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.
Updated list (not including the Peek test):
Land (18)
3 Flooded Strand
6 Island
2 Misty Rainforest
3 Polluted Delta
4 Wasteland
Creature (12)
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Pteramander
4 True-Name Nemesis
Sorcery (4)
4 Ponder
Instant (23)
4 Brainstorm
4 Daze
1 Flusterstorm
4 Force of Will
4 Spell Pierce
4 Stifle
2 Vapor Snag
Enchantment (3)
3 Curious Obsession
Sideboard (15)
2 Back to Basics
1 Commandeer
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Ensnare
2 Faerie Macabre
2 Grafdigger's Cage
1 Pithing Needle
2 Ratchet Bomb
1 Venser, Shaper Savant
2 Winter Orb
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.
Play of the week: casting Commandeer on Reanimate, netting me my own Griselbrand
