There are a ton of better spells than Shock nowadays. Those are: *Burst Lightning *Forked Bolt *Firebolt ...If you still want 1 mana - 2 damage, that is. You may want: *Lava Spike *Chain Lightning Also, Lava Axe is not all that great - sure, it's 5 damage in a card, but Flame Rift is better. Also, consider getting Bonfire of the Damned instead of Fireball - or, at least, Demonfire or Kaervek's Torch. Geistflame is... just bad. Get rid of it. Also, on how to get more mana: Get one more Seething Song and the following cards: *Desperate Ritual *Rite of Flame

I love this archetype. Mycosynth Lattice is one of my favourite cards and the fact that your Control becomes Aggro later is just amazing. Now, I think it'd be just fine if you added more draws instead of scries, but that's just me. This is the best deck of this archetype I've seen so far.
Magma Jet is a great card and I think you could consider having it.
I once made a deck based on Shadows and maybe I have some commentary on this deck: *It needs more creatures. Korlash can't handle everything alone, great as it is. It doesn't have any combat ability, being just a big guy breaking everything on the battlefield. But you can only have one of them at a time, so it's really dangerous. Nantuko Shade is up for the task. Nirkana Revenant, too, maybe? *Bubbling Muck and Cabal Coffers, along with Urborg, destroy everything. You generate mana like crazy and, maybe, more mana output makes for less Swamps (i.e.: not needing Wanderer's Twig). *Drain Life is, against all odds, safer than an Aura.
An interesting, underexplored concept. However, note that this is mostly an anti-Legends deck (and, even then, you're not using Tsabo Tavoc). You do have Konda's Hatamoto, but don't have a Samurai Legend. Well, don't expect Empress Galina to do all the job. There are A LOT of legends out there and they are really fun to play with - but get your strategy a little more fixed.
I don't really see why it needs 25 Plains - but, otherwise, creative and fun deck.
