I would play aggro round 1 and then pull this combo/synergy combo out round 2 ... if I tought I could get away with it or was siding in lots of removal anyways.

The featured card is Storm Fleet Spy because my original impression of grixis ramp was to use draw spells to do more each turn. I thought, what could I do with all that multicolored mana? Drawing into more cards tonplay was what came to mind based on what I pulled.

This needs another 2x Walk the Plank in place of 2 of the bounce spells.

I give a lot of credit to other decks like this that are running Marrionette master and Mechanized Production. Those are stronger than Revel in Riches. I am trying to make a new deck that doesn't rely on soon-to-rotate cards in that way. If it can't run without those then I'm aiming to keep revising until it can.
