Duergar Hedge-Mage
World Queller
Baneslayer Angel
Realm Razor

These all seem like possible additions. I know from experience that realm razor is an absolute house vs. most decks. There is no feeling as great as dropping realm razor on a tapped out fae player =P. Watching the look on their face as they scoop is priceless.

Some interesting things came up here, but for my testing today i will move all silverbullets that look horrible on your starthand to the sideboard(i love you caldera but i can find you in g2 and 3).

Realmreazer sounds like a great idea but against control its alot harder to get up to 9 mana/creatures if you dont have lotus cobra.

I play quasali over duegar because i like it more.

Baneslayer seems a little expensive i think i would prefer hierarch in the spot, also because it at least gives you 4 life against pte.

Worldqueller seems to slow.

I Like horoki dusk drinker, seems like a fine addition and it also isnt horrible if you have it on your starthand.

Thanks for the replies.

Some more testing and horoki is out again and i put the razer in, it seems a bit slow but its so gamechanging. And well i did break the rule and play 1 razer now main(it looks ugly on the starthand), but well 1 card that doesnt look okay seems to be fine.

I tried to take the deck now into a new direction thanks to flippis advice.
The new version is again little tested(although i have to say i did pretty well with the version before). I just think the new version is more streamlined and has better synergies.

First of i wanted to make more use out of exalted, because it plays realy well with chord. Then i wanted to be more focused like my flippi told me, so out the aggresive one drops in came more midrange cards. Since i couldnt play too many "mana elves" i wanted something else on turn 1 treetop came in. Then red just became a splash. Basicly a GWr Solution deck, with less 1ofs, more like bant, but not realy. I kept Realm Razer because i had realy good results with him.

After i decided that i dont need red as a real color(more a splash) i decided that some mutavaults would fit in there quite well too.

I know its a huge change, i would love to hear what you think is better this or the old version. And of course suggestions for this list are wellcome too.

Have you thought about a vexing shusher or cloudthresher in the board? And how about any sorts of wrath effects, it seems like engineered explosives would be solid in this list.

why would you run 2 marsh flats over 4 arid mesa? the one time your going to have them in your opening hand and need a stomping ground your going to feel like an idiot
