Does anyone think that spamming 2-drops is a viable strategy? Perhaps not, but there is a great interaction in there: making lots and lots of Voice of Resurgence tokens. With Saffi Eriksdotter, Cartel Aristocrat, Phantasmal Image, and Ojutai's Command it's possible to get some pretty big elementals. The mana base definitely still needs a lot of work. This is an idea that needs some dedication to get right, but I thought that I would share it anyways because I think it actually has a lot of great synergy and it's really fun to play. Any thoughts? too crazy for modern?
Turn 1 BoP into the always feared.... two drop? Maybe -4 Birds, + 4 AEther Vial? I realize you have some 4 drop spells, so maybe the birds are more important than I expect, but I think you might get more mileage out of the Vial.

*Edit* also, some fun cards to try in this shell might be Athreos, God of Passage and/or Evolutionary Leap. Particularly if you do try the Vial.
