I would never play less than 3 maindeck, which I think is the right number. It has definitely won me some games tapping out some lands on the critic turn not to speak of tapping Tarmogoyfs all day long. Also, it is a good answer versus Maze of Ith (the only one if you went t1 chalice for 1 blindly and your opp is playing lands.dec)
I've tested a lot lately and at first I really didn't like Pestermite but it has performed very well. When you are racing an opponent, with creatures on the board, there have been many situations where you can play Pestermite to uptap Sea Drake or Efreet in order to block and kill one of their creatures. Your opponent might expect you to tap one of their creatures but its easier to overlook the untap effect.

On the other hand, I will be axiously awaiting a set with a stronger 2U flier. With the rate power creep is happening nowadays I doubt we'll have to wait very long.

Edit: Remember, if your creature is equip with SoFI, don't try to uptap it with Pestermite (because of Pro Blue.) Chances are, you're probably winning anyways.
