I tinkered with a brew like this last year, but I played 4 filigree familiars to max out my ancient stirrings targets and didn’t play white, going instead for red so I could sling some bolts too. It was rough and prone to drawing too much mana, but when it ran smoothly it was unstoppable. Regularly playing T2 TKS or T3 Smasher is insane.

This list looks a lot better. I’d probably cut dismember, geist, finks, and tusk for 4 filigree familiars to see if upping the stirrings targets is still worth it. I’m curious to see how often this deck needs that 2nd G with that mana base.

I know someone at my LGS who plays this deck, but he jammed in the archangel of thune/spike feeder combo. Seems like the perfect shell to do that, card like eldritch evolution, much like chord of calling, love to possibility of just comboing off.

He also plays deadeye harpooner. The card is better than it looks on paper, and is obviously awesome with displacer.

Not too sure Dismember is where you want to be right now, in the current Death’s-Shadow-heavy meta. I’d be inclined to main a Blessed Alliance instead, with a second in the side as well.

Nor would I run two Relics AND three RiP’s, though maybe that was a meta call for the specific event? Seems overly grave-hate heavy. Heavy on the artifact hate too, for that matter.

Voice of resurgence is such a good card that I want to run it, manabase be damned.
T1 ancient stirrings
T2 voice
T3 eldritch evolution->TKS is a crazy hand
