Yeah, I bet they could do some real work with a couple Legion Loyalists.

Chris you know another list you could consider for standard combo that fell off the radar after states a few years ago is a Burning Vengeance deck. The main issue with it at the time was that there was a good amount of counterspells around and people would just counter your combo. Otherwise, the deck DOMINATED aggro and one of the local good players took it to 9th place at Wisconsin States that year.
It's received considerable help card-wise since then and the original pieces are still all there. I'm working on a delver build with it (so you have two game plans you can rely on), but I think there's a lot of directions you could go. They also printed Secrets of the Dead since then which could be a card for it.
It could easily be one of those sleeper decks that you could completely dismantle an entire field with, especially if you run some counters yourself for obvious hate cards.

Here is Stephen Neal's Old list (he shot it over to me 4-5 months ago). It needs updating and I'm actually going to work on it when I get time but would appreciate any directions you guys think it could go. This could be a fun deck to play if we can get it right and make sure it's still competitive- 6 Island 3 Mountain 4 Drowned Catacomb 2 Shimmering Grotto 2 Copperline Gorge (rotated) 4 Blackcleave Cliffs (rotated) 4 Sulfur Falls (25 Lands) 3 Snapcaster Mage (3 Creatures) 4 Think Twice 4 Desperate Ravings 4 Mana Leak (rotated) 2 Devil's Play 1 Sever the Bloodline 1 Tribute to Hunger 1 Doom Blade (rotated) 4 Forbidden Alchemy 1 Ancient Grudge 4 Burning Vengeance 2 Slagstorm (rotated) 2 Dissipate 2 Geistflame (32 Spells) Sideboard (15) 2 Tribute to Hunger 2 Wurmcoil Engine (rotated) 2 Flashfreeze (rotated) 2 Dissipate 1 Sever the Bloodline 1 Olivia Voldaren 1 Arc Trail (rotated) 1 Snapcaster Mage 1 Nihil Spellbomb (rotated) 1 Ancient Grudge 1 Geistflame And an old article by spangolo- magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=10109

B/u/g evolve. Elusive Krasis, gyre sage, corpse jack menace, master biomancer, wolfir silver heart. Plus removal and farseek. I played against this, and narrowly won both games that he called a "slow start" in my last tourney. Somebody should check this out.

Something like that in a Friday SCG article www.starcitygames.com/article/25868_Thank-God-Its-FNM-BUG-Awesomeness.html
