This is the deck I'm currently building. I feel like it can be really strong. It's performed well in play testing. Could use some sideboard help, but all suggestions and comments welcome!

What's the  {Grisly Salvage} for? If you are using it to find creatures  {Forbidden Alchemy} might be better for you. Looks fun.

Grisely salvage is better at finding creatures. Forbidden alchemy has more utility in the sense you can dig for instants/sorcs.

The deck isn't a tempo deck. It's more of a midrange control deck.

If you wanted to make a BUG tempo deck, you'd be playing cards like skirsdag high priest, snap castor, strangleroot geist, hands of binding, unsummon and rapid hybridization.

I know it was origannly tempo but ended up more midrange. I like grisly savage better because the flashback costs less with snapcaster and all the instants and sorcerers can be flash backed anyways.
