Flash Marts
Anagram of Marsh Flats, giving the colors of my upcoming deck, B/W. This one provides a similiar idea to my Naya build, but in a more efficient, synergistic package. Most of the creatures are double colored mana, providing for some hard opening choices, but we'll see how to level that one out. This deck is designed to be a post-rotation build, so no Ob Ring or Path suggestions, unless we find out those are being reprinted. The main idea is to get an equipment or other artifact card on the field to give potential vessels for Phylactery Liches once they hit play and to get Sun Titan out to bring the Liches back from the grave if they manage to die or become discarded. The other threats are Abyssal Persecutors and Baneslayer Angels, giving this deck many effective fatties, potentially from turn 3 onwards. My current build, uncompleted, looks like this:
Creatures(16):
3 Stoneforge Mystic
4 Phylactery Lich
3 Abyssal Persecutor
3 Baneslayer Angel
3 Sun Titan
Instants/Sorceries(8):
2 Consume the Meek
3 Consuming Vapors
3 Condemn
Artifacts(7):
3 Basilisk Collar
2 Sword of Vengeance
2 Crystal Ball
Lands(22):
4 Marsh Flats
9 Swamps
9 Plains
xx 7 OPEN SLOTS xx
Ideas are well appreciated and if I'm missing anything give me a heads up. Unless this build fails epically I will almost definitely be running it as my main deck.

Titanic Ultimatum
Card namesake pun, and this deck may run it for a bit. I'm continuing with my Stoneforge Mystic-Sun Titan concept, with the possible addition of red to get Bolt and Inferno Titan. The deck plays like a Naya form of the Stoneforge Mystic deck, using Sun Titan to bring Stoneforge or equipment cards back from the grave, as all are under 3 cost. I think it'd look like:
4 Stoneforge Mystic
4 Sun Titan
2 Inferno Titan
2 Primeval Titan
2 Sword of Vengeance
2 Basilisk Collar
2 Behemoth Sledge
4 Cunning Sparkmage
4 Lightning Bolt
2 Titanic Ultimatum
2 Rootbound Crag
4 Arid Mesa
2 Sunpetal Groove
4 Raging Ravine
4 Stirring Wildwood
3 Plains
3 Mountain
3 Forest
7 OPEN SLOTS
Not perfect, and will drop a few of the cards when standard changes, but it's an acceptable deck idea for now. Any thoughts?

Akroma lost her sword
I've been spending a lot of time on the MTG Salvation Forums but I had a combo idea with the Sword of Vengeance in M11. It's the basic Stoneforge Mystic plan with the ability to make and swing a mini-Baneslayer on turn 4: Turn one Kitesail Apprentice --> turn two Stoneforge to fetch the sword --> play it turn three --> drop Kor Outfitter turn four to equip the apprentice, while hopefully dropping a Seijiri Steppe to give it pro. whatever the main opponents threat is, then swinging with a 4/2 flying, first strike, vigilance, trample, and haste. Good enough for me, especially if you throw in a few more of the equippable Kor and other equipment to keep the chain going. Also, add a few Sun Titans to retrieve dead equipment and creature later in the game.

Combo Harvester
I am trying to figure out comboes with the spoilers, and my first big thought is there must be something with voltaic key. It's effect is one mana and tap itself to untap an artifact. Now we just need an ability that when a permanent taps it makes mana or other things to infinite combo.
