Death's Shadow is probably too cute because we want to win ASAP and we would have to splash a third color. We want to be consistent as possible. As for Delver of Secrets, this card is phenomenal if you can drop turn 1 or 2. It's funny when you drop him turn 1 and most people think you're playing U/R Delver and then you drop a Klin Fiend on turn 2 or 3. People are like wha????
Anyway, I'm glad people are taking notice of this deck! It's a great to deck to break into modern with and you can eventually add even more pieces that go into so many more decks. Also, it's a blast to play and it takes people by surprise!
I'll try to do some more testing tonight and provide more analysis's for this deck.

Amazing deck to play: it's been the funniest one I piloted since the Living End / Ad Nauseam ! I'll have to update my list for playtesting, but I'm glad to work it out with you and I'm looking forward to hear about you're results!
I've tested and came to the conclusion that Apostle's Blessing is not relevant if we run Mizzium Skin. Also, I'm thinking about removing the 4 Manamorphose for 4 copies of a creature. Thoughts on the new list and possible changes (suggestion of a creature)?
Apostle's Blessing most certainly is still relevant. It serves the purpose of protecting your creature AND possibly making it unblockable AND making situations where you have to block end in your favor AND protecting against Pyroclasm type effects. The last point being not as relevant, since Mizzium Skin boosts Kiln Fiend's toughness out of Pyroclasm range. Still, a double clasm, or bigger clasm (Like Anger of the Gods) would still work. Also, Apostle's Blessing requires no colored mana, but does have the lifeloss trade-off. Against decks with more than one color of removal (and creatures), Mizzium Skin is definitely better. Otherwise, Apostle's Blessing is better. The overload on Mizzium Skin is nice, but not relevant as often as you'd think, at least in my experience. Also, you often can't afford the extra mana to use it, especially if you need to cast another spell to threaten lethal and force removal.
Thanks for the insight : I haven't thought about Apostle's Blessing that way. Very interinsting insights about it. I'll surely bring back the 3 copies. I have decided to mainboard 2 Manamorphose. Thoughts or comments anyone?
Here's my updated list.
4 Kiln Fiend
4 Nivix Cyclops
4 Artful Dodge
3 Mizzium Skin
3 Lightning Bolt
4 Manamorphose
3 Mutagenic Growth
3 Apostle's Blessing
3 Assault Strobe
4 Gitaxian Probe
3 Stubborn Denial
4 Mountain
2 Steam Vents
4 Scalding Tarn
3 Sulfur Falls
4 Electrickery
4 Pyroclasm
4 Young Pyromancer
2 Annul
1 Lightning Bolt
This is pretty stock! I think I'll go the same way too and let know when I playtest.
