Added Devil's Play —Dec. 12, 2011

Decided to turn 1x Shock and 1x Island into 2x Devil's Play for a bigger burn spell that also has flashback!

Also took out the Frost Titan for another Charmbreaker Devils and took out the Adaptive Automatonfoils for Signal Pests!

You have an 18% chance of activating the Delver of Secrets  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Insectile Aberration; 26% chance of activating the Civilized Scholar  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Homicidal Brute.

Personally, I don't like the sound of that; it'll be great if you have 4x Ponder for that, so you'd be 54% likely to transform the Delver and 78% for the Scholar (if you retain the card type breakdown).

Hm, good call! I think I'll put it in over Mana Leak ... Offense can be the best defense :)

You need something bigger, something end game, so you dont get screwed in the end with as much mana as you will.

Hm, good call. Sort of a just-in-case thing? What do you suggest?

Well, even though its a bit overly used, i would advise using frost titan, or perhaps even inferno titan. You could really do something with any big creature. Maybe Jin gitaxias or Wurmcoil Engine something big that can help put a move on em. Or You could snag a planeswalker and use Jace, Memory Adept

2 titans would keep me under the $50 cap too, I like it. Now I just gotta decide what to drop, I wonder if I can get away with only running 20 lands...

I'd rework the Equipment and get some Sharpened Pitchfork . Will greatly benefit the humans. And I know it's a long way off, but when Dark Ascension launches, 4x Faithless Looting will be far and away better than ravings. I don't like the Automatons, but there isn't a whole lot that can really go in their spot. And possibly turn 2x Shock into 2x Arc Trail . And, for budget equips, even though it's a rare it's like $0.10, card:Runechanter's Pike. Enjoy.

Oh wow, good call on card:Runechanter's Pike. Probably will go with that over Trep Blade.

Agreed on everything actually. One sub I was considering for the Automaton was Signal Pest . I would lose a blocker though, so not sure about that.
