I feel like the rare times Mirrorpool is usable and the rare times it will swing the game wont align often enough for the amount it slows down the deck.

I took out a Mountain and both Gnarlwood Dryad, put in freshly spoiled Metalwork Colossus and 2 Traverse the Ulvenwald pulling out lands will power up Red Gearhulk and make Madcap less painful. Abandoning the early game for ramp and utility.

I don't worry about the 3 drop because some of the best starts don't need one.

Best starting pairs

1. Madcap Experiment + Vessel of Volatility Turn 3 combo

2. Arlinn Kord + Duskwatch Recruiter Turn 3 recruit for a Gearhulk and transform Duskwatch Turn 4 Arlinn Turn 5 Gearhulk with haste and vigilance

3. Grapple with the Past + Inexorable Blob followed by Key or Arlinn or Madcap turn 4

4. The next best start might be any 3 of these and assume you'll catch its partner by turn 4.

I'm not happy with Malevolent Whispers I want to keep is sorcery speed and expensive but with more synergy.
