My current standard deck of choice - homebrew, not netdecked.

Performs very well against the majority of decks in the metagame but has a horrible matchup against tezzeret and a really bad game 1 against other control lists so the mainboard configuration should be different if you're in a control heavy local meta.

Note: I would have he deck trimmed down to 60 with more playtesting time but at present I haven't done enough to work out if the final cut should be the 2nd black sun's zenith, the 3rd snapcaster mage or the 4th vampire nighthawk but I'm fairly sure it's one of those three.

Edit: Moved the final Nighthawk into the Maybeboard since I have a gut feeling that's probably the correct cut.

Edit 2: After taking 2nd place in a recent tournament and not once siding in the second magmaquake all the while constantly siding in a 4th nighthawk (having incorrectly removed the into the core from the board due to not expecting any tezzeret or trading post decks - which I naturally lost to in the final) I've cut the 2nd magmaquake in favour of the 4th nighthawk.
