Primordial Hydra might be a cool place to use all that spare x mana instead of Epic Experiment or something like Increasing Confusion could also be cool since you can use it twice with only one draw.

I think Armed / Dangerous should be a viable alternative to Epic Experiment

I'd say drop the 2 rush of blood and put in the increasing confusion. Wild hunger is a much better card anyway and you have enough to keep you alive that you don't need to go that aggro. Also to go with your defender idea I have always loved Fog bank, maybe consider that.

I had wanted 4 extra defenders and it was a toss up between Gatecreeper Vine and Fog Bank and I decided some extra mana was a little better but I could replace 2 of them...just might go with the Increasing Confusion suggestion

I see your point and understand why you would want the gatecreeper vine but if your basing the majority of your damage on that small percentage of your deck then the fog bank help in keeping you alive those extra turns, even in the late game to get to the cards that you need. Just my reason behind it and something to think about while you try to decide. +1

Hey, just thinking for the defender situation, have you consider Doorkeeper it gives an option to mill some cards and helps with a mana boost for Axebane Guardian . Not entirely sure what to suggest take out for him but thought i'd through it out there.

Sorry for the poor typing...no excuses...simply didn't check before posting oh and have a +1

you could add Kiln Fiend too. and Assault Strobe works pretty well

Check this out, I haven't updated recently due to lack of interest but the card evaluation should still be solid.http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/casual-related-formats/primers/579260-primer-kiln-fiend-aggro

Have you considered Monastery Swiftspear in here? I think he would be better than guttersnipe. Snipes is good in theory, but he is a huge target when he hits the field. And being a 3 drop, your obviously casting him no earlier than turn 3, and to tap out and have him eat romoval instantly, just isnt worth it. Swiftspear hits with turn one and makes its is like a mini cyclops.

@8vomit: I've considered it and Monastery Swiftspear was going to be the card to replace Guttersnipe when i got a full playset...hard to find some just lying around with how little i bought of Khans though

Nice deck. Would replace Armed with Assault Strobe. If opponent destroys your Goblin Electromancer your double strike would still cost only 1.

You could splash black for Tainted Strike and/or Phyresis. Infect provides same effect as double strike reducing halph the damage you need to deal.
Apostle's Blessing Could make your creature unblockable for the cost of 2 life.
Just a couple ideas :)

I'd say that Epic Experiment is a bit out of place here. A lot of your spells would fizzle since you don't have a ton of direct burn and you are only running 21 instant/sorceries so its going to have a lot of dead drops anyways. I really like the full defender set up with Nivix Cyclops though, gread idea!
