-4 Omenspeaker

-3 Wild Guess

+4 Frostburn Weird

+3 Turn / Burn

thelittleone convinced me on Frostburn Weird over Omenspeaker. I actually still feel it's a really close debate, but I decided the potential offensive ability is more valuable than the scry 2. Being able to survive Anger of the Gods is a nice bonus. What really convinced me, though, was that suggestion that the deck really COULD use another viable attacker. While Frostburn perhaps isn't as strong as Chandra's Phoenix, I feel it's far more reliable as a defender, and when it gets the chance, it WILL swing for more damage than the Phoenix can.

fidelacchius117 brought up a solid point that I feel can also be answered by one of thelittleone's suggestions. I really like Turn / Burn and wanted it in this deck from the start, but felt it was just a little too expensive for what it does. I still feel a little nervous about that, but I decided being able to deal with big creatures is too important to pass up. I decided to plug it right into the main in place of Wild Guess, since at absolute worst, it's a burn spell. I really like the idea of Wild Guess in this deck, but there's just too much I need to be able to do and not enough space to do it.

Thanks for the comments thus far, everyone! I appreciate the kind words and helpful suggestions!

@xephslayer: I'm iffy on the Cyclops in this build. When I'm ready to attack, he's only useful if I have a spell to cast first...which I may not always have. Add in that he's just not as easy to cast, versus the Weird's ability to go 4/1 at the cost of only mana I'm very liable to have...I can see arguments for either side, though. I'll definitely have to consider it.
