I went Deva in a close call over Human. I'm interested to hear why people favor Eladrin; Eladrin Sword Wizardry isn't necessary to cheese save mods since anyone can take Arcane Implement Proficiency, and letting the longsword count as a wand isn't all that exciting for an orb wizard.IMO, the choice really comes down to Human vs. Deva.
Humans have the extra at-will (HUGE for a wizard), feat, +2 to Int (assumed), and HDB.
Devas have the right ability mods and have MoTL, which is pretty sweet.
I'll go with Humans.
Kzach, I know you "don't care", but you really ought to try and include every race in the CB that has a bonus to either the primary or secondary stat at a bare minimum.
Everyone's a critic.
