This looks pretty nasty!  And pricy!  Lol!  Is the spell snare to counter counters?  I haven't seen that card before.

{flusterstorm} is one of the best counters to counter other counters.  The spell snare is there cuz of all the good 2 CMC you see in legacy.  And yes this is a nasty deck also about $2,000 on the low end.

Three colors seems hard to do.

Also, Liliana seems kind of redundant here.   As you want to be winning before she comes out.

This coming from the man who is now a convert and has a RUG Delver deck????  Three colors is all too easy to do with this mana base.  Lily provides some great mid-game control....especially if your opponents creature count is down to one big guy and she makes you sac him.  Lily also helps fill your GY for gastly demise, the goyf, threshold for the mongoose, and the tombstalker if he comes in from the SB.

It seems that if you resist the urge to make every card you like in your deck a 4-of, and do 3 instead, you can fit a lot more and it is still consistent. Looks that way with this deck...good job. It has quick damage and good answers.

I like how {Ghastly Demise} keeps up with the speed of the game, so to speek. With this deck, it is a perfect removal tool. I also like how {Maelstorm Pulse} will get rid of tokens and also just an annoying 2-of on the battlefield.

Yes I am a fan of 3 of's.  I reserve 4 of slots for cards that I don't mind drawing multiples of because they are always useful and easy to cast.  I shy away from 2 of's and reserve 1 of's for those bomb spells that you don't ever want multiples of but could be a game changer if you draw it and play it at the right time.

Yeah I once had a whole deck of 3ofs.
It was pretty cool.

For tourney

Confirmed

Want to build this so bad.  I marked what I need to build it.  Exactly half the deck....not counting the needed from the SB.

{Duress} could work in place of {Thoughtseize} for now.

Maybe try using {perish} over {tombstalker} in the sideboard. {choke} is also a good sideboard card.
