{Counterflux}?
I just removed it because i doubt ill need an uncounterable counter, and if i did itd be in the sb if anything. The OL also rarely comes in handy if at all. I had it at first but decided i could use more removal and survival. This decks pretty terrible though so i guess it doesnt matter all tht much lmao.

i disagree. i think against a gray merchant deck, a bunch of the creatures may not me attacking.

I'd mainboard {Niv-Mizzet} and also check {Nivix Guildmage}.

I love suggestions and all but i kind of need a way to make this viable before i start tweaking it, as is i just sit there and survive for forever o.o at least in the 2 games i managed to play without getting super bored.. I just want to take my opponents creatures n bash face with them :(

Possibly a {chandra, pyromaster} or two? She pings...she gives a little card advantage...and if you hit her ultimate it's just bliss to see {turn/burn} pop up :)

Edit: was thinking of {toil/trouble} instead of {turn/burn} :/

I guess. But they'll still be able to play the first one again, and even a 4 point life swing (total, that is) is a good amount. If they can drop a second one the game is probably over.
Also,remember {underworld connections}. That and the whip won't be bounced.
