Just a idea I had, I like the look of it but haven't tested yet.

Any input would be great thanks all.

I figured, but it still seems excessive. At most, I'd only play 3 of the same legendary in the same deck

Why no bolts? Haven't looked at the deck extensively yet but if it's blue red incus stalker plus rune pike with burn and light counter card draw is rather amusing

Your speech is a little disorganized. Feeling alright? You're blurring moser and standard. Puke just rotated out

Sorry it's late and my space bar is being screwy I meant to say why not burn with invis stalker equipped with runechanters pike? Then use your blue base for counter/card draw?

Standard just rotated. Invisible stalker AND rune changers pike rotated out with the introduction of the new expansion Theros.

No more Inistrad in standard play

Updated the deck it is running a little smother now and looking at the sideboard now but feel the main deck can still be worked on so more input is welcome.

My opinion, can the hammers for a play set of  {Guttersnipe}. Just my .02

Sideboard:
4 {Omenspeaker} for fast aggo
2-3 {cyclonic rift} for obscure removal
1-3 {rapid hybridization} for big creature decks

Not sure if you need help against tokens , but you could consider {ratchet bomb}

I love guttersnipe in decks like this. It's not a bit about physical damage, it's 100% about the trigger. Figure, you have 2 out, you  {Lightning Strike} and  {Wild Ricochet}, solid 14 damage all day.

All my opponents know better to let guttersnipe live past turn 3 :/

Yeah, same here, but when they can't put together an answer, they're great.

If nothing else, your guttersnipe a can attract their kill spells in order to send your chimeras through, scotch free

I would consider replacing {Spellheart Chimera} with {Nivix Cyclops} it will survive {Anger of the Gods}.

So took the deck to FNM and ended 5th out of 27 players so not that bad but could still be better had some trouble vs full control decks but played well. I am feeling I need to go back to my roots and build tempo but this is going well and more thoughts on the deck is welcome.
