I thought about posting in that thread, but I felt like my deck was more budget since I couldn't get some of the more powerful cards needed (like Snapcasters and Phantasmal Images), as well as dual lands. So I decided it fit more here, but I would like a 2nd opinion on it.
For the sideboard I was thinking of using cards like Ancient Grudge, Flash Freeze, and Nihil Spellbombs, and I was considering using Forbidden Alchemy in this deck, but I was wondering what I should do about the off color flash back costs for some of those cards. I was thinking of using Shimmering Grotto as a sort of poor man's Hinterland Harbor/Rootbound Crag and Dragonskull Summit/Drowned Catacombs, but not sure if it's worth it or not. I can't run Snapcaster Mage (as I don't have the money to afford a play set of him and can't really trade for him), so he's out of the question.
you'll need sweepers too even though you can't get snappy's you'll need something like slagstorm or more roiling tembor. this is a really good archtype I've played it for a while another sugestion is to use negate as well as dissapate or instead because sometimes using double blue 3cc spell is harder then using a mono blue 2cc spell.
@ OP: Slagstorm isn't that pricy, it has been irreplaceable for me. You may want to include a couple of forbidden alchemy, it dumps more flashback for you and gets you to what you need. While I rarely advise against dissipate, you may want to make it a combination of dissipate and negate since you aren't running 4 duals, and of course look to trade for sulfur falls at your locals. Also, maybe up your land count by 1 or 2, you aren't putting out any early threats so missing a land drop can really hurt.
