Fixed the mana, Rites on t4 about 75% of the time.  Still testing which counters to stick to.

Oh it must be fun...:D definitely...


But on ur place I woul drop counterspells.... They seems so unuseful lately...:)

I would add  {Thought Scour} instead...;) to mill urself and draw...;) it would fit in ur deck as a starter...;)

My roommate says the same thing but with the draw mechanics I have in the deck allows me what to choose what I dump in the gy, my choice of what I keep in my hand and 90% of the time at EOT I {Izzet Charm} to draw 2 discard 2 as opposed to hold it to counter.

Get ur point... Still I would play that Thought Scour...;) the thing about it is that it is one off.. And could be helpful...;)

Thanks for the idea, i built and esper idea based on this, but more control. I think this could be a thing come gatecrash.

Dimir is what I want! Orhzov is probably going to be broken as well as Boros, I'll probably trade out Serinity for the new angel.  I'm hoping it will be viable until then.

Just dropped one A. Charm for Rites, wants looting into it quick enough with 3.

And if your an Esper Reanimater run {Lingering Souls}, I tried it in mine , but seemed like I didn't have the right mana base for it early game and threw off T1 {Faithless Looting}, T2 {Izzet Charm}.

Did some fine tuning, 4 {Snapcaster Mage} was just to many, sucked having 2-3 in hand. Added {Psychic Spiral} for alternate win con, I fly threw the deck flickering Sphinx and my discard.
