Isn't this just a really bad ichorid deck? it folds to all the same hate, +counters, + creature kill and it has worse game vs tormod's crypt. and you can't run serum powder the only advantage I see is that it can run force of will, but ichorid can run unmask. Also isn't pact of negation about the worst play ever in this deck? you use it to force down a creature or protect a creature from removal while it has summoning sickness, then you go to your upkeep and lose cus you can't pay the pact before you get a chance to return flame-kin for the win. I can't imagine a situation where you'd cast pact of negation in this deck and not just lose the game on the spot. like you'd pass the turn, your opponent would go "draw, land, go" and you'd lose or your opponent would go, "ok, pact resolves, your druid lives, go" and you'd lose. You don't care if someone counters dread return cus you still have 12 2/2's and 2 1/1's in play and you can just cast another one anyway, you can therapy them a coupple times anyway for 4 more tokens each time...I just don't understand.
also, why play this over bazaars, powders, dredge creatures and ichorids?
