Arena Standard - ARTISAN_U-Tempo?

DISCLAIMER: The original deck idea came from CovertGoBlue (click for "his" video on YouTube). 

The idea behind my changes to this deck were to make it into an ARTISAN (uncommon/common only) version, for the people who like this kind of strategy. I felt like the deck would work well enough without rares. (Maybe for the upcoming ARTISAN Mid-Week event?!) 

This version needed to find proper replacements for the Haughty Djinnimage -> Trawler Drakeimage and Ledger Shredderimage -> Faerie Vandalimage and Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberrationimage, which unsurprising enough, wasn't very difficult to find, as the budget replacements "kind of" do the same thing, just not as explosive. Other than that, the deck operates very much the same.

KNOW THY STRENGTH:

Game plan: STICK a threat, PROTECT the creature as much as possible and try to reduce oppoenent's life total faster than OP does yours. Simple as that. Since this deck doesn't play any counter spell effects, it is absolutely necessary to have some amount of knowledge about the deck we are playing against, in order play AROUND the opponent's strength! (Thanks for the extra effort, color blue.) However, if the game goes longer, Trawler Drakeimage will grow big enough and/or Tolarian Terrorimage have a big enough body to eventually get the win.
Slip Out the Backimage is also a TEMPOrary "removal spell", just in case you need to get rid of a blocker.

WHAT CAN GO WRONG:

Since Ledger Shredderimage triggers off of the 2nd spell of "each" player, it will generate a LOT of card selection/advantage and also grow in power. Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberrationimage and Faerie Vandalimage will not do such thing and that results in a slower game progression, which gives the opponent much time to deal with what we have.

WHAT COULD CHANGE:

It's possible to remove all 4x Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberrationimage, add the missing 2x Faerie Vandalimage instead and then focus more on card draw spells like 4x Curateimage, by removing 2x Impulseimage to get back to 60 total cards. 
-> The reason why I don't fancy this verions that much, is because the Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberrationimage can transform quicker to 3 Power, than the Faerie Vandalimage would grow and therefore slow the deck down even further.

FUTURE SIGHT:

I will be showcasing several flavourful 60 card artisan decks, with mechanics I deem strong enough to built around. Keep an eye out for the next one. 

Thank you for reading!
