Consistency or Bombs in BUW tempo?

Standard Deck Help forum

Tempo of the Consuls Heya, Should I go with more consistency in this or keep the 1 of bombs? Torrential Gearhulk, Collective Brutality, Fatal Push, and Walking Ballista are all great, but I only have 1 of each. Should I remove them and complete the play sets of Contraband Kingpin +1 more Thalia, Heretic Cathar and Fairgrounds Warden? It would be more consistent, but I'm not sure if the deck will be too weak with out a few big boys.

im not sure Contraband Kingpin does enough for the deck, and while Collective Brutality is good, there isnt much you want to discard.

so i could see dropping the kingpins and maybe the brutality for some combination of push, ballista, Thraben Inspector or Heart of Kiran.

in your alternate list, it doesn't seem like you have enough artifacts to make the 4x kingpin and 4x Toolcraft Exemplar worth it, though that list does feel more consistent, but it feels like your trying to be (mardu) aggro with control/filtering magic, which slows you down.
