{nullify} > {essence scatter}

I'd wait and hear what Kaleo has to say. I still personally don't like the gainsays in your build but that's just me.

Actually, I disagree about nullify. I don't always get double blue with this mana base.  I was planning to wait for Kaleo's opinion as well.  Thanks for all the help! :D

{negate} gets all the gods to

True. I guess that would also mean less of a need for {gainsay} to get rid of {thassa, god of the sea} in the mono-blue matchup.

Gainsay is great in the board. It solidifies your control and mono blue matchups which can both easily steal wins.

So maybe 3 gainsay 3 negate?

But then what about blood baron and stormbreath dragon.  hmmm. {rapid hybridization}?

Ekann1

New SB.

1 {Detention Sphere}
2 {Azorius Charm}
3 {Glare of Heresy}
2 {Gainsay}
1 {Elspeth, Sun's Champion}
2 {Negate}
2 {Essence Scatter}
2 {Rootborn Defenses}

Oh and btw it gets no gods. Gods are creature spells even if they enter as just enchantments. {Essence scatter} gets gods though.

{Lyev sky night}?

Nah. I have way too many 3 drops already, and better ones too. Also, sometimes this deck oddly has a hard time finding a blue source. Thanks for the suggestion though.

So what do you think of this SB? I think the SB is the last change to make, then I'll be done with the list.

1 Detention Sphere
2 Azorius Charm
3 Glare of Heresy
2 Gainsay
1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion
2 Negate
2 Essence Scatter
2 Rootborn Defenses

Could always thow in 2 guild gates over plains if you need blue sources

Seems good for now. When you get the chance -1 ephara +1 brimaz seems pretty good. Lets see how it does this week.

Actually, the first event I'm going to be able to take it to will be game day :(

Thanks for all the help! :D

I might need something to replace a last Ephara, as I'm already ordering $50 of stuff tomorrow and borrowing everything else but the 1 ephara. I won't be able to get it I don't think, so would {Archetype of Courage} be an ok replacement?

Have you considered  {Blind Obedience}  over  {Imposing Sovereign}? That extort trigger is pretty sweet. And maybe  {Judge's Familiar}?

I actually didn't, but I kinda like the awesomeness against {Master of Waves}.

And I actually couldn't find a spot in the deck for the familiar. Thoughts on what do cut?

Also I need to cut 1-2 cards to make room for the 3-4 brimaz I'm going to be able to play (yay for borrowing stuff)! :D

Ekann1

I may do -1 {Banisher Priest} +1 {Brimaz, King of Oreskos}
