True, don't know how it double posted, but w/e. I see your point about ornithopter, although I feel like he becomes almost a win-con after that... I have a close friend that's been playing affinity against me for a long time and tried mixing it up a whole lot of ways, & I like your build a lot. I think there's still a lot of answers to the flying, though, and it doesn't seem (to me) like a reliable enough form of evasion to be very consistent. How would you win against a longbow archer t2 when you're on the draw? Unblockable is a complete bitch with cranial plating - it's generally an auto-win. My buddy tested different combinations of cloak of mists, metathran soldier and whispersilk cloak for a while. Etched champion seems strong in this deck too, to me, even without affinity, although i haven't played against it.

Seems like only having 12 mana would screw up the isochron aspect of the deck. The affinity/0-cmc package seems solid, though. :). Also, cranial plating on it's own is really easy to chump block... you may want to consider whispersilk cloak to get through, and then I think a fabricate or two may be in order to help you come up with the right answers while the counterspells and mana leaks help stall. Lodestone myr could be something to think about as well. Hope i provided some food for thought. Good luck!
could probably sub memnite and ornithopter in for some of the equipment and some of the 2-drops, i.e; -2 basilisk collar -2 bonesplitter -2 leonin den-guard -2 sunspear shikari +4 memnite +4 ornithopter
steelshapers gift might be better than quest here
i use welkin hawk alongside squadron hawk with soulcatcher and soulcatchers' aerie, also why no suntail hawk?
i think the idea of mimic vat and incandescent soulstoke is incredible. I think smokebraider is much better than zektar as a 2-drop though. Just my 2 cents i don't know what works for you...
sygg, river guide is supposed to be sygg, river cutthroat
doesn't it feel like 2 joraga warcaller would have a home in this deck somewhere? maybe for 2 of the obstinate baloth?
i think i'll drop BtE for swords of light/shadow, fire/ice, and body/mind. thanks. : )
i'd drop the 2 vampire's bite for 2 megrim
