have you ever channeled planar portal into play and used it. it'll cost you 12 life. but its a life saver.

sorry. i would add a Zuran Orb or 4 and see where that got you as well.
i would also like to experiment with another chrome mox or 2. but this deck is all about the starting hand and i would hate to see more than one in my oppening.
it also runs mana crypt. basically you get mycosynth lattice into play and follow with killswitch. or just for fun toss out null rod and call it a draw. the esperzoa is a kill card and the artifact manipulator. bounce null rod during your upkeep, play spells attack with esperzoa, tap all mana, activate kill switch and drop null rod again. lol complicated
well i got one. and that's what makes it FTK. otherwise how are we gonna squeeze 5 mana out of turn 1.
