The black isnt doing enough here. Either more and better black cards or no black.

You don't like {Evil Twin}, {Sever the Bloodline}, or {Lingering Souls}?

{evil twin} is a terrible card right now in this format. I recommend either cutting black for more draw, control, or dudes. OR add {Knight of infamy}, {duress}, {mind rot}, and/ or {sorin, lord of innistrad}. Those are the black additions I can think of right now, but I'm fairly certain I am missing some.

I still don't see how Twin is bad, so many creatures to copy, and he trumps {Clone} by far.

One could suggest that {Clone} is better because its splashible (only {U}). If you're using it for what I think you are (destroying Legendary creatures) then it's ability is irrelevant, and holding you back.

{Detention Sphere} = better then {Sever the Bloodline} for this type of deck, does almost the same thing, effects more then creatures (enchantments, artifacts, planeswalkers) and is cheaper.

Flashback on {Lingering Souls} you can splash like 3 {Drowned Catacombs} and 1 {Swamp}. That way you can focus on 4 {Glacial Fortress} and 4 {Hallowed Fountain}. Screwing up the mana base for 3 spells that have an equivilant in {U}{W} is counter productive.

 {Evil Twin} vs {Thragtusk}// Angel of Serenity}?  That is what I'm trying to stop pretty much, seems to be my shops meta.

Add more {Dissipate} or {Syncopate}. {Clone} effects are the absolute opposite way to take care of those creatures.

Hmm I really want it to be Esper so once Gatecrash gets here I've kind of got the basis down.

I mean this as a teaching method not an insult.
"I really want start studying how to chop down this large tree so once feburary comes and the tools arrive ill be ready to chop it down."
You can scratch at this idea all you want, but do you really want to spend the next 3 months waiting to be able to chop down the competition? Maybe you should revisit this idea when you atleast know (or have a good idea of) what tools are on their way.
