Standard slow? o.O You should try playing against my group. Though not as fast as Legacy decks, the Standard played in my group is pretty fast.

Funny you should suggest adding another colour, I've been chatting with a friend about adding white to add Elesh Norn :) The lack of Black Sun's in this deck is due to the fact I don't have any :( I may go green just to keep my costs down :? Here's the attempt at a WB build: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=249817
Things almost always seen to go wrong when he's involved (especially when he's practicing medicine on humans)
Hmmm... Did a quick look into Modern legal lands that add any colour mana and the only ones other than Forbidden Orchid that I'd consider are Gemstone Mine and Rupture Spire. Best part, they should be cheap ($) :D I still like the inclusion of the Hunted and I'd like to see them kept, but maybe reduced to 2 copies each. Also don't forget that green has land search spells that you can use to help with mana fixing :p
The common problem I have with the lands is they all have "______ enters the battlefield tapped". Maybe you could lower the number of non basic lands, add more basic and put in another land that can add any colour mana (City of Brass comes to mind).
I do find the U/G transformer more stable. Sadly I'm not too good with land base, especially for decks of more than 2 colours. Probably the main reason I cut red out of my one after testing it only twice :| But I'll take a look.
*reads deck name* O.O You sure you want to ask Zoidberg assistance on anything other than art? I know I wouldn't.
Honestly the only one of the cards I mentioned that I think you should use is the Infiltration Lens as you can put it on any of your creatures. Personally I'd replace Firebreathing with them.
Number of counters doesn't make a deck, it the player. I often play against people who net deck and defeat them. Although the deck is an awesome deck, not truly understanding the deck is most net decker's downfall. I win against these decks because I manipulate the inability for my opponent to truly understand the deck :) It's the same reason I only play decks I make myself as I often don't fully understand what other people are trying to achieve with their decks.
:p Unfortunately I can't take credit for finding the combo nor can I take credit for the formula :( There's an argument that the combo would actually produce infinite copies as the copies. The argument is that the copies would produce copies that in turn would produce copies... But I think that argument is wrong because as far as I understand it, the tokens should hit play all at once.
A friend runs a Tempered Steel deck and his is f**k fast. I'm sure he has more than 2 Tempered Steel in his and he also runs Hero of Bladehold. Battle cry in a Tempered Steel deck is just nasty :p
How is Glint Hawk Idol bad? It survives Black Sun and Day
Livewire Lash on an infect creature + pump spells = lots of fun (for you) :p
Just want to be sure, you do know Heartless Summoning doesn't affect the converted mana cost of your creatures? It only affects what you pay to play it.
Lol. I just worked it out, assuming your opponent didn't play any creatures, you put him on -14 :D Sadly, that's what a sideboard is for - combating your playgroup's decks and it's why mine is the way it is. The blue and green feel like a much better fit than red, even though red looks so promising :| What's 'Cockatrice' ? And don't give me the 'google it' thing, I told you, I'm lazy :p
I once designed a colourless eldrazi deck (back in July 2010) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=73814 I used Vesuva in my design. It's an awesome land :p Nowadays one could use both the Urza land ramp and the '12 Post' land ramp in an eldrazi deck... I mite just go design one using this...
Not having enough fogs played a big part in the sideboard I use in mine. After sidebording I can have up to 16 fogs in my deck, though I normally only go to 12 :p I've been thinking of making a WBG version of my deck, I'll post a link here when I'm done designing it.
Love the 'Transformer Sideboard' :D it should keep the opponent on his toes. I've always been a fan of sideboards that change the deck completely :p
Funny you thought of that, I just got a set of Dash Hopes for my sideboard. Dash Hopes is just a win/win to me :D The double black mite be a problem though, but that's what playtesting is for.
I like :D and with a slight modification of the lands, I could build a more wallet friendly version :p
