Capable of consistent turn 2/3 wins without disruption. Able to power through disruption with recursion and draw capability. Very consistent mana base. Added Monastery swiftspear for additional damage and a target for removal.

Apostle's blessing can be saved to protect your creature or to get damage through. Don't forget its ability to protect against artifacts! Faithless looting is great at digging for what you want. I wish it netted a card, but being red it fits with the mana base. Noxious revival can put a card, usually Nivmagus from your graveyard back on top of your library or if you know your opponent is needing to draw a kill spell, put that fetch land back on top of their library.

I'm really on the fence with using Surgical extraction. Could be useful.
