    1 Conflagrate

    I chose to go with Conflagrate MD because very few decks actually pack gy hate MD... and you can always bring in Lightning Storm from the SB if needed. I just don't think wasting an additional slot MD for another win condition is worth it. However, MD Lightning Storm could possibly be better than MD Conflagrate... I have no clue.

    So... why the black splash? I feel that black lends alot of strength to the deck. Maindeck, the 8 discard spells in addition to the CounterTop and FoW package is just extremely strong. Not only that, Lim-Dul's Vault is amazing... not only is it capable of digging for both Swan and/or CoP, it also works extremely well with an active Counterbalance (and, of course, it pitches to FoW).

    I don't think the deck really needs to pack burn outside of CoP... there's not very much it is going to do as removal in this Goyf heavy meta and the deck doesn't need to use it as reach either. The only time I see it as valuable is after you drop Swan, where I do admit it is extremely strong. However, I doubt I'd be dropping Swan until I had access to CoP anyway.

    I also don't like the Chrome Mox + SSG idea. I suppose that if I wanted to race the opponent, those could quicken the goldfish. However, I prefer the slower controllish route where I'm just controlling the stack the whole time until I'm able to go off. Most of the time, I'd drop Swan and pass the turn and then cast Chain + Conflagrate on the following turn. The heavy discard lets me know when I can and can't drop Swan while CounterTop allows me to drop Swan and keep it protected regardless.

    I'm still debating about whether or not I want to fit in MD creature removal or not (like Shriekmaw, Damnation, etc).

    As far as the sideboard goes, I have no clue. Cards like Extirpate and Dark Confidant sound like good candidates, while Tombstalker and Damnation seem like interesting options vs aggro/control. Shattering Spree, bounce, etc all sound good as well.
