This idea is fairly similar to BlinkRiders, but without the Riders.
Instead, it seeks to play out a bunch of morphs (more than your opponent can handle), and then win in a variety of different ways (Akroma beats, Brine/Doppleganger lock, Blinked Hellkite, etc.).
It's a nifty idea, but the problem arises if you don't see a momentary blink early. Vanilla 2/2s will eat crazy damage from aggro. The one saving grace is lightning angel to stale while you dig for blink. I might try it out though, since I play blinkriders in standard haha.

Don't forget the Bolts and Isolations to help against aggro as well.
Another thought I've had is trying to make room for Resurrection. If they kill your face-down morphs, God help them anyway.
The alternate decklist would probably be:
-3 Rift Bolt
+2 Resurrection
+1 Akroma, Angel of Wrath
Magus of the baazar & looter il-kor are both awesome with body double. And since you are running white, yeah ressurection is a must. Reanimator doesnt like graveyard hate like extirpate, so be careful.
Also, have you seen the new blue morph for FS? Holy crap a 5/6 flyer to blink up? He would definitely be a house in this deck. Cut the fathom seers and add him. Another thought is to add some defense to the deck, dream stalkers can reset morphs, aether membrame is hot for the bounce, and stingscourger and snapback can both be really good to buy you some time. I dunno, looks fun and Im really stoked about cool morphs in future sight.
Yeah, Maelstrom Djinn may find a place in here somewhere. It's nuts.
With all the blue goodness floating around now, maybe I should cut red from the deck? I could still run Fury Akroma, as I'd be able to Blink it or reanimate it into play. Maybe it'll move to the side, though. And with the loss of red, the mana base becomes much more stable and reliable. I'll have to give it a whirl and see how it goes.
I think I'm going to test this and see how it goes:
Yeah, Im liking this list a lot. I think the abuse of brine/blink + shapeshifter, or (soon) mahamoti/blink + shapeshifter. Akroma is awesome, and can be brought in against slower decks to punish them. Body double is my most favorite card since my Doppelganger + Clone + Seasinger (Naked mer-babe ftmfw) deck. Now with the magus, you just run through your library at lightning speed and full speed ahead. Also, I'd sb 2 of Bogardan Hellkite, 2 of Numot (if you still splash red) and maybe something else, like Dust Elemental. I dont think its a coincidence that in the same set as wannabe-***, we get a 4 drop that saves 2 creatures and itself, or just takes it for the team and you get your set pieces back. This guy is sweet tech, but if WW is too expensive, even a few Whitemane Lion sb would be good.

Another thing is that I believe Rough/Tumble to be better than Desolation Giant in the sideboard.
And another card perhaps worth using: Body Double.

The MD right now is geared to beat control, while the side brings in lots of tools against aggro.
