So i might suggest putting in some number of brainstorm to pop your emrakul back on top of the library for shelldock isle. I'm also wondering if you should be splashing red instead for a haste effect. surge of zeal/burst of speed perhaps + haze of rage?
One other interesting strategy you could go for is to go chalice of the void for 1, remove the spell pierces, go for the thrumming stone + persistent petitioners, and haste-kill your opponent. against many blue decks, burn, and probably like 50-70% of the field, a chalice on 1 basically gives you 3-4 free turns to set up your plan. you have very few 1cmc cards, so you could even just drop those, and go more all-in on your combo. In that case, i'd ignore my previous idea about brainstorm, and add in impulse and/or accumulated knowledge. You might be able to go slightly more all-in by chucking in chrome mox and upping your sol-land-count.
i'm not sure if thrumming stone ups your storm count actually, because if so, you might be able to brain freeze or something.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something with your splash black plan though, so take that as it is.
So in summing up (i might actually do a brew like this too), you have sort of 2 general paths:
- "combo" - higher petitioner count, more artifact 0-cmc mana ramping, splash red instead for haste enablers.
- "stompy" - chalice, back to basics, stall out the game to set up your thrumming stone, then combo out with haste enabler or not. in this version, you can't use brainstorms or preordains or ponders; i'd go with impulse and maybe teferi's response, predict and stuff like that.
but yea i think you've got something funny here. funny as in fun to play and watch, and it might catch enough people off-guard to pull a win off here and there.
