The combo is an arbor elf with freed from the real on it and a forest with a dawn's reflection or a fertile ground on it and demonfiring for a lot.
The 'interesting' choices. I picked train of thought because it allows me to draw my deck. Demonfire because I don't have banefires. And I need to think of a sideboard, I was thinking of a transformatonal one, and making the deck a u/g control deck.
Okay then. You need to invest in some Banefires and up the count of them to 3 or 4 since that is your win con.
You could also drop some cash or trade for some Daze's for early game countering since you only really need one blue or green at any given time to play.
I'd say run counters in your main deck because that's what blue is all about. Maybe also throwing in more of the card that let you draw a ton of cards or you could go the route of playing Ancestral Vision to give you some more draw.
I'd reduce to one Demon Fire and add a Conflagrate. The reason is that unless you are hellbent Demonfire is but an expensive Disintegrate and if you have inf. mana there thus is no difference to a Conflagrate. Now, if you just drew your deck, you not only can kill a player more with the two cards, but more important, against counters you can empty your hand and draw two counters (relevant is that they spend resources), before casting the lethal hellbent Demonfire.

you might want to put in bloom tender. its auto matic infinite with freed from the reel and doesn't require a third card.
you need more of your combo and more ways to find it and your win con. you should have you X spell as a 4 of and multipe creatures to attach freed from the reel to. sadly i cant think of any tutors for the deck...

I would drop train of thought for Stroke of Genius or if you can't get those Braingeyser, as both serve as either draw engines or alternate kill cards since they can target any player. I would also cut the treasure hunts for Lotus Petals, the explores for Harrows and then reduce your land count by at least 2, 4 would be better, no need to draw into extra lands when you only need one forest and an island to win.
dawns reflection seems too slow, you may want to consider lowering your island count and using Utopia Sprawl and Birds of Paradise.
isn't mul daya channelers a more efficient way to abuse freed from the real? 2-card combos are way easier to set up, and channelers is still pretty budget
Wow this is a lot of help. I will prolly add the bloom tenders as arbor elves 5-8, as well as another card I saw, Pemmin's Aura as Freed 5-8, and replace train of thought with Stroke of Genius.
Another cool combo with freed from the real is an infinite mana combo, all you need are the spells: freed from the real, gilded lotus, and ensoul artifact. This is great for X mana costs, like banefire, or fascination

What I would do is cut the Demonfires altogether and just make a U/G control deck. You can use pingers as a win-con depending on your meta.
I used to use Thornwind Faeries and Sigil of Sleep to control the field and kill the opponent simultaneously.
Backed with Counterspells and Rune Snags and Mana Leaks you can't go wrong.

Anyone have some suggestions for sideboard?
