I was being sneaky, anvil of bogardin is both draw acceleration AND discard :P Besides that the reason I went all swamp is because of the retrace on raven's crime. I had a strip mine in there but it slowed me down more than both my opponents and half the time I was like gosh I wish this were a swamp.

I did think about dash hopes, and I do have some. They're effectively 5 damage for 2 since nobody will let you counter a game winning card and while that's not bad 1. hymn to tauroch is better for me here and 2. I just found myself discarding them any time I was playing anvil of bogardin for card acceleration (vs myself of course), I kept feeling like I'd rather have a swamp. Transformer cards are awesome and were I running pox they'd for sure be in there, but I'm not sure it'll be useful here. I agree damnation and tendrils would be excellent SB choices, especially damnation since I am obviously a little light on creatures (Sarcasm). Neither blue nor red are traditionally creature heavy so they might not hate me too much.
