U could make it a little more controlling

[Pirate John]

It's a pretty solid deck to my surprise. I glanced over at this expecting to see a sub par deck, but this tempo deck isn't half bad.

Here are my suggestions:
1. Cut Aurelia's fury and add some tempo cards (madcap skills, hands of binding, etc)
2. Add some instant speed burn (shock, helix, turn//burn)
3. Cut silence from the side. You still have to contend with what's already on the field.
4. The amount of control is fine for a tempo deck but you might consider 1 hard counter

[Pirate John]

Yea, you could cut 1-2 sphinx. I assume jace is in the deck for draw power so I'd leave him in. Tempo normally has a problem with keeping cards in hand.

You can free up your side by removing the RIP. Re-animator won't exist for a bit post rotation and the flash mechanic is rotating out. Racket bombs (1-2) in the side for token decks. Medic for aggro decks (works really well followed by a supreme verdict).

[Pirate John]

I think you try and fly over him or azorius charm him. He'll lose most his steam once vexing devil and all the other cheap 'scavenge' cycles out. I think your biggest concern regarding graveyards is scavenging ooze, but detain should keep him in check until you find an answer.

[Pirate John]

How are you going to play test? FNM tonight?

[Pirate John]

You could still do the good ol flash style. Deputy of aquittal kills on turn 40 then win the set due to time

[Pirate John]

I thought he was in there just for instant speed 2/2 so you can counter if you needed to. 6 mana for bouncing sparktrooper seems a little much.

[Pirate John]

It's return to hand though

Hmm... I guess it's ok. It'll keep your hand size up so you can keep detaining with arrester. Lol

[Pirate John]

My friends and I think it's going to be the rise of enchantment creatures. Theres only ONE in the all of Magic right now. Time to buy some keening apparitions lol.
