This is the list I took to a PPTQ here in Seoul, South Korea. Top 8 with it, but in addition to being outplayed, i notice the mana base is not optimum. Need help in that area as well as the spell and creature selections. Positive reinforcements and comments welcome!!

(I made some improvements on my deck, thanks to multimedia and one of my bros, Hunter-Lawdog)
