I'm debating on not running the Bog's, and instead just running 20x Swamp, and then possibly changing out the spellbombs in SB for Leyline of the Void.

oops... Ember Hauler is supposed to be in instead of Staggershock, actually.
Idea: How about adding in Sleep to optimize the use of Sunblast Angel? And with Mnemonic Wall, it's easy to get back. I would run extra Mnemonic walls (4x?).
I don't really need it, but it's just nice to hit it all. Especially with Ob Nix out.
There is a good deal of Titan ramp out there too, and UW control, but the majority is mono black infect, so I can switch out the grasps for Doom Blades easily if I run into something like that.
As of recently, Grasp is a more consistent kill card, save for larger creatures. Grasp will kill every creature in the mono black infect decks, which seem to run rampant in my metagame. Doom Blade will kill nothing in that situation, so I find Grasp to be better main board. Plus, grasp cannot be regenerated against either, so it most effectively kills Skithryx.
It's possible. The biggest reason I'm NOT running harrow over growth spasm is that I am only running 20 lands, and sacrificing lands seems to be a bad strategy.
Unfortunately, Rampant Growth went out of standard recently, which is what I try to build my decks around. Growth spasm not only fetches the land, but it does give me the chump blocker if I need it, or an extra mana to use for next turn. In all honesty, Rampant Growth and Growth spasm cost the same when you look at it. You just need to have one extra land out for Growth Spasm.
Have you thought about Basilisk Collar, so that you can kill off their creatures too? Basilisk Collar + Blade of the Bloodcheif on a Triskelion is deadly. And that way, you can control your opponent's board until Trisky has 10 counters on him to equip the Exoskeleton.
You may want to add in a few actual islands...
May I suggest taking out 2 plains for another sun titan and Felidar Sovereign, as well as taking out boon reflection for 2 more soul attendants to make the deck type 2. The second suggestion isn't necessary if you don't plan on playing standard, but if you did, that's just my take on how to.
It will probably go in the sideboard, depending on the situation.
It's true that removal of the galvanizers is the biggest weakness of the deck, however, I also believe that with enough mana ramp out of this deck, getting out a Battlesphere can also prove to be devastating.
Wow, I guess I was really tired when trying to put this together. I think what I'm going to end up doing is taking out the portal, especially since I read it wrong. I will just be using the vat and splinter twin to multiply my tokens. I think what's going in though is Raid Bombardment and Awakening Zone.
Yeah, I suppose the infinite Galvanizer/Battlesphere would probably be better. Also, I can end up with the infinite mana on turn 4 (or rather, the end of my opponents next turn.) Not too many decks out there, atleast in my metagame, are set up to win by turn 4.
The Infect was sideboarded, but I decided to go with a more enchantment based version. It had Grafted Exoskeleton in it as an additional fetch for the quest.
Thinking about making a remake of this deck, removing Kuldotha Rebirth, Memnite, and Galvanic Blast for Fling, Mortician Beetle, and Death Cultist.
There IS one issue with trying to use Copperhorn Scout. True, it may be able to almost double your mana pool, but it separates your mana pool over 2 main phases. This would work as an acceptable way of making it work better if Genesis wave was an instant, then you could cast it during your combat phase, but as it is, your mana pool empties after main phase one, and after the combat step.
Also, Nihil spellbomb can not counter the Eldrazi titans hitting the graveyard. Their effect will take precedence over the spellbomb, I believe, and the graveyard will be reset.
Not a problem! I do suggest atleast adding the Leyline for black. There's enough U/B dual lands to make it effective so you don't lose your blue mana sources, but you can effectively add the black so they can't counter mill you.
