to dasnake:
while i agree that land/mox/chalice(0) is generally a decent move if you know the opposing deck is powered, i don't think that chalice(1) on the first turn is at all.  with the build you posted, this eliminates 11 maindeck cards, not to mention all the wishable sideboard options.

in general
while i agree that chalice is good against almost every non-workshop deck, it's only good if you know what number to set it to.  if the field you're playing is unknown you might not be able to figure this out in time for it to be incredibly useful.  for the matches where it's badass, SB chalice should still be enough.  before long was neutered, it was such a threat that MD chalice was a good (or even necessary) option.  but now it's not as good, and against what some might say is one of the more difficult matchups for keeper (wmud) it's not really all that useful at all.

just my thoughts.  personally i like MD scepters, i find them fun and useful in an amazing number of situations.

Scpeters are very good in the WelderMud matchup, being a player of both WelderMud and Keeper, I know how much a Scpeter can do, usually the best options to put on a scepter is swords, fire/ice, drain, Impulse, artifact destruction(from side). I don't think draw spells are all that great for it because of Mind's Eye. Gorilla Shaman hurts WelderMud but not so much to Slaver.dec.

On another note Duplicant>Trisk.Solemn Simalcrum is the suck, if anyone doubts this read Thug(Koen)'s article for the reasoning, not to mention 2/2 for 4 mana isn't great, it's card advantage isn't more then that of Mind's Eye, and if we needed moutain searchers, use fetchies.

BreathWeapon, I think the MetalWorkers are good, however If you wanna dd something in there place, feel free.
