Hey guys,Tried to post in Advertise deck pinned thread, but didn't get a reply, so figured I would try and post it here. Feel like it needs a bit of tweaking, thinking of adding Gifted Aetherborn, what do you all think?

Here's my take:

Opt is unnecessary here as you rarely have an untapped land on Turn 1 that you will want to use for it.

Kitesail Freebooter is great, but running 4 of main is kind of slow. Yes you are midrange but want to beat down a bit faster than a 1/2 flyer.

Suggestions:

Go over the top with The Scarab God at least as a 2 of.

Also, maindeck Vraska's Contempt deals with opposing Hazoret or Scarab God decks, so you just don't get run over game 1.

So, overall:

Out:

2x Opt

2x Kitesail Freebooter

In:

2x The Scarab God

2x Vraska's Contempt (from the sideboard)

*Move the 2x Kitesail Freebooters to the sideboard.

This is a suggestion I recommend trying out.

Also, I see another issue with your curve...you have a TON of 4 mana spells. I don't think with the raw power of each spell, that it is completely necessary for the Glimmer of Genius's. Might I suggest adding more Champion of Wits to the main. Also, Glint-Sleeve Siphoner is a good sideboard card against control decks.
