I had wanted to make something a little less.. obvious. I tend to build creature decks, and wanted something a bit more techy than "Play creatures and attack with them". So I decided to look through our binders, pick a card, and build a deck around it. This is what I made. I have been tweaking it for a couple of weeks now, but wanted an expert opinion or two.

Creatures
4 Master Thief
4 Elguad Shieldmate
4  Delver of Secrets
2 Alchemist's Apprentice
2 Djinn of Wishes

Instants/Sorcerys

4 Naturalize
3 Ponder
3 Ghostly Flicker
3 Mitotic Manipulation
3 Disperse
1 Devistation Tide

Artifacts

4 Liquid Metal Coating
2 ratchet Bomb 

Lands

15 island
4 Shimmering Gratto
1 Forest
2 Evolving Wilds


So yeah. I want to get LMC out as quick as possible, then flicker my thieves, Naturalize problems, and basically steal as much as I can with him. Because of the wording on Ghostly Flicker, I actually get to keep anything I steal and then flicker. I also get to re-use the thief that I flicker. It's a pretty cool deck, albeit slow. And that's where I need help. If I get Djinn's out, things go much quicker, but sometimes it's just not enough. Without the LMC, I don't really have a whole lot going on.

Wing Splicer + Shape Anew = Rachet Bomb or LMC.

Or simply throw in some Forbidden Alchemy

I also think this deck should have a planB. I think a strong Grand Architect  shell would be nice.

4 Delver of Secrets - i dont know how often he will flip though Nephalia Smuggler Perhaps?
4 Grand Architect
3  Master Thief
2  Myr Battlesphere
1 Phyrexian Metamorph  

4 Liquimetal Coating   
4 Ponder
4 Vapor Snag
2 Mitotic Manipulation
4 Ghostly Flicker
2  Act of Aggression   - great with Ghostly Flicker    
1 Spine of Ish Sah
1 Ratchet Bomb   


  

I definatly like some of these suggestions. The act of aggression is nice. 5 mana and I get the same general effect as my theif. costs me a little life, but meh. The smuggler isnt a bad idea either. I get the flicker effect, but it's infinate, so basically as long as I save 4 mana,  I have a block that is immune to damage. Disperse vs Vapor snag is argueable, but the 1 mana cost is very tempting.. I would have to check and see if we have any grand architects. Spine of Ish Sah is a downright dirt idea and I love it.
