I appreciate your feedback, but the
snapcaster mage synergizes with really well with the
Riptide Lab since you're able to return snapcaster back to your hand and
flash back another card from the graveyard. He's not just there for the lols, he's amazing for tempo.
However, maybe taking snappy out for stoneforges and a
batterskull might be a fairly viable option, so I might give that a go (also I like
batterskull being in the deck, sounds absolutely amazing!)
And on the idea of the inclution
Aether vial being in the deck, I can see why you'd want to play it in the deck (sounds fun), but I think
Aether Vial would only work half the time since there's not really a critical mass of creatures in the deck. I could very well be wrong (and I will playtest), it's more than likely going to just be a
dead card half the time.
Again, I appreciate the feedback and will definitely take your comment in consideration!
