The idea of this deck is to maintain board presence while chipping away at your opponent's options, both literally and figuratively.

Ideally this deck will do relatively well against the storm combo decks, which I think is less threatening now anyways thanks to the addition of Electrickery.

I chose Mana Leak over Counterspell because I feel like both are efficient enough to get me into the late game without risking requiring two blue.

I think that I've picked correctly on the Ping/Tim mix and 16-18 is about where I want to be. The only ones I'm not sure of is Cinder Pyromancer. I may move to 3 of those and 3 Vithian Stinger.

My main problem right now is having very little to do the first turn.

Sideboard (very much WIP):Electrickery vs Goblin StormSigil of Sleep vs large creature decksForce Spike vs anything with early aggroSpectral Flight is for some extra oomph if I'm finding the ground is getting clogged.
