the pick is between cutthroat and torrent. Torrent is expensive, but it is removal, and it's also faceburn. although we don't have much in the way of expensive stuff, so it's often a five-mana lightning bolt. whereas cutthroat is pretty damn efficient, but can screw us on the race. but off-color morphs are still fine for bluff/grey ogre purposes, so if we don't flip it it's okay. alright cutthroat. 
120.6. Some effects replace card draws.

Cutthroat. Let's see who wants to block our facedown morphs now.
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:

It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.
How Kedi tests his decks: Spoiler:

also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out

Halloween is a conspiracy by crossdressers and furries.
 Thanks to Kipz for the sig. Make a contract with me to become a magical girl!

choices: ark of blight is LD, which can be nice, but we have to devote two turns to playing it, so much of the tempo gain from it is lost in the set-up. rock jockey is basically a hill giant  since we can't play him until turn 4 anyway. the drawback is annoying. egotist is a morph, which makes it inherently fine. we have nothing to reward us for unmorphing. scattershot can be brutal if it goes off but it's often just a three-mana forked bolt  . that doesn't make it bad. war strike is a lava axe. I doubt it'll go for 5 often but 3-4 isn't out of the realm of possibility. if we expect to be aggro war strike is good for us. I'm gonna say scattershot. we have too much expensive stuff to be aggro.

Rock Jockey. I agree that the drawback is annoying, but the Hill Giant is king in the land of Gray Ogres.

Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights.
But you yourself are nothing so divine.
Just next in line.
