Yeah, and only $25 without Elspeth :) I made some edits--it's all standard now, for instance, so hopefully it will work even better. Also I had mistakenly put Semblance Anvils in the deck instead of Mimic Vats. I always mix up those two.

I agree. What creatures would you recommend? Should I splash green or black? I'm hoping that getting Omen machine out turn six will severely cripple any control attempts.
Correct. With Silverskin eqipped, however, all my creatures have shroud. Any advice on making the deck faster?
Also, those geosurges and palladiums are there for a red sun's zenith end game option. Mana is never wasted.
What would you substitute?

You might try adding some tainted strike for the spikeshot elder, since it's useless without grafted exoskeleton or phyresis. Also, maybe a couple throne of geths, since you need a way to get the wellsprings into the gaveyard anyway.
Advice noted.
Arc Runner + Distortion Strike (6), Fling x 2 w/Fire Servant (12), Where Ancients Tread (5) = (23) Arc Runner, Distortion Strike, and Fling are all Instants/Sorceries, so everything in the combo gets rebound from Cast Through Time. Assuming you didn't lose your Fire Servant, everything is re-cast next turn for 23 more damage. As for Scoria Elemental, I needed the cheapest 5 power creature I could think of, for WAT and the Splinter Twin combo. Sometimes strategies can utilize otherwise terrible cards.
To keep the precursors alive, you might put in 2x Leyline of Sanctity. You could have it out turn 1, unlike Asceticism.
I feel like the tokens are really important to the raid bombardment strategy. I am incorporating your suggestions though.
What do you suggest?
Good points. I took out the magnets and put in the vector asps for more offence, as well as more artifacts I'd be willing to sacrifice with ToG.
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to put in some Survival Caches and take out the Sentinels and Wurmcoils like you suggested. The Sejiri Merfolk, however, I've always found really useful early on since they're 2/1 first strike lifelinks for 2. That's hard to beat on round two. Since the merfolk and shikari already will have lifelink when equipped, I'm not sure I should use the basilisk collar. It seems redundant. I do see the use of the firststrike/deathtouch combo though.
