I think that particular mana configuration works for you because you're better with the deck than I am. You know when to keep and when to mull, and when you mull, you know what to keep again. I'm still figuring that out.

I think that makes a huge difference in how the deck runs. For now, with my level of experience with it, I keep finding myself in situations where I don't have enough land in my opening hand or first mulligan to play the deck to a win.

You'll note I've gone to 15 land(!), a Mox Diamond, and a Chrome Mox. I LOVE the Diamond. So far in test runs I am not forced to mulligan, and I'm seeing turn 2 kills regularly. I'll test it tonight at the tournament. Hopefully we'll have 5 rounds so I can give a good accounting. We never cut to top 8 (which is horrible because the top two always split and ruin everyone else's changes of winning).
