Crystal Shard has to be effective for bouncing...

Dark banishing is definitely better than terror...

and I thought I'd read the whole post...:rolleyes:

Okay - no banishing...

considering the format - and the cards in your deck - and others - I'd run Grim Reminders...;)

"Talk about secret Tech..."

YEAH...

you're going to see lots of decks running cards in their decks that match yours...

They play a spell - and you play grim reminders, and they lose 6 life, then you can get it back and do it again... every turn almost...:D

I'd run Welding Jar as a cheap affinity fueler.

I've swapped out the Quicksilver Behemoths for:

Somber Hoverguard 5U
Affinity for Artifacts
Flying
3/2

I didn't have any evasion creatures.

So far, the deck kind of holds up well against other non-tournament decks. It's all the "Burn, Bounce & Destroy" spells that keeps me alive.

did you try grim reminders?...

You could also run hoversails to give any of your creatures flying...;)

No. I think Grim Reminder is a rare. This is a common rarity deck.

Hoversail sounds good. Having a flying 4/4 Myr Enforcer is tough to deal with :)

You need Broodstar. And Glimmervoid. And Lightning Greaves. And Atog. And...oh, wait, you said commons? Shoot...

If you are looking for a Greaves-esque card, try Whispersilk Cloak.
