I would add {artful dodge} or {dark favor and take out the lash because it's almost useless in the deck....

{Predator's gambit} > {dark favor}

I like {artful dodge}l but the {apostle's blessings} make it obsolete since I can use pro color/art to attack unblocked or protect

Wait..
{livewire lash} is the only reason I play the deck

You do know I'm playing all these small one costs to splash on my creatures FOR the {livewire lash} right?

"when a creature I control equipped with "LL" is targeted by a spell "this creature" deals 2 damage to target creature or player"

So I equip, boost spam poison burn and then swing in on like turn four for game and hold a counterspell or apostle's for unblockable or pro color for game!

[Sagemaster]

Hmmm okay and with the pro you're paying life do that could potentially be a problem.. And you don't have enought spells to target your own creatures which is why I suggested taking it out...

Well maybe 12 is good but still and doesn't artful dodge have flashback?

I do know how the deck works....I've made one before myself...

Yeah that's why it's a tough call I mean apostles I think having the added benefit of the pro color for defense is particularly nice, but I love that artful has 1 u fb

At the super iq I ran

3 apostle 3 mana leak 3 corrupted 3 spectral flight and 4 ponder 4 mutagenic 4 lash but I never saw apostle and never used mana leak for anything significant

Did 2 artful and 2 apostle on fnm the day prior got one game off an artful with inkmoth

But the thing is, blighted agent is already unblockable
