I love chasm skulker and the leviathan. I rock that in my simic deck. I'm not a great control player so I can't make any really helpful suggestions.
Quote from: Tabooist on August 20, 2014, 11:33:57 AMActually, that sounds pretty good to me. I wish I could fit that last {Griptide} back into the main board, and I wish that I had room for {Opportunity}. X/ It's close...
I'd side an aetherling for another chasm skulker. Have you tested?
Quote from: Silent1236 on August 20, 2014, 10:15:10 PMOh my good god. I was running four, but I guess my friend and I were both reading this card incorrectly. I saw the word "creature" in there somewhere. What am I thinking? -.- Thank you!
I kinda want to say
-1 {Negate}
-1 {Nullify}
+2 {Dissipate}
I really like cacth-all counters. I know that raises the CMC for your counterspells a bit, but it's a bit less situational.

no {prognostic sphinx}?
Quote from: CrackaLacka on August 20, 2014, 08:36:42 PM(Lol@six pack) I was thinking about trying to squeeze in an Architect or two, but didn't want to trade for them just to have them cycle out-not that the others wouldn't work.
How do you beat {mist cutter hydra}? Also, {Jace architect of thought}, {Jace memory adept} and {Jace, the living six pack}.

Quote from: SoshiGanrou on August 20, 2014, 09:58:06 PMThese are all great ideas! Thank you for taking the time to suggest them. I didn't see the comparability of {Jace's Ingenuity} to {Font of Fortunes}! I also obviously have problems reading blue cards, because I thought {Void Snare} only worked on creatures as well... -_- I'm a black player; what can I say? Lol
I agree with the {ætherspouts} as a 4 of in this deck. Put your army on the bottom or make you have to replay the army while I dig sounds pretty good. I would also consider {void snare} as well. Just a quick bounce spell that can help stall on a plains walker or a banishing light. To me {jace's inginuity} as a 4 of is a little high. I would have 2 and I would also consider {font of fortunes} as well in mixture of {divination}. Gives you the ability to hold open 3 mana for your counter spells and still draw 2 cards. And you can play it a turn earlier as well. Just my thoughts if I were to go mono blue control

Sideboard {Perilous Vault}. Everybody forgets that they have access to a board wipe. In standard. No matter what colour you're playing.

Quote from: Hunteroffire9 on August 21, 2014, 02:49:34 PMI have actually considered most of those creatures! {Omenspeaker} was brought up as well, but I'm in the process of playtesting at the time being. That, and I don't want to dish out 12 dollars on {Cyclonic Rift}. My trades are mostly poop. XD I would love it I could, though. It would be sooooo good.
I recommend {aetherize} for the sb for aggro matchups, its a turn faster which can be game changing. It's followed perfectly by the other mass bounce spell. Also {cyclonic rift} could be considered. I feel like this deck needs a small creature to beat down while your countering and bouncing or your just stalling to die in the end. Something like {delver of secrets}. A good 1 drop is also judges familiar. I think having a {frostburn weird} would be a good way to beat down while slowing them down too. He also has a big body vs fast aggro decks and blocks amazingly!
-good luck
