Notes
 
Currently testing out some new things - like MD Arc Trail, MD Batterskull, and SB Spellskite. Skite seems really good for this deck and like it should be in the MD, but it would be replacing Arc Trail - and I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. Skite pushes a more bomb-reliant plan, since it helps block until I get to cast my bombs, and then it protects them, but I'm not sure that's better than just wiping Aggro's board, and/or using Trail to promote aggression with Phoenix, Shrine, and copying / support pinging via Chandra. I'll have to test and see what the meta favors - they both seem like strong choices.

    cant tell what changes you made, looks like chandra was reduced to one copy (predictible) and you added another koth. Also looks like your now main decking a ghostquarter now , i think? did you add more lands?

      Nope, just straight cut a Mountain. Ideally I'd play 20 Mountains for Koth, but I need all the nonbasics. There's a RG Midrange deck largely based around Kessig Wolf Run right now, and the deck is more or less dominating the format - and it's my worst match up by a wide margin. Generally they only play two copies of Wolf Run, so with the two Ghost Quarters total post-SB, I can use Phyrexian Metamorph to copy their Primeval Titans and tutor up direct counters to their lands.

    why the forest in the deck? would'nt swamp of island be better?

      It's to flashback Ancient Grudge in the SB. If my Inkmoths get hit with enemy Ghost Quarters, I can fetch up the forest if need be. Otherwise Sphere of the Suns helps splash everything
