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.

respawned

{ordeal of thassa} is great with the skulker as well

Oh 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!

no {prognostic sphinx}?
I'd love to have him, but I don't want to drop anything that I already have. D':

How do you beat {mist cutter hydra}? Also, {Jace architect of thought}, {Jace memory adept} and {Jace, the living six pack}.
(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.

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
These 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

It's all good. Been playing esper control standard since innistrad rotated, so trying to keep my eyes open of replacements. Honestly think I'm going BUG after rotation. We shall see. Really curious as to what khans brings us

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

BLARBLRGHLARGHBLARBLE!!!!! MUST HAVE DISSSSS! :O

That looks even better! Dropped the {Chasm Skulkers}, though. :/ I may even wind up dropping the big fish-at least until {Mr. Flicker} cycles out.

lotrwk

I'd say {ratchet bomb} in the sideboard

That tends to be the reaction. xD

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
