+Pack Hunt=Metalworker power
Volcanic Winds was made for this deck
I like the Amber Prison better than the Ring of Gix because it doesn't have echo, it doesn't require tapping 1 mana every turn, and it can keep a creature tapped, preventing Rebel/Mecenary searching, and you could event trap a Morphling if you are lucky. Plus, it's even more fun than the last version. Yeah, Saprolings!
