I know! :o That card is so great. You can bet that if it was in Standard it would go straight into this deck.

Haha. I actually included Titan's Strength in the original deck, but after looking through my cards and seeing that I didn't have any copies, I took it out. I honestly wouldn't know what to take out if I were to put it back in. The first thought is Spark Jolt, but after playing with it, I like Spark Jolt too much to take out for Titan's Strength.
I saw Ral Zarek and really liked him, but I wouldn't know what to get rid of. He also doesn't seem to be as synergestic as he could be with the cards, really only working with Sigiled Starfish well. He's a good card, but I'm not sure if I can see him in this deck. That's just me, though.
It's on purpose. =P
Initially I didn't use them because they were so expensive, so I didn't know when I'd be able to use them. However, I realized that I'm not trying to make a 'budget deck,' just one that works well, so I'll probably end up using them.
The tapping issue is what turns me off from Izzet Guildgate, as I can either draw both of the lands consistently or use one color to scry for the other. However, in the scryland's case, I'm happy to tap it if it means I get dual AND I get to scry 1.
Sigiled Skink? He always seemed too fragile for what I need him to do. Scrying either has to be immediate or consistent, and he doesn't seem to provide either due to his summoning sickness or his low toughness. However, I have never played with him, so if somebody could tell me I'm wrong because of their experiences, I'd have to rethink that. Right now, he would have great synergy with Aqueous Form, but I don't think that alone is worth his inclusion.
