John W. and I were talking about this while driving to Red Caps on Sunday. With Lodestone Golem, Aethersworn Cannonist, and Meddling Mage all available, I think you could get a decent deck going. Here's what I came up with:

Creatures: 18
4x Deft Duelist
3x Meddling Mage
4x Aethersworn Cannonist
3x Kor Hookmaster
4x Lodestone Golemn

Spells: 17
4x Path into Exile
4x Treasure Hunt
4x Into the Roil
3x Negate
2x Sleep

Planeswalkers: 1
1x Elspeth, Knight Errant

Lands: 24
4x Glacial Fortress
2x Celestial Colonnade
4x Halimar Depths
2x Arid Mesa
4x Misty Rainforest
5x Island
3x Plains

John suggested I post it up here so we could start getting some ideas going.

Other possible cards include Mind Control, Whiplash Trap, or going with a Exalted theme with Akrasian Squire and Ardent Plea. Let me know what you think!

Edit: Updated, per suggestion

your post should be UW fish not UB fish. The list actually looks really solid right now. I think that the two sphinx should actually be spell pierce or negates. You should also probably run the full 4 colonnade in the deck, 8 dual lands help the mana base a ton. The halimar depths are good but you have almost no way of actually abusing them. You have no shuffle effects and only treasure hunt to draw cards. I think that you want either more dual lands, some fetch lands, or just basics that come into play untapped.

I think that you need some 1 drops in the deck. Either a 1 drop creature like akrasian squire, or ponder. Both these cards a great turn 1 and still have value later in the game.

Updated the original post.

Edit: What about Hindering Light rather than Negate. It's a bit more narrow, but it does draw a card.

What about Calcite Snapper over Deft Duelist? Survives Earthquakes and pyroclasms.

I think Hindering Light is too conditional, but try it out.

And yes put Ponder in there.
