This is just a draft. It is only a side project.

My current goal is to accumulate a master list of anything monoblue that could work in a countertrip (cantrips+counterspells) or artitrip (cantrip artifact) list. I will trim into a working list later on.

I saw a deck tech on Talrand that was really cool. If I find it again I'll post a link for you.

Is get rid of the smaller effects: the {Preordain}, {Gitaxian Probe} and others. They're good effects in other formats, not large enough for EDH.

If you want to be a jerk - CounterTop is a thing {Counterbalance} + {Sensei's Divining Top}.

Also the {Arcane Laboratory} + {Erayo, Soratami Ascendant} lockout is cool too.

Please read {Talrand, Sky Summoner} and reconsider. In going to need to use lots of cantrips to get the right answers to let my drake army get there. I can afford to flood out or not have a counter available when s*** hits the fan.

I know about him. I don't think either spell is big enough for a deck. They're cheap, but not reusable. I'd consider taking {Think Twice} over either, you get the 2 for 1. Without recycling your graveyard - one time, low cost effects aren't efficient. But it tis your deck afterall, just my 2¢

I definately like where youre coming from and thank you. Im toying with various precentages but I know a huge part of the deck will be cantrips. I will be adding lots of recursion, I want to draw my deck a couple times before ending the game.
