Sorry about that. I'm used to dealing with forum trolls who think they'll have the exact card for the exact situation exactly when it comes up. In my playgroup, a common deck building exercise is to rattle off things that answer the cards in your build, but it's understood that having an answer is a matter of the other player's skills and random chance. I try to keep an open mind about the most common answers, but sometimes one slips through the cracks. Thank you.

The open-minded player in me says "good advice". But, the realist in me says that if I'm preparing for every single possibility in one game, I might as well just play answers. Only answers.The problem with logic like "[I'll] just fog" is that it means you're playing in a perfect environment where you will have access to all the spells you'll ever want. This is Magic; there is an answer for every card. The problem is having the answer you need when you need it. My likely response to Fog would probably be Dispel.Oh. Look. There it is. Already in the main.
Did some testing and I can agree with the call of Isochron. It wasn't even showing up and I was still crushing out lethal at turns 4-6.
General consensus is Lightning Bolt and Isochron Scepter in... but no good input on what to take out. Looking at the list, I've thought about popping Gitaxian Probes (-3) and Artful Dodge (-3) for equal amounts of each. Thoughts?
Emphasis on Instants and Sorceries for the purpose of beefing the Fiend/Cyclops/Dragonauts. Good idea, otherwise, though. Thanks.
