Nothing special at the moment, though I'm sure I'll tinker with all sorts of nonsense, particularly once I've got more play time. Delighted to finally have this deck after waffling for three years, and it's largely thanks to the tighter game offered by Growth Spiral and Opt. Mission Briefing may prove better than Snapcaster too, and potentially digging into instant speed ramp seems like a sign of a highly functional deck.

The only thing that stands out for me is that Farseek is much more annoying to cast now that we have the convenience of Growth Spiral. I'm considering running Kodama's Reach (extra land in hand playing nice with Growth Spiral), Wood Elves, or Solemn Simulacrum in at least one of the spots, and another Opt or Izzet Charm in the other.

At least for now I am playing without any graveyard hate. We're liable to win the good yardy matchups and lose the bad ones with or without boarding in answers (I think) so dedicating slots to things that don't change our winrate strikes me as odd.
