This is a really cool deck, and is very fun to play. Bazaar of Baghdad is the main engine of the deck, but it can function for quite a while without one. You basically want to just get the Bazaar up with Squee, Goblin Nabob or Life from the Loam. In order to do that, you use removal and countermagic to get the opponent under your thumb.

The deck can play the mana-denial game really well as well. Ancient Grudge and recurring Strip Mine/Wasteland make this work. Barbarian Ring can be an alternate wincondition paired with Life from the Loam as well, should your other cards not get you there.

This deck looks like a blast to play! Have you tested much with it? I'm curious to know more about how the matchups play out versus the standard heavy hitters of the format. Is having only 3 Strip effects reliable for the mana denial plan? How often does that come up?
