Just a idea what you all think?

The idea is interesting  I like it feel if you're going pack rats {mutavaults} are just too good,however, it's not your only win con so finding room for 2 would be nice.

{purphorpus,god of the forge} would be a nice fit as a 1-2 of simply for the free 2 damage.

Not sure how budget applies but would suggest over the god highly recommending {voice of resurgence}

-2 wake
-1 trostoni (as she's legendary)
-1 twin flame

would be a start for room for voice

Also just noticed your only black card is {pack rat} and sylvan and confluence are strictly your sources of back perhaps cut to three so that your chances of drawing a source to play it are marginally higher than the card itself. And you can make copy's of it so multitudes without 4 vaults in the deck and blacks to play in pairs may not be an ideal opener.

But that means that he also has 8 black sources which in my experience has always been able to get at least one.

Thanks for the input guys it is a very rough draft and still building it up.

I would love {Voice of Resurgence} but I can't justify the cost with it rotating so soon but I have all the rest so might throw it together and if I win some FNM with it I might start getting the Voices.

Keep in mind that voice is also run in modern and EDH so it may be a sound investment

As mentioned {voice of resurgence} sees play in most formats and will retain it's cost. I always proxy and test builds with feriends or randoms at a FNM prior to justifying the money on expensive cards ^^; racking up store credit is the way to go!
