I never expected this to be a competitive deck, but even my casual metagame is starting to get a little spicy, and I could use some advice tweaking the following:
The hope has been to empty my hand into RFG/suspend quickly and accelerate suspended creatures with the Rift Elemental (hopefully while pushing some damage). I try to time Wheel of Fate such that my opponent is discarding more than I am when it goes off, plus the bounce available from Wipe Away and Dead//Gone helps to spot clean threats into their discard.
And Riddle of lightning. Look into that, especially if you go with Kraken or Gargadon. 5 mana for 10 damage is always a bargain.

Thanks for the advice.
I agree that room needs to be remade for my fourth Kraken. I'm also rethinking my distaste for Greater Gargadon: since the sand mages are often just chump blockers after they do their come into play stuff, I could easily see sacking them dmg on the stack and such, plus it could fuel a big swing from the rift elemental. Jhoira would be great but I lack any, and lacking Jhoira makes me think the Chronicler is too expensive for its somewhat unstable P/T. I've had them in the deck before, and they've behaved in a somewhat lackluster fashion. I know the card is awesome, I just don't think that this is the deck for it.
I am also pretty happy with the RoL idea, if I swap in the Gargadon and the last Kraken, I will probably also go for some Riddle damage.
