Thanks for copying my, Martin's, Caleb's and others deck.  I would use the splashy thing.

I'm not sure it can be considered copying when everyone comes to it naturally ;)

As for defense...none.  Add in as much FBTNB you can, as many feasts/set-asides that let you draw, and go for the draw-out and walking by them each round.  If you're going to throw any defense in there, just use Sabbath Breaker (more draw), Gomer (for their EC), Cupbearer (for Soul-Gen), 12 Fingered Giant (best thing to stop their banding) or Goliath are nice for stopping some decks, and just pray you draw faster.  That's what T1 has come down to, anyway.

I've seen Amaikites slave used more often than cupbearer

Only advantage to Cupbearer is that he's CBN.  Yes, in what I suggested, both should probably go in.  You want Soul Gen for your fast-drawing deck to be able to have something to rescue.

Not neccessarily. Egyptians would be good with red, because they both discard decks... Also, I see a lot of real defenses. If you can surprise your opponent with a good defense, that can win you the game.

 :D. However, in the backwoods of WI, you still actually see a lot of defense, and it is actually useful.

Caaninites would work best with red I think.

Phillies work with EVERYTHING!

And if you really want to syrians but I would chose eygptians over them.
