I am really considering playing my WWu Quest build for Stamford on Sunday. Here's the decklist...
4 Memnite 4 Ornithopter 4 Glint Hawk 4 Squadron Hawk 4 Kor Skyfisher 3 Stoneforge Mystic 3 Kor Outfitter
4 Quest for the Holy Relic 4 See Beyond 1 Argentum Armor 1 Sword of Body of Mind 1 Sword of Feast and Famine 1 Mortarpod
Land
8 Plains 4 Marsh Flats 2 Contested War Zone 4 Seachrome Coast 4 Glacial Fortress
I like splashing Blue for See Beyond, just in case Argentum Armor winds up in your hand.
The equipment is pretty standard, but Mortarpod fits nicely against CawGo with all the creatures in the deck. I would gladly sacrifice a Squadron Hawk or Ornithopter in response to an equip.
Sideboard:
4 Leonin Relic Warder 1 Elspeth Tirel 3 Kor Firewalker 3 Journey to Nowhere 2 Devout Lightcaster 2 Leyline of Sanctity
I think this deck has some real game against the current meta, but I may be way off base. Let me know your thoughts.

Updated list..
4 Memnite 4 Ornithopter 4 Glint Hawk 4 Squadron Hawk 4 Kor Skyfisher 3 Stoneforge Mystic 4 Kor Outfitter
4 Quest for the Holy Relic 3 See Beyond 1 Into The Roil 1 Argentum Armor 1 Sword of Body of Mind 1 Sword of Vengeance (Yes, you read correctly)
Land
8 Plains 4 Marsh Flats 2 Contested War Zone 4 Seachrome Coast 4 Glacial Fortress
SB:
4 Leonin Relic Warder 1 Sword of Feast and Famine 1 Elspeth Tirel 3 Kor Firewalker 2 Journey to Nowhere (Should these be Tumble Magnet?) 2 Devout Lightcaster or Mirran Crusader 2 Leyline of Sanctity
CawGo package:
-2 Kor Outfitter +4 Leonin Relic Warder -2 Kor Skyfisher +1 Elspeth Tirel -1 See Beyond
RUG package:
-2 Kor Outfitter +2 Journey to Nowhere -2 Kor Skyfisher +3 Kor Firewalker -1 See Beyond
Valakut package:
-2 Kor Outfitter +2 Leyline of Sanctity -2 Kor Skyfisher +2 Journey to Nowhere
Boros Package: -2 Kor Outfitter +3 Leonin Relic Warder -2 Kor Skyfisher +2 Kor Firewalker
B/R Vampires:
-2 Kor Outfitter +2 Mirran Crusader -1 Sword of Body and Mind +1 Sword of Feast and Famine
So what's with Sword of Body and Mind in the Mainboard and Feast and Famine in the side? I think the U/G sword is better in aggro decks. It makes more dudes and has a powerful mill effect that impacts any deck. The B/G is good, but I'm not that concerned with untapping my lands for counterspells. I'd rather have the other two effects.
Sword of Vengeance? Really? I think this sword is entirely underrated. It gives creatures trample, first-strike AND vigilance. That's huge! With trample, an equipped Glint Hawk or Squadron Hawk is almost always guaranteed to get damage through and trigger the U/G sword effects. An equipped Glint Hawk trades with Baneslayers and KILLS titans. Throw Argentum Armor in there and it gets out of hand.
Like any combo deck, WW Quest needs to be able to win without its main combo going off. I think the Stoneforge, Outfitter, Sword package provides enough firepower to win in matchups where Argentum Armor does not see play. It's really two combo decks merged into one.
