I'm not much of a fan of Deep Analysis, but I can see running it as a singleton if you feel like you're never hitting the draw-engine cards you need. The trouble with Analysis is that it's virtually impossible to cast from our hand and it's unlikely we'll have the mana to flash it back without using LED.

Still not sold on Amalgam. I'm glad to hear people have been using it successfully, though, and I agree that it might be a useful card for getting around Extraction effects. Its ability is free, too, which is good. Still, it feels like the worst recursive creature we have because it's dependent on other recursive creatures to come back. I'm interested to hear more if anyone does further testing.

Regarding PImp versus Street Wraith versus Amalgam versus whatever else, I've come to feel like Wraith is a really important addition to the deck—if not because of its power, because it can help us get around Chalices and Thorns. I've pretty much broken even with Eldrazi (even with Scion tokens) by siding out Careful Study and some singletons for a third Wraith, one or two Rays of Revelation, a Dread Return, and some extra reanimation targets. Blazing Archon is rock-steady, especially with Ashen Rider backup. Might not be necessary with Elesh Norn around, though.
