Your mana base seems awful... not that I'm a fan of the 4c version anyway but without primal beyond prismatic lens etc you might be in trouble. Oh, and the deck NEEDS mana artifacts as obviously one of the main aims of the deck is to hit the 5 mana mark so it can cast lark ASAP.

I definately think that you are missing a few important cards, and are playing too many of others. 4 Blink is too many, you want 2-3. Also, -1 Wrath, because you don't really want or need to draw multiples to win. and also - 1 land, so you have 4 slots open now to play 4 mind stone or prismatic lens. also, - ancient amphitheatre and forge for Primal Beyond, because all but 4 of your creatures are elementals. Finally, you only need 2 Body Doubles, and 3 riftwatchers, and only 1 venser is needed, too, cuz you would rather play Riftwing Cloudskate. whispermare seems terrible as well, since any problem enchantments can be bounced. that can be used for the 4th flamekin harbinger.

ACtually you need the wispmares to tutor for vs bitterblossom early on

i guess, like, if you run careful consideration you only need two, cuz it's usually better for you to put it in the graveyard early anyway as a target for your reveilark. But without that i suppose you want more. the problem w/ whispermare is, by the time you get it and play it, they already have at least 1 guy, and only one is in the md, and it is a dead card vs. a lot of decks. Unless faeries/rogues becomes 85% of the meta, i don't see the point of playing a whispermare in the main. The sb is not very good, though, either. Negate seems awful against everyone. Dragons Claw is really narrow. Porphyry Nodes or Crovax should definately be in the board. Crovax is such a beast vs. the Bitterblossom decks.

i dont see why you changed the list lsv posted so much it is rly good it looks clunky but once u play it you realize everything is in there for a reason, careful consideration is rly bad you dont want a lot of 2 blue casting costs stuff, the lsv list is rly good please play decks you copy before you change anything in the deck
