Mishra Deck

Here is a Mishra deck that I have been working on. It can have some explosive early game plays if it resolves a Mishra. Otherwise it tends to stall behind Epochrasites until it can set up a big turn. Suggestions are welcome as well as pointing out noticable weaknesses. Thanks.

4 Graven Cairns
1 Academy Ruins
3 Urza's Factory
4 Shivan Reef

4 Icy Manipulator

4 Dimir Signet
4 Rakdos Signet

Any sort of combo will absolutely roll you so badly

Thanks for the feedback. Besides project x and storm, what other combo decks are in the current environment? Any thing that I could/should change to the maindeck or sb to help in those matches? Thanks.

Hmm to actually be useful now.
I think that the only combos that you will be likely to see are project X and storm, Project X and a lot of other decks will hopefully fall to pithing needle which i see you have. Your going to have much more trouble with stuff like TSPS the standard perfect storm, for which you'll either need some sort of discard or a much much better clock, also jus t in generall now that crucible is back in standard and blood moon is still in i would include 1 of each basic so ghost quarter doesn't become too bad too quickly. Probably cutting 1 Urzas factory and maybe a Graven Cairns

4 Triskelavus
4 Icy Manipulator
4 Serrated Arrows
4 Coalition Relic
4 Prismatic Lens
4 Coldsteel Heart
4 Aeon Chronicler
4 Mishra, Artificer Prodigy
4 Sol'kanar the Swamp King
6 Island
6 Swamp
4 Sulfurous Springs
4 Graven Cairns
2 Academy Ruins
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

This is a Mishra deck I posted earlier. For some strange reason it does not have March of the Machines, so I guess -2 Sol'Kanar +2 March of the Machines. The deck can be quite fast, but is in essence a fun deck - I think a Mishra deck will never be anything else anyway. The deck avoids Ravnica cards on purpose.
