Lighthouse Chronologist... My goodness, that's an annoying card. I say add it. It will flow well with your deck, and also add some extra damage for your burn. Maybe you could add some burn creatures to your deck too, for protection. What I see, it's extremely spell oriented... I'd add some creatures in addition to Cronologist, especially against swarm decks... Balefire Dragonand Mordant Dragon are a good pick, because each time they hit the opponent, they deal damage = to their attack power to each creature. Also, Falkenrath Exterminator would be nice, it would power up each time you hit, and is able to do some removal when it's power is high enough, which should be totally ready by turn 4. Over all... It looks nice. Ummm, what are the other six cards though? You only have 54 up there. Also, Cascade Bluffs phased out with Innistrad. Sorry, that blocks gone now. BTW, nice on Red and Blue, nice colors. Sulfur falls should be a good replacement for Cascade though

Sorry my count was off, I had 38 spells, not 32. Anyways I dropped the Bluffs and added 2 Slagstorm as a good way to wipe the board if I need it, I could also run Whipeflare or Pyroclasm. Either way I think more burn is needed. I still need to figure out my Chronologist and whether or not I run him. Thanks for complimenting my deck, if you have an ideal list on my mind please share but otherwise your commentary is duely noted.

Hmmm, Good choices on the Slags and Pyro-whips. Actually, those are amazing choices, especcially since it can't backfire on you. Have you considered running some Myr's for mana acceleration? They can help you get that mana up quickly when you get mana messed. Though you do have a few low cost mill cards. And for regaining sorceries and instants from your grave, Charmbreaker Devil's is a good choice in addition to call to mind, and offers a somewhat fat blocker when you need one. Have you playtested your deck yet? It looks really good on paper, diabolically annoying actually, but I'm interested in how running only 20 mana will work for you. I usually run 24 mana in any deck less than 65 cards, though I do use a lot of fatties normally. When I don't, I usually lose because someone has a 7/7 or something like that. Though, your not running a creature deck, and you have some temp removal cards, and counters, so, you might be able to squeze past those.

I have not played this build, I played thi deck when M10 was still around in standard, things like Vapor Snag wern't there and I had Unsummon in it's place. The guy who introduced my to the deck helped me build it, suggesting things like Preordain when Ponder went out and other changes. This deck originally was 4 colors, Green, Red, Blue, ad White, cuase before Call to Mind he had to use Naya Charm. This deck did ok, no great but ok when it was in Standard. I liked it and decided t build it.
My problem with the deck was facing utility creatures, ones that destroyed stuff like artifacts ad enchantments. I also only ran Mana Leak for counter magic so I added Spell Pierce for early game help. I also though since I'd be copying spells with layering counters like Mana Leak is mean, and it works. So I'm looking to build this as a for fun deck, or maybe I'll take it to Extended or Modern events. We shall see.
Good luck bro, I hope it works for ya. I love utility creatures, but I hate when they're used on me, like Fiend Hunter. I don't usually have an answer when people play him.
