Thanks for posting my list, it's a lot of fun to play and it's stronger than I had expected.
It can indeed tap Emrakul, but I'm currently off Trickster. It was good, but I needed more cards to flip Delver, so I'm on
Vapor Snag now.
I started out with more 1-drops, with Stormtamer being one of the candidates, alongside
Mausoleum Wanderer, but I found my earlier builds to be a bit too creature-heavy. However, including more 1-drops that interact with the opponent is definitely a solid plan.
Oooh, definitely a fun card to try out! I do think it weakens the deck against Plow decks, since they usually have mana to spare, but it's worth a shot.
It's definitely a risky card, but it's run away with so many games for me by now. Play it safe when you can and sometimes it's better to wait for
True-Name Nemesis to hit the board. And, sometimes you just have to risk it ;). I'm currently trying
Peek and so far it's been great, knowing what your opponent has is gas.
Trickster can indeed swing the entire game around when timed accurately.
I've dabbled with a one-off
Psionic Blast and it was pretty good, I got to kill the opponent with it in 2 games across 1 league. Thalia is my main reason for not going for Blast permanently.

Vapor Snag has been better than Trickster for the aformentioned reason and I'm on one fewer
Curious Obsession for the hit-or-miss reason mentioned by Frustanani.
I'm considering an extra
Flusterstorm, it's extremely good at protecting our 1-drops.

Reanimate, netting me my own
