Help with stax

[Millnoc]

This is my u/r stax build taken from 1-29-05.  It was piloted by Ralf Meyer.

 Trinistax (U/R)

1st place, 2005-01-29 Wittlich

1 Black Lotus
3 Crucible of Worlds
1 Duplicant
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mana Vault
1 Memory Jar
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
4 Smokestack
1 Sol Ring
1 Sundering Titan
4 Tangle Wire
4 Trinisphere
1 Triskelion
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Mystical Tutor
3 Thirst for Knowledge
1 Time Walk
1 Timetwister
1 Tinker
4 Goblin Welder
1 Wheel of Fortune
2 Ancient Tomb
2 Island
4 Mishra's Workshop
2 Polluted Delta
1 Strip Mine
1 Tolarian Academy
4 Volcanic Island
4 Wasteland

Sideboard
2 Blood Moon
1 Blue Elemental Blast
4 Chalice of the Void
1 Pyroblast
2 Rack and Ruin
2 Red Elemental Blast
2 Triskelion
1 Viashino Heretic

It seems a bit unorthodox, however, with only 3 thirst for knowledge.  As someone who has never played stax before, i see only 5 win conditions:
Duplicant
Sundering Titan
Trike
Tinker
Mystical tutor to fetch tinker.

It seems like the deck is a bit threat light, and of course some locks the deck puts on are only temporary (tangle wire without welder etc).

I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, tech, or insights for a new stax player.

Thanks

Well for one, 3sphere was restricted..you will not have much time before the restriction is enforced But Stax already found a replacement, Sphere of Resistence.

I hear Darksteel Collossus and Tinker are good in sinct with each other

As for win condition, I mean you have crucible lock which will let you do whatever you want for the most part. Also Smokestack just rapes their board..then you sac it to itself and you should have plenty of resources to win. BTW WHERE IS PENTAVUS???

Yep, you do need help with stax.

Why don't you check out Kevin Cron's Stax list from SCG Syracuse?

Please read the rules. threads that consist of just a decklist are unacceptably low on content, and get closed.
