As a member of the primer committee, I can tell you that the 'best' list isn't always what people want nor what you are required to focus on. The primer's focus is up to the author's choice and if you don't enjoy it, well you can submit your own primer to us.

Madcap Experiment

Sorcery
Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal an artifact card. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. Madcap Experiment deals damage to you equal to the number of cards revealed this way.
I think the key will be artifacts that reduce his clock while also adding forms of evasion. Swords of X and Y for example decrease his clock, give additional effects, as well as provide good evasion sources for us.
Fair enough. I also am looking at making the aggro creature version closer to affinity if I can which may help but it means I have to cut the Havengul Lich combo as Heartless Summoning kills most of the affinity beaters
I was just messing around with a couple card ideas. What are your guy's thoughts on Batterskull? Its reusable, can become really fun with Possibility storm and Infinite mana and its a mini-wurmcoil...
other hidden gems for aggro: Arcbound Crusher: the trample and Modular is freaking ridiculous. However you need to chain a few spells beforee he gets truley nuts. He also combos quite hard with the other hidden allstar Painsmith especially with Possibility storm out. My last game with both all 3 out I ended up with landing a mox diamond storming into Sword of Feast and Famine and an equipping it and a dimir signet into a cranial plating
I went from a 1/1 Trampling Arcbound Crusher to a 32/20 trampling death touch crusher... It was a tad nuts...
Sandstone Oracle: I love this card in almost every build of Mishra as its cheap, a decent size beater with a sword or Plating and refills out hand to boot.
Yep i had it in there for a while. I still probably should run it and Necrotic ooze. But honestly if you take anything away from my list let it be Painsmith. This chick basically changes our army of I-robots into Terminators
If you want I can type something up on a more Aggro version of the deck if you'd like. Im also working with a combo part to the deck at the moment with Havengul Lich + Heartless Summoning + Priest of Gix or priest of urabrask + Perilous myr It works well for both storm Mishra and also aggro mishra as it forces bodies on the floor.

Cranial Plating is key to winning in my experience with Voltron. However Hunger of the Nim does a lot of work too!
