Notice it says 'delay' in the title?

On that point though, I don't think you can have a delay + rush deck. They're practically opposites.

since sundials block your attacks too,
i really think they are a bad bad idea in this deck...

care to explain why you put them there?

How does that answer the question?

Replace Sundials with Lightnings, Momentums, Precognitions, Freezes, Forest Spirits.

Succinctly and properly. The title says 'delay rush'. The delay part of the title explains why the sundials are in the rush deck.

Actually, I see Sundials as somewhat useful here, for three reasons:

1) They are inexpensive and can lead to a faster deck, a la Precognition - same amount of draw acceleration.
2) If you don't get creatures out immediately but your opponent does, they can provide better survivability.
3) Even if you already have Golems out, they are growing while you wait.  The delay isn't hurting you as much as your opponent - unless he's got growth creatures too.
