Too bad it's not blue or black, but Kruin Striker seems like it could have a place in that last deck.

Well Regarding deadeye navy~ could play around with it pairing with any titans would be extra sick since titans is already powerful in standard...frost titan can lockdown almost every creature of your opponents just for multiple times of 1U mana...two times same as every turn frost breath~ and attack with deadeye navy himself and deadeye navy himself is a five power is quite a large chump of your opponents life...plus the activated ability is not pay and tap to activate...so other surprise defender will just get tapped with another flicker of frost titan...but everything will be solved as long as it doesn't get paired...so it is another creature to protect with all cost...plus solving the mana problem...like playing UG ramp? will be fine i guess...O.O is the most basic use of him anyway =w= haha~ cont thinking of other interesting stuff...

Morselhoarder  + Essence Warden  ? (Or replace Morselhoarder with the individually cheaper pieces Priest of Gix  or Urabrask  + Gemstone Array  , but that's more colors for the deck to take on.)

Here are some good cardswith Deadeye. (no particular format)
Prime Time+Amulet of Vigor
Mystic Snake
Draining Whelk (The snake is generally better because it's cheaper, and counters on a body you're flickering all the time are almost useless.)
Coiling Oracle
Nevermaker
Dominus of Fealty (Flicker the Deadeye, bond it to the stolen creature, then flicker the new creature to keep it permanently.)
Mana base should include as many duels as possible, to maximize the Amulet. The best land would be Breeding Pool. Seaside Citadel should also be in there. Remember that multiple Amulets mean you can tap your land more than once when they ETB.
Putting this together into a decklist...
4 Amulet of Vigor
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Coiling Oracle
4 Deadeye Navigator
4 Dominus of Fealty
4 Mystic Snake
4 Nevermaker
4 Primeval Titan
4 Rampant Growth
4 Breeding Pool
4 Hinterland Harbor
4 Seaside Citadel
5 Forest
7 Island.

Deadeye Navigator  , Primeval Titan  and Amulet of Vigor  gets all the land in your deck into play. Then you can just cast some X spell for the win next turn. The Navigator costs 6 and to use him in a deck, you'd want the mana to flicker him the turn he comes out to protect him, which means quite a bit of mana, which means playing green (or infinite mana shenanigans like mentioned above). There's the aforementioned Titan for mana, and the usual elves and stuff, and land tutoring. What to flicker? Acidic Slime  becomes "   : destroy target artifact, enchantment, or land." See also Mist Raven  and Phyrexian Ingester  . Gryff Vanguard  becomes " : draw a card." Soul of the Harvest  works well with all of these. You could make a golem deck by flickering Splicers. Rules question: If you flicker Dungeon Geists  repeatedly in response to its ETB trigger, what happens? Do you get to tap-and-keep-tapped one creature for each time you flickered it, or just once, or what?

if you flicker at opponents turn...tap one each flicker...so kinda defensive tapping but you can swing with mostly no opposition on your turn...i think as far as i know bout the rules~ if wrong do correct me...

Every creature you target with the ability will tap, but only the final instance of the ability (IE: the one that resolves first off the stack) will keep the creature locked down. Every other instance of the ability on the stack is referencing a version of Dungeon Geists that no longer is on the battlefield, since each time you flicker it a "new" Dungeon Geists is showing up. The "Keep this tapped until" duration will already have passed because the Geists left the field before the duration even started.
Example: You flicker the Geists to tap down 4 copies of Mons Goblin Raiders  and a Goblin Hero  , in that order. All 5 creatures will tap, but only the Hero will stay tapped while the Geists stay in play, since the "version" of the Geists that tapped the Raiders will have already left the battlefield, fulfilling the end condition of the Geist's lockdown duration.

Shouldn't the tragic slips be bone splinters? Then that would allow the sacrifice of Phantasmal image.
Also, I might go mortar pods instead of Typhoid Rats.
