grapeshot only works if you use a lot of cards in one turn. It's better in a deck full of one drops. The problem with a deck full of one drops is that you end up running out of cards before the opponent is dead. The maximum number of cards you should play a turn with this deck is 4, and that's if you draw seething song. Realistically you should only ever need to play 4 mana, and if you havn't won by turn 6 you got pretty damn unlucky, or you made a mistake, or your opponent is using a deck specifically designed to counter ones like this, so there isn't any need to stack up a ton of spells in one turn. Really, grapeshot in this deck would never do more than 3 damage, and at that point why would you use that instead of incinerate or thunderbolt?
