bonfire is out of my budget...and I'm trying to keep the cards that are rotating to minimum.

Trep blade seems a poor fit in this deck. Firstly, milling seems irrelevant to the deck. Also there are only 2, and the cost is high. So by the time you are able to swing with a creature that has it, milling a land might be helpful to your opponent. I would drop the blades and add 2 more pikes. Pikes give +x/+0, and the buff
a) stays
b) will only get bigger
c) gives the creature first strike so toughness isn't as big of a deal
d) fits will with the deck's theme of instants and sorceries
