Counter spells are fairly weak right now. Draw card and life gain however make quite an impact on te game. The fact you use snap caster is good justification to run a coulpe counters however.

I would drop the {thought scour} and {dissipate} and a land and add 3x {azorious keyrune}, 1x {sphinx's revelation}, and 1x {think twice}. The keyrune's allow for slight ramp and can serve as an alternate win con. The power of the revelation is absolutely amazing. And think twice pulls more than scour.

Also have you experienced the sheer power of {cyclonic rift} yet?

[Willthomjr]

I was using thought scour on myself with the combo of snap since its like a dig card. But I agree with sphinx's revelation. I know how valuable life is especially at instant speed. I haven't been digging the counters tbh and was thinking of trying without.

[Willthomjr]

I find snap to have a place here since he helps with narrow margin as a blocker and of course flashback of charm to harass heavy Aggro deck.

I think it needs an other finisher or 2. Like  {Isperia, Supreme Judge} and  {Drogskol Reaver}.

Um i say no. This deck would benifit from another entreat, but not a conventional creature. In strong control decks the bombs must have some of these qualities: instant game state change, extreme evasion, recursion of some kind, or extreme value ({armada wurm} and {entreat the angels})

The only problem I see in he deck is you lose to any deck that runs [slaughter games]
:( but his is tue with any deck that runs so little win conditions I see how you like u/w control but the real control deck to beat right now is bant but that's just my opinion ;)

I dont think {slaughter games} will destroy you too bad, because your opponent will be forced to choose between stopping your early game, most annoying answer, and your end game. That decision alone will probably cost your opponent the game since there is no perfect choice. He does bring up a truly valid concern though, {witchbane orb} should probably find a place in your sideboard. 

[Willthomjr]

What about running a fatty? I like angel in here since it removes annoying opponents stuff but I've returned 2-3 snaps of mine this way. I'd like to run 3 entreats but I'm never ready for it when I draw it seems.

I been contemplating dropping snaps for maybe giests or something else

[Kaleo42]

Thats a good game two option with the geists, but youll lose the heart of the deck pretty quick if you start placing aggro elements. The keyrunes should be solving this problem since they get you more prepared for entreat and can attack on a freshly wrathed field.

[Willthomjr]

I like revelation, I played a burn deck and with 2 and snaps I played it 4 times and got through most of my deck. I would like to get it fine tuned but I can see BANT being better because of far seek and thragtusk

[Kaleo42]

Have you seen my living on a whim deck? If not take a look at it and ask about some of my choices and how things are going. I feel that my provide some more insight.
