I'd say the deck is good, but I'd switch Origin Spellbomb for Tempered Steel and the Glint Hawks for Ornithopters or something.
The enchantment is pretty cool, I think the best curse shown so far.

Deck is built to be legal after roation, so no Thopter.
As for the Tempered Steel suggestion, this is more or less a Tempered Steel deck running a lot of the same creatures that deck runs. However, seeing this make me wonder if their is a reasonable way to work this into the deck since it will loss Steel Overseer come October.
Regardless, it is a cool card, and hopefully a good sign for the other curses we'll be getting.

I forgot they didn't put Thopter in M12.
So I guess I'll have to shell out for a couple of Mox Opals instead, or maybe some Heroes of Oxid Ridge.

Commenting on the last post there, yeah I think this is tempered steel 2.0 (post steel overseer) and i was thinking about what use would tempered steel be when the overseer goes away, this might be a temp answer I think.

For this deck (and most token-based ones in the upcoming environment, given what we know), this seems like just a worse varient of Tempered Steel. I'd rather have my 1/1 creatures be 3/3 immediately than 3/3 after they've connected twice.

Yea, a lot of people forget that Thopter was given a break.
And yea, Mox Opal would make the red splash a lot easier. And while playing Oxid Ridge might be a bit greedy, I can see it working too. Problem is when you start adding Mox and Hero you are well out of the budet catagory. Even Tempered Steel isn't the most budget friendly card. Still is an interesting avenue to go down for those that have the cash.

Yeah, this is definitely going in my Stonebrow EDH/Commander deck. Lots of cost effective tramplers. This could put the game out of reach pretty quickly.

Tempered Steel v 2.0?! I bet he would say this is completely different, but it really isnt. Yawn.
