I have tried some version of it on Xmage before listing this, but I'm still unsure on some cards:
Deathrite Shaman is a powerful card, and even with the absence of fetch it can be quite useful in this deck. But during my games I noticed that:
- Having a low curve and not so many lands I found myself rarely discarding any of them before the late game, when the manadork ability is not really useful
- Not running green lands leaves DRS use only in dealing 2 damage during mid- and late-game.
I'm wondering if it would be better to cut it out and using something more aggro like Flameblade Adept or something else.
Tasigur, the Golden Fang or Gurmag Angler? I cannot use tasigur ability without changing the manabase just for it, but I wonder if the 1 more power of Angler is worth the 1 CMC more.
Having a lot of artifacts I was thinking of running Shrapnel Blast, but I'm unsure if it would be better than any non-creature spell I'm altready running.
I could try Regisaur instead of the Lupine Prototype, but I'm not sure about Alms for the Vein, I prefer Fiery Temper as it can it any target.

I like Lupine Prototype in this deck, but I wonder if something like Oliva, Mobilized for War would be more impactful than a 5/5 vanilla.

Is anyone out there trying something similar?
