Still working on getting some more cards. What are your guys opinions of {evolving wilds} vs {shimmering grotto}

They're both dirt cheap, have a playset of both. {Shimmering Grotto} doesn't slow you down as much.

Edit: I really depends on your deck's strat and on the CC's of your spells.

I need to get a {snapcaster mage} I haven't got a single one out of some crazy amount of boosters but at the DKA prerelease so dude pulls a foil and a regular one...

Don't use belltower sphinx....

Don't have any snapcasters... What would be another "ok" sub?

{Invisible Stalker} is a decent sub.

Really can't sub that guy without going with a completely different kind of creature.  His ability is so unique....and awesome!!!!

Possibly {Past in flames} effect wise, but you'll be strapped for mana.

Changed out the sphinx for delver. Seems to be Pretty effective when they come out. The whole idea of thIs deck I's to hold other decks off until my keepers get online and then it's pretty much game over.

The blindness are bad , cut them for black sun's zenith and cut the fire balls for one more ponder and a devil's play or just 2 devil's play. Cut the twisted images for one mana leak and one dissipate. That's how I would run it.

I would use those if i had some lol. My decks have been made with cards i already own. still playtesting it I feel like the blindness has worked pretty well. People throw the majority of their attackers and really cuts or nullifies the damage all together. I feel the card I need most is {snapcaster mage} ... would be down for a BSZ

MaDeM MaD

I've never felt devils play is very good... Maybe it's just me, I'd rather be able to hit different targets if needed.

Sin.jecht

Yeah, snaps are great if you can get them, but if r on a budget you don't really need then. The blindness is just a bad fog, there are many better cards you could play,try 4 incenerates instead of the blindness and the twists.
