This is just a concept i have been working on. The deck focuses on making you draw cards and having your opponent lose life, like with Niv-Mizzet or the Psychosis Crawlers.
Just draw, draw, draw! The more you draw the more life your opponent(s) lose, due to Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, or the Psychosis Crawlers. Use Curiosity and Quicksilver Dagger to draw more cards. Put both on the same creature to Tap that creature, deal one damage to target player and draw a card, causing each opponent to lose life. Put Curiosity on Niv-Mizzet, The Firemind for an unlimited 1 damage/draw a card combo. Also, you will have a very large hand size because of all the draw. That is what the Reliquary Towers are for. Unlimited hand size and lots of draw paired with Sturmgeist and Psychosis Crawler, means that the those cards will have very high Power/Toughness.

You can sort of overcome your problem with fast decks using, say, Pyroclasm or something like that. At least in the sideboard. Blue Sun Zenith is a little too expensive right now, and doesn't work well with non-monoblue decks. You could consider replacing it with Stroke of Genius if you're soo adamant about using the X factor. And don't bother gaining life. Spellbook will work out much better than Venser's Journal.

I can see Pyroclasm being a big help against fast decks, so I will put it into the sideboard. I have Blue Sun's Zenith because it shuffles back into the library, and the silver Myrs help with casting it.. The only reason I had Venser's Journal was for the unlimited hand size, the life gain was nice, but I think Spellbook will work just fine. Thank you for your input.
I have found that I prefer Reliquary Tower, I am going to use those instead.
