Notes
 
Ok.  So here's my attempt at a fun theme deck that revolves around a strange little character: Bazaar Trader.

He gets rid of things.  Plain and simple.  Well since he seems to trade away good cards for nothing in return, why not pawn off all the things I don't really want?

Trade away an immortal coil, then lay down a bojuka bog...win.

Beat them down with a nasty Persecutor then when they are down to nil, trade him away (or fling him for that matter).

Attack in with that beautiful Bombshell, then trade her too!

Better yet, use Mutiny or treason to take their creatures, then trade them to yourself permanently. 

All based on a tiny little goblin.  Good thing those Swiftfoot Boots allow him to start trading right away and protect him from your opponents removal.

The side board I built was to deal with decks that don't rely on creatures or are heavy into the counter spells.  This allows me to dig up my trader if they meet an unfortunate end, force you to discard needed spells, or simply burn you to death.

This seems like a lot of fun to me and I can't wait to try it out.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as this is a trial run deck.

    I tend to think your big weakness is getting your Trader out.  The Persecutor will be nasty whenever you play it, but some of your other cards will just sit in your hand while you wait for a Trader to show up.  Have you thought about some Tutors in here?  Diabolic Tutor is a bit pricey in my opinion, but Rhystic Tutor can be just as useful in the right situation.  Or some of the other nasty black search cards.  Desperate Research is a favorite of mine (and very cheap) while Insidious Dreams is more powerful, and will keep your graveyard healthy for when you have an Immortal Coil in your hand.  Shred Memory is great for graveyard destruction, and it transmutes for 2, letting you search and pull a Trader or Boots (or even a Fling), depending on what you need.
