Yeah, I think 3 Scapegoats is from when I first built the deck and the current reference build ran that number. I haven't really had much opportunity to play the deck for real so I haven't kept up with all the latest changes as it gets tested.
Would you mind going into details on your Land Grand thoughts?
No problem, I've been thinking more and more intricately about it the longer I've played the deck.
Land Grant as a mana source is very dangerous; unlike lands or ESG, it is counterable, and your opponent gets to see your hand before deciding whether to counter it. It also has a serious double-edged sword over the other mana sources because it thins your deck when drawn early, but drawing multiples or lands means that extra Land Grants are dead. Extras of other mana sources are still useful.
Land Grant is very useful when you are running Skyshroud Cutter and 4 Summoner's Pact, because it gives you better odds of having a land so that you can play Cutter for free. Without Land Grants, you only have 2-3 cards in your deck that make him playable. I still don't run more than 3, but when I run Cutter as part of my Pact package, I like to have at least a couple Land Grants to make him easier to play so that HE isn't a brick.

Any more of this, and Team Troll will be more than just a name.
