Three {Geist of Saint Traft} seems excessive for a hexproof legendary.

I feel like {Chromatic Lantern} or the green enchantment that makes your lands all land types should be in here.

Those are going to eat removal once they realize you're five color.

{Prismatic Omen} seems very reasonable and saves you from {blood moon}. Side board at least.

do nothing enchantment that doesn't completely hose your opponent is not what you want in an aggro deck.

I wouldn't call a complete color fix and anti-{Blood Moon} a do nothing enchantment. I don't play much aggro though so he's probably right. I just really think it's worth considering for the SB.

No. It's do nothing. Also, I think Scooze seems meh here, you won't have time to use it until late. Also, geist and tribal flames need to be four ofs. Geist suicides into a blocker a lot, and having a second is always good. I play this deck a little, and multiple geists has never been an issue. Tribal flames is too good to not play 4.
