This is my version of a deck recently thrown around in Texas. The changes I focused on were improving early and late game situations (Vapor Snap, Spellskite, mainboard Blue Sun's Zenith) and some pet favorites (Druidic Satchel) which in this deck is very effective at facilitating draws, filtering out bad spurts of lands or generating blockers.

Additionally, I believe other decks of this genre have missed the mark with their sideboard and about half of the cards have changed. I believe the Sun Titan can also be a Batterskull depending on your taste. Phyrexian metamorph is a must I think as Thrun is problematic for this deck.

If you want to add another land, I would consider another Buried Ruin or Ghost Quarter, but I find that 26 lands is ideal for this deck.
