Decimate is ridiculously good, you should be running it. 6 mana to destroy eight permanents. I'm probably not going to run Fire/Ice or Electrolyze, as neither seem to have a big enough effect. We'll see where it goes, I may be able to pick up some new cards. At the moment though, I'm working on my Voltron Rafiq.

Decimate is fabulous, IF you have all the targets on the board to wreck.  If you don't have any one of the targets you can't cast the spell.  I've seen plenty of boards without either creatures or enchantments which has soured me on the card.  I play a decent amount of 1vs1 and my group games are usually smaller, no more than 5 players.   It's good, but not auto include in my book.  I would definitely run Hullbreach (as you are) and Relic Crush (amongst others) before Decimate.

The deck needs Time Stretch.

My Riku runs Splinter Twin, which can end a game all on it's own through recurring Eternal Witnesses fetching back Time stretches and Time Warp, or just beating face with infinite Exarches or Faeries. Kiki Jiki deserves mention, too.

Find a Tooth and Nail and stick it in there.

I love Searing Wind in this deck. I love saying "Take 20."

I have no idea what's happening to this deck. I'm rather enthralled by my Rafiq deck at the moment, but all your suggestions are appreciated, as I am constructing an "ideal decklist" that I will make at some point.

And I dislike infinite combos in my decks, annoys people. I will run Time Stretch though, as taking 4 extra turns is just fun.

Searing Wind is sort of meh, probably won't run it.

Tooth and Nail is a definite add.

And yeah, I find that Decimate always has targets. If it doesn't have two of everything, I don't bother copying it - it's still 4 permanents for 4 mana.

I understand you not wanting to make the entire deck about copying...but the colors you're in lend yourself to that really well. I for sure think you need to include Tooth and nail and Primeval Titan. Riku duplicates all of your time stretch effects, as well as knowledge exploitation type stuff too. Which makes you mana dependent, mana reflection is really good in this deck. Even along with all the normal mana ramp.

In the Anarchist v Nucklavee debate... isn't Izzet Chronarch just plain better? Less splashable but you have a solid manabase...

I would run Mnemonic Wall over the Chronarch. He's a nice second option before Anarchist/Nuck.
