So far that's only 54 cards... the object of this deck is to get River Kelpie out obviously and then everything else in this deck works by itself(as in I don't need River Kelpie out to win) but the Kelp does help them. Flashback cards now all have cantrips, Momentary Blink is in there for it's flashback cost but I guess it should be taken out because it's dead when it's in my hand and the only way I'm going to be able to get it into the GY is by Quiet Speculation or discard, if Momentary goes so does Quiet Speculation because then there are too few flashback cards for it to work and actually matter, Buried Alive works well with Ichorid or Narcomoeba especially with Kelpie in play. I would like to keep this deck extended/casual legal so no Yawgmoth's Will or anything too epic like that. Thanks for everyone's help in advance! And please remember that my budget is limited to trading so nothing too expensive like Thoughtseize or similar. Thanks again!
I don't get what you want to do. you say you don't need kelpie to win, so you go agro beatdown with 2cc 1/1 flyers and 4cc 3/1 haste? you know, to get back Ichorid you need black creeps in your yard, and he's the only one in the deck so far. and your only way to get narco into play without paying 1U is Buried Alive. *??*
explain it to me, I'm sure I miss your genious plan... I really try to get it but I can't.

Each reality is but the dream of another, and each sleeper a god unknowing.
We define the boundaries of reality; they don't define us.
@Blutsau: Thank you for pointing that out, I guess reading is tech. And I guess that Narcomoeba isn't that good without being in a dredge deck, and yes the only way to pay for it without paying the 1U and actually mattering with River Kelpie out is Buried Alive so they are both out of this deck, as are Momentary Blink and Quiet Speculation.
@Gulnar: The main key of most casual decks is originality.
So with a lot of cards removed, this is what I'm left with for a shell:
Speculation is not that bad - there are some "free" flashback cards. Lava Dart being one, CT another. I don't know why you're so fixed on Ichorid. you could do a nice flashback UR storm deck. Kelpie being only a backup plan for CA. betweenPyromacer's Swath, three mountains, Grape Shot and Quiet Speculation, there is some real damage. triple bolt, followed by quintuple shot for 3 thanks to storm(4), 8*3=24=you win. with some accel you can do that between t4 and t5, and maybe upp the storm count in the process.
ok, that's another deck and not even my idea, but it was mentioned in one breath with Kelpie as far as my memories are right.

I'm using 2 of the best flashback cards from blue and black... I'm just using U/B because I don't want another U/R deck, Black creatures and spells have the best interactions with the graveyard so it's a perfect unity with River Kelpie. If I wanted what people are suggesting I would have just used the MTG.com article about River Kelpie as a guideline instead of coming here.
Now with my rudeness out of the way. I have added Putrid Imp and Makeshift Mannequin as 4-ofs. I have also added in Puppeteer Clique as a 2-of because with Kelpie out it's extreme card advantage. I have also added a playset of Exhume because it's just a good reanimation card.

Dralnu, Lich Lord, Recoup, or Memory Plunder could have a place next to Kelpie as well.
