Just came across Norin the Wary, and I thought he'd be a fun card to build a casual deck around.  I know there's a lot of cards that I simply don't know about, so I figured I'd ask what you guys think would go good in this deck.

4 Birds of Paradise
4 Champion of the Parish
4 Norin the Wary
4 Champion of Lambholt
4 Mentor of the Meek
4 Juniper Order Ranger
4 Genesis Chamber
4 Chromatic Lantern
2 Akroma's Memorial
2 Doubling Season

Theory behind it is simply Norin bouncing back and forth, creating counters and tokens which would let me keep grabbing more cards via mentor.

I think that some flicker ability might go a long way in a game that drags on.  Having the ability to preserve your Peddler and attach it to one of your higher mana creatures in your later turns could definitely be a win more type of thing. Your mana curve seems pretty low so you may be able to remove a land and possibly the Elixir's.

As far as your sideboard goes, I would definitely go the counter spell route considering you have 11 sources of blue mana.  I wouldn't go overboard though.  Maybe an additional bomb or two as well for the matches against midrange decks.  Something like Minotaur Aggressor with Rancor? Just to abuse the First Strike Deathtouch. Or maybe even add a Kessig Wolf Run or two just to abuse it.

I'm thinking I might have to build a deck like this, but maybe ditch the blue.

I really like this idea.  I think the value of Niv makes it worth keeping him in there, especially considering the use of Izzet Straticaster.  I would leave black out unless you have a full suite of the dual lands.  Yes it would add another win condition, but you are removing one or two if you take out blue.  With the current list you can keep the board pretty clean by Timming their creatures with deathtouch.

What about some sort of Flicker type ability so that you can move your peddler around depending on board state?

What about adding a Conjurer's Closet or two?  You've got 16 creatures that ETB with a benefit.  Abusing that as much as possible is going to be helpful.  With Acidic Slime it's non-creature removal on a stick that occurs every turn.

Hey Sebi -

Just recently found the site, and it is great!  I have a question regarding the format for importing inventory with Deckbox 2.0.  Is the layout structure of the CSV file for importing final at this point? I figure I may not be the only one that is going to start editing my collection ahead of time.

Thanks and keep up the stellar work!
