The sb isn't done but has all of the wishboard lands already I think.

4 Undercity Informer
3 Balustrade Spy
4 Living Wish
4 Narcomoeba
1 Dread Return
1 Sutured Ghoul
1 Dragon Breath
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Elvish Spirit Guide
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Mox Opal
4 Lotus Petal
4 Chrome Mox
4 Lion's Eye Diamond
1 Grim Monolith
4 Ęther Vial
4 Dark Ritual
4 Summoner's Pact
1 Wild Cantor

//Sideboard
1 Swamp
1 Peat Bog
1 Hickory Woodlot
1 Cavern of Souls
1 Vault of Whispers
1 Darksteel Citadel
1 City of Traitors
1 Balustrade Spy
1 Desecration Demon
1 Angel of Glory's Rise
1 Fiend Hunter
4 Leyline of Sanctity

Edit: Informer should probably be in the sb to take advantage of vial. That means I'll probably have to cut grim monolith to make room for bridge as well.

Edit 2: Forget desecration demon/thrun when we can vial in phyrexian revoker and harmonic sliver from the wishboard!!!

Edit 3: Vial also alleviates the problem of having multiple narcs stuck in hand.
I think you're trolling with Aether Vial

Is Mox Opal and Grim Monolith a better acceleration package than Chancellor of the Tangle and Cabal Ritual, because gold fishing aside I think you'd be unable to SB out Lion's Eye Diamond for Pact of Negation and that's kind of a big deal? Have you tried the "main list" by removing Simian Spirit Guide and Cabal Ritual for Mox Opal and Grim Monolith? They're essentially the two worst mana sources for being 1B and generating R and you need about 20 artifacts in order to guarantee Metalcraft I think.

I don't think it works the moment you have to go to game 2 or opponent's just start countering your 3rd artifact, but it's definitely a novelty.

I still have no idea what you should replace Bridge with, I've flipped between a 2nd Wild Cantor and a Grim Monolith.
