'Old Faithful' Update

So after trying out my 'Old Faithful' deck in several best of 3 matches, I can say that it doesn't seem to have lost any of its power over the years. I lost a few individual games, but for the most part, it seems to be fairly brutal in it's effectiveness.

I realized that my original post didn't have any details about the sideboard, so here it is:

2x Akroma, Angel of Wrath
2x Weathered Wayfarer
3x Damping Matrix
3x Isochron Scepter
3x Sacred Ground
2x Story Circle

I think I might make a few tweaks, given that the Gilded Lotus is a great card, but a bit expensive to behave as mana acceleration. Nothing in my deck costs more than 5 mana, so a mana accelerator that costs 5 mana to put in play is a bit silly. I think that I might replace the Lotuses with Damping Matrixes to enhance the control capabilities of the deck. If I do that, I will add more creatures to the Sideboard, I am thinking about Mawcors because they are flyers that have direct damage capabilities.

I'll test that configuration and update.
