TITI Twister - Breaking "Thing In The Ice"

[klaus]

So folks seem hyped about this fella:



Over here: http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/s...-Horror-Tribal Mr. guillemnicolau started a Tribal approach.
While I appreciate his effort going "let's squeeze him into that very archetype", I believe it's too early to limit us to a certain shell at this point in time - which is where this thread comes in, so how about a collective..
?

Let's discuss pros and cons of certain color combinations, mandatory spells, no-gos, etc. etc..
Feel free to also just unload lists with odd card choices, but make sure to justify them.

Here's my current approach:

4 TITI (core)
4 SCM (core)
4 Delver (draws removal like a pro, applies early pressure + is easily replayed when TITI-bounced)
3 YP (draws removal like a pro, neatly fits the shell, secondary wincon, TITI VS. tokens dyssynergy is outweighed by YP's power level)

4 FoW (core)
2 Daze (more free spells to boost TITI)
2 Pierce (not sure about this guy - could be Snare too)

4 BS (core)
3 Ponder (could be 4, but I'd actually rather squeeze in more burn)
4 Gitaxian Probe (core)


4 Bolt (core, when splashing red)
2 Lava Dart (TITI loves flashback spells)

4 Scalding Tarn
3 Flooded Strand
2 Arid Mesa
4 Volc
2 Island
1 Mountain
2 Wasteland
(-18-)

SB (under construction)
3 Flusterstorm
2 Pyroblast
3 Smash to Smithereens
3 Vapor Snag
2 Surgical Extraction
1 Bloodmoon
2 non-creature wincons --------------- (Jace / XYZ / suggestions?)

Edit: Phyrexian Revoker & Spellskite happen to be Horrors - haha. While Spellskite's powerlevel is kinda meh, PR could actually be a SB or even MD choice.
Edit 2: How about a UB TITI+Hexmage+Marit Lage approach ^_^
Edit 3: High5s for everyone (being old enough to) getting the deck name's reference.
