[DECK] Worse than Fish

[Dominik]

Hey everyone,
I decided to make a WTF (U/G fish) similar to the one played by Jacob Orlove in one of the SCG tournaments. I'm having pretty good matchups against almost everything so far (Stax, Oath, FCG, etc are good- Welder is about 50%). I just wanted to know what everyone thinks of this and what I should play as the sideboard. Please remember that I will not be able to run power unless it's in a proxy tournament (as I don't have any).

// Lands
    4  Wasteland
    1  Strip Mine
    4  Mishra's Factory
    3  Island
    3  Tropical Island
    1  Polluted Delta
    4  Flooded Strand

// Creatures
    4  Basking Rootwalla
    4  Wild Mongrel
    4  Spiketail Hatchling
    3  Ninja of the Deep Hours
    3  Gaea's Skyfolk
    1  Darksteel Colossus

// Spells
    4  Chalice of the Void
    4  AEther Vial
    2  Umezawa's Jitte
    4  Force of Will
    1  Lotus Petal
    4  Standstill
    1  Tinker
    1  Mystical Tutor

// Sideboard ??? Please Help ??? (I just thought of it right now)

3 Arcane Laboratory
2 Blue Elemental Blast
3 Energy Flux
2 Hydroblast
3 Oxidize
2 Kira, Great Glass Spinner

Thanks for your help!

You have too few lands, suggest upping count to 23. Spiketails are bad, Lotus Petal is bad, Standstills and Ninjas are so-so in the deck, but if they wor for you, fine. I'd go -4 Spiketail, -1 Petal, +3 lands, +1 Skyfolk, +1 Rushing River which is amazing as you run Mystical. I might consider some Dazes instead of Standstills, you have very little disruption right now.

Arcane Lab is bad, I'd run Rootwater Thieves (propably main). About Kira I don't know, people are running Pyroclasm and kind of shit. Bue blasts are great OTOH. Adding a bit more green would let you run Seeds of Innosence which is superior to Energy Flux.

I just can't see how do you beat Oath. If you don't want to add white, you should side plenty of Naturalizes and Annuls. If you go for the white splash and Ray of Revelation, then you should run Meddling Mages MD as well. It only takes two Tundras, and it is great agains Oath and number of other decks.

Despite what everyone else on my team tells me, I have actually had a fair amount of success with Spiketail Hatchling. It dovetails well with Aether Vial and gives an evasion creature for Jitte. I've actually been running them instead of Skyfolk. (BTW, I made Top 8 at one of the Origins tournaments playing this deck... my loss in Swiss was against Steve Menendian playing Oath and my loss in Top 8 was to Rich Shay playing CS...)

I would suggest against Lotus Petal as it gives the opponent an artifact in your graveyard so Welder can start messing with your game plan.

Rootwater Thief is AMAZING here. I would probably run 3 in the Skyfolk slot.

I'm still not sure how I feel about Tinker/Colossus.

Here are the changes I would make:
-3 Skyfolk
-1 Petal
+1 Trop
+3 Rootwater Thief

If you want to get rid of Tinker/Colossus:
-1 Tinker
-1 Colossus
+2 Daze
