    IMO, you could use more control. This deck is going to be slow, so you need to keep the field clear and prevent your opponent from messing with your Reactor. Starstorm does the former, but what do you have for the latter? Rune Snag is the only spell you have to counter with. IMO, drop a Fabricates for more counters, maybe Miscalculation or something (Semi-Snag with cycling), or just a few Fabricates and something else.

    I've always wanted to build a deck around this just for casual purposes, but I never made the time...

    If I put any other counterspell it would probably be Complicate, partially cause the picture is so cool. Not really sure how they are gonna mess with an indestructible artifact. I think I have another idea of how to make this be faster and not sacrifice much. I forgot I wanted to add Clockspinning.

    2x Shivan Reef
    4x Seat of the Synod
    4x Great Furnace
    4x Urza's Mine
    4x Urza's Tower
    4x Urza's Power Plant

    Creatures-6
    2x Platinum Angel
    4x Coretapper

    Spells-32
    2x Fabricate
    2x Complicate
    4x Izzet Signet
    4x Darksteel Reactor
    4x Energy Chamber
    4x Remand
    4x Clockspinning
    4x Dismantle
    4x Starstorm

    This way its faster and I still have some draw.

    Paradox Haze seems like a must add.

    Gilder Bairn + Paradise Mantle?

    Umbral Mantel + Coretapper?

    I was thinking of making a deck like this too...

    Used to run a deck like this, I would power out a Ward of Bones from Lorwyn and lockdown the board of enchanments and creatures, use Dismantle to double my counters on Reactor. Use Magistrate's Scepter to combo out and take infinite turns when combined with Coretappers and Energy Chambers.

    Elfy, you could take out Signets for Paradox Hazes to speed things up further...TfK also seems like a must, just because it nets you three more cards for 3 mana.

    Paradox haze is definitely needed. Only reason Platinum Angel is as an stall/alternate win condition if I make it big enough. I still need some Izzet Signets because I don't have many blue/red sources (plus its one of the three cards I actually have for this deck). I don't know what to take out for Thirst for Knowledge. D:

    Well, something else this deck could probably use is Propaganda. It's a great staller, and it messes with your opponent a bit while you can just keep going on and on adding counters to the reactor.

    Ya know, I'm thinking about making an enchantment U/R/G deck with Haze, Braid of Fire, and Helix Pinnacle...
