Wow, it's amazing what typing a pool can do for your senses. I realize now I got pulled into red by the Incendiary command and convinced myself I couldn't play the Mistbind Clique due to lack of faeries. I should have played all the black faeries, the Clique, the trickery and the blue changeling. If I needed to splash, I could have done 1 Lash Out, but I am not sure it would even be necessary. I obviously would if I had a Dreamspoiler but I don't so...oh well. What do you guys think? I feel like the green is powerful but not synergistic.

Mayhpas I miscounted, but I see 12 creatures with only one board sweeper. Your pool is as spread out as mine. I may have forced white red for Giants Elementals Kithkin, as that is the only way to get to 17 Creatures and have Synergies (granted there may be a U or B splash for bombs, but that's about as far as I go). No Fixing kills the pool.
I might have played this list.

Oh, in other news...I won a black lotus this weekend.
Fugie. No you did not miscount. I confess I wasn't all that happy when I saw the pool. The guy that opened it was right across from me and he was convinced it was terrible. Maybe I should be happy I was able to 4/4 with it. I still think this would be a more useful list.

That's 16 creatures and a more stable manabase.
Oh and congrats Jamison. Though this does make it even less likely Gush will get rerestricted. But maybe I am convinced that's a good thing now.
