I had an idea for a real abomination of a deck tonight and I'm putting it out there to see if anyone has any suggestions to contribute to it. Basically the idea is to use Squee, Goblin Nabob and Ovalchase Daredevil (+Sliversmith) to pitch as endless gas for a deck full of spellshapers.
Everytime you land an artefact 1/1 or spellshaper, Intruder Alarm could do some fun stuff.
That said, it doesn't solve the mana issue - Prophet of Kruphix might enable your deck idea to just go thermo-nuclear.
The double-colored costs scare me off a little. But then again, it's not really destined to be a good deck anyways and I already have a Mageta, so in they go.

Intruder Alarm went through a buyout recently so that's a bummer. I could see adding a single Prophet of Kruphix to spice things up a little (they always get groans from my table so I never put more than one in a deck.)
I finally got a chance to build and play this deck, and I liked it. I ended up dropping white but adding Sultai Charm in place of Devout Witness so that I'd still have an out against artifacts and enchantments.
If I were to make changes to this deck, I'd want to find a way to squeeze more different spellshapers in while still maintaining a modicum of competitiveness.

The deck won in its first outing. It was actually able to recover nicely from an early wrath thanks to a Tortured Existence on the field, Sliversmith and Ovalchase Daredevil in the yard and a creature card in hand. I was able to stall my opponents with Dawnstrider and drain them with Urborg Syphon-Mage.
