Thank you for the suggestion. I actually playtested with Personal Sanctuary and it definitely helps with Manabarbs, but outside of that it usually became a dead draw because it only worked with Manabarbs. I tried making it work when I was considering the werewolf route with Voltaic Visionary  ^Flip (plenty of turns go by with no spells played and no one wants to play enough spells for them transform back), but ended up taking too much damage by the time I got it. Still a pretty good combo though, I'll probably put it together in a different deck with Repercussion and Furnace of Rath.

Hey paintman37. Thanks for the feedback!

Oh yeah the Azorius variant definitely has a lot of neat synergies, especially with the white magecraft dudes.

I'd say that Stormchaser Drake definitely fits better in the Izzet variant since drawing two cards off Ancestral Anger is too sweet to pass up. Plus it's easier to give him haste via Kick in the Door to make sure he doesn't just sit there to get his teeth kicked on your opponent's turn.

Voltaic Visionary  ^Flip might be worth looking into, but I'm a little hesitant about Geistflame Reservoir since the mana sinks seem better fit for a control deck rather than an aggro deck.

Fun Deck! Been using it on arena for a bit and I love how it plays. A few things that I've been tweaking that might be helpful. Sea Gate Stormcaller on your maybeboard; I've been running an azorius deck that uses Stormchaser Drake in the same way, and honestly it does not help as much as it looks like it should. It can do some crazy combo stuff with Orvar, but it's very rare, plus you need a ton of mana to keep it going for good results. Things I added to the deck to help it were Geistflame Reservoir and Voltaic Visionary  ^Flip because the card draw they give you is great if you've got nothing but lands or creatures in your hand. Also I added some Den of the Bugbear's because it's a cheap manland that a lot of people don't expect.
