Any help is greatly appreciated. Kinda trying to do what I can with the knowledge I know. I'm ok with modern but not great

- 4 {Dissipate}
+4 {Psychic Strike}

And I'd drop a {Sphinx's Revelation} to complete the playset of {Glimpse the Unthinkable}. Finally, have you considered {Mind Funeral}?

[SoshiGanrou]

I did but with the glimpse and archive trap I didn't want to have too much I guess and run into a bond when I needed answers I suppose. I also chose dissipate over the psychic strike because of mirror or another control. I don't want to give them more targets. Would much rather know that they can't have that back. That make any sense?

 {Perplex} is a nice counter.

{Perplex} is a nice counter.

Cards like that are a trap: letting your opponent choose means they will always do what is best for them, like discarding worthless cards or just letting it be a {Cancel}. {Dissipate} is just better.
