Add 1x Riptide Laboratory to the main, somehow.
Cut the number of Dual lands, so you don't start the game at 12.
Add 1x Aether Spellbomb to the main for tempo gains against doran style decks.
Remove Extirpate from the board, it's not as good against Dredge as it looks. Play Leyline (you have counterspells for chain) and replace duress with Thoughtseize. Cut Spell snare for Maindeck Threads or shackles, depending on your meta, as your deck wants to play threats on it's own turn early before relying on counter/top late game. Make more 4x, and less 3xs.

might just be my opinion but i think spell snare rocks a lot of decks, especially a counterspell to which they cant play their own spell snare back at urs, but as far as Rewinds comment on the infiltrator, yea he is amazing, but what to take out, the only thing i would want to take out would be the trinket mages, which would then lead to taking out the counterbalance top thing, which would give me room to maindeck threads/shackles if need be...riptide is a must i just forgot about that random onslaught land that actually does something in this deck lol

The Fink!!

*bows*

edit: i really feel the white could be taken out of this deck. but at the same time, it takes out the meddling mage and a 3-kill for E.E. and also a big player vindicate

Trinket Mage fetches more than just SDT, but he ain't necessary for the "combo", he just makes it a lot more consistent. Besdies, he happens to be a wizard.

You can get a Zur's Weirding stlye lock with Tefri and Maralen of the Mornsong. Just keep tutoring for wizards and beat for small amounts of damage for the win. Jitte would be a huge player in the damage race. Also card advantage would also be very big for the deck.

Mirror entity is a beating in this deck.
