Notes:
This is a deck I've been testing for a little while in anticipation for born of the gods (more specifically the new planeswalker). I wanted to make a deck that maximizes the strength of these two colors. Blue has a massive hand size on a regular basis so I made sure that the deck had plenty of counter spells and "removal" to fill up that hand. Green does a good job at getting land so I made sure that I had plenty of ways to utilize that land on a constant basis. The deck is still in a beta form and have a few inconsistencies that I'm working on so suggestions are always welcome. My main problem is lack of a good 4 drop but I feel like that issue is soon to be resolved.

If you are having trouble with the 4 drop spot then why not grow in Jace AOT? Fits the blue of getting cards in hand and is an instant threat. Seems like a good fit to me

It's mostly the fact that he's expensive. I'm more of a budget player. When he comes out in the duel decks I might pick him up but for now I don't have the option to play him.

In would use drop the  {Sylvan Primordial} because they are too big even though their effect is ok. Instead of them I would sub two more {Ætherling} just because he is that good
