This decks win/loss/draw record was, as of game number eight, 5 wins, 2 losses, and one draw (due to lack of time). This deck seems to only work when I get an unusual number of lands early in the game; perhaps it should be changed, perhaps with the replacement of the Fears with Mountains and Swamps.

I am in the process of modifying this deck in order to make it better. A more recent version is Version Two.
