well  there you have it  if you could help me in any way i would greatly appreciate it sooooo much  b/c  i dont know if you know what it feels like to have such good cards but not being able to win  it pretty much sucks lol.  but yeah  the whole point i was going for was an army of flankers with removal spells for those troublesome creatures  exp. Blazing Archon    so like i said  i would greatly appreciate it if i could get ur help  thank you.  If you dont post and still want to give me feed back my name is Tom  and my email is tom18038@aol.com    thank you and have fun doing what you do best

 

P.S.  i would like to keep Akroma  she is just so awesome   and the fact that YOU ROCK

First, there's your lands.  The whole purpose of Flagstones of Trokair is that you can play two, the Legend rule will kill them, and you get to so search for two Plains.  They're best in a deck with a lot of Ravnica duals, but in your case they act as land searchers that you don't spend any mana on, so you can thin your deck easily.  If you only play one, you're defeating the purpose.  Get four.  And drop Calciform Pools; I know you could theoretically get Akroma out faster with it, but every charge counter requires "1, Tap:", so you're spending a lot of mana over several turns.  In a deck with so many small creatures, you're hurting yourself with this land.  Or you're just not getting Akroma out any faster.
