Please Help with G/W Flicker/ Blink

[GareBear]

I am going to give humans a rest for a little bit, try this out before I try out a Boros Humans build. I have always been a sucker for the Flicker mechanic, and I want to give it a shot. This is the deck list I have so far:

G/W Blink v1.8
By: GareBear
Type II
Archive: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1037018

Main Deck:
3 Avacyn's Pilgrim
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Blade Splicer
3 Elvish Visionary
2 Garruk Relentless
4 Restoration Angel
2 Silverblade Paladin
2 Solemn Simulacrum
2 Thragtusk
1 Wolfir Silverheart

3 Cloudshift
3 Rancor
4 Terminus

3 Cavern of Souls
4 Evolving Wilds
4 Forest
2 Gavony Township
2 Plains
4 Razorverge Thicket
4 Sunpetal Grove

Sideboard:
2 Acidic Slime
4 Beast Within
2 Crushing Vines
3 Grafdigger's Cage
4 Oblivion Ring

I am already thinking about playing 4x Strangeroot Geist instead of the visionary's and 1 Blade Splicer.

If you are wondering why I am playing a certain card, or have an idea for a better one, please let me know. I am not sure how this deck will work out. It feels like it could be too slow.

Nothing, guys?

[battleME]

you definitely need borderline ranger? also, why Terminus?

i say...
+2 borderline ranger
+1 Rancor
+1 silverheart
+2 Dismember/Gut Shot


-4 Terminus
-2 solemn

the main problem with this deck is that you dont have any answer to mana dorks. you might try an exalted g/w just add couple of sublime archangels and revenge of the haunted.

i would run some gutshot's for mana dorks. sure they rotate in 6 weeks but its like 4 bucks total for a playset and they can really help keep your opponent from ramping to quickly

[GareBear]

This deck is just not good right now. As others have said, there is already a deck that abuses ETB effects: Pod.

This deck might be more viable after rotation, but for now, it just doesn't bring enough to the table. When it goes well, it is just explosive! It brings so many beats and enough answers to survive most situations. But without that perfect hand, it does very little and has a hard time surviving.

Conjurer's Closet and Roaring Primadox.

[GareBear]

Are we listing things that are slow and janky?

[Psyren]

to be honest, I really don't like Garruk the Relentless in this format and Terminus is counterproductive for this deck.
