I would maybe commit more towards the aggro side of things. Chandra's Phoenix is excellent in this role, as it comes out swinging and has some nice evasion. I would also consider more burn spells, maybe fill out the playset of Magma Jet and consider Lightning Strike . Don't forget about Rakdos Shred-Freak too, its cheap and effective. Temple of Malice is coming soon so that'll be nice to have scry lands instead if guildgates. If you want to stick with midrange consider Desecration Demon if you have the cash. It just depends on whether you want to commit to aggro or midrange at this point.

Yeah I might run Desecration Demon in the Sideboard to swap with Rakdos, Lord of Riots He's sort of a fool me once kind of scenario... I might have to play around with that. I think it's possible to use the combo twice, it just depends on the colors the opponent is running.

My game plan is to win first game with the Utvara Combo, then for the second game, phase in Fanatic of Mogis , and let them hang on to a ton of removal waiting for the fatties. Instead I can build up my devotion, whittle them down and finish them with the Mogis Fanatics. I might just build my sideboard around changing my strategy completely to throw them off, rather than key it towards a specific meta.

Thanks for you input... it helped me get my brain moving. I'll probably run Rakdos Shred-Freak in the sideboard instead of Desecration Demon . I have them... I just don't like them getting tapped down. There's a lot of white weenie in my meta that has lots to sac. (Another reason why I've gone light on the spells.)
