Word, No worries! I have a soft spot in my heart for Ball Lightning and Lightning Skelemental I have a pretty similar deck built. Always good to see another build! I kinda like seeing Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger in there. I have Fling or Thud in the deck too get an extra shot out of the balls. Also, Flamekin Harbinger to search for the balls, and Blightning / Kolaghan's Command for disruption, and Dreadbore to help with removal. Cheers!

There are so many different types of removal cards/counters in MTG that building your deck around someone with a set of Orcish Bowmasters doesn't make sense. Sideboarding removal like you have works just fine. Pyroclasm and Surgical Extraction work, as well. Orcish Bowmasters is a good card, but it's easily dealt with. With that said, I love the deck. I am building something similar, specifically because I like the idea of Galvanic Discharge.

Also, I would consider dropping the number of Kolaghan's Command to a maximum of 2. I'd keep one in the main deck and maybe sideboard the 2nd? Also, your mana curve is kind of low to consider more than 1 Bloodbraid Elf or anything with a higher cost than 3-mana. Are you trying to make this Budget friendly?

Really like this shell. Corpse Dance and Sneak Attack are pet cards of mine and this is a great home for both!

Urza's Saga get dreadnought or your ring.

Hall of the Bandit Lord and/or Flamekin Village haste is useful in a pinch.

Riptide Laboratory commander protection.

Demonic Collusion neat discard outlet.

Prismari Command and/or Kolaghan's Command really neat swiss army knives.

Jaxis, the Troublemaker and/or Saheeli, the Sun's Brilliance on theme.

Kolaghan's Command the goodest of {BR} good stuff.

Dawn of the Dead is an amazing reanimation engine that you can easily abuse.

Imp's Mischief and Fork are really good.

TheVarcster, thanks for the upvote!

With Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Mutavault isn't a problem for me and in the meta of my particular (admittedly non-competitve) lgs and I rarely have issues. It's just a great card, so I like 3x.

As I say in the description, this deck is very much a response to my lgs meta. A few players play planeswalkers, and a couple play a lot of them. This lgs meta is very control light, and minimal combo played. Aggro and some Midrange are the most common decks. Thus, I need removal that can target creatures and planeswalkers more than I need a card like Collective Brutality when I already have Thoughtseize.

Kolaghan's Command might be good-- thanks for the suggestion.

I appreciate the comment! This deck is specifically tailored to my lgs. I do appreciate ideas, though!

Nice build. I run a deck that’s vaguely similar and I’ve found great success with Kolaghan's Command. The range of options is exactly what you’re looking for, and the value of returning one of your Elementals to your hand for reuse can’t be overstated. With reprints it’s cheaper than ever, too.
