I think Unsub is definitely worth a spot in the deck over a number of Remands if we aren't playing Snap + Snappy MD. However, I think it shouldn't replace Remand *entirely*. Its nice to have an out, but despite how having the ability to bounce a creature or uncounterable spell is good, Remand is much better early in the game when you are sculpting your hand, and the card draw really helps when you Mission Briefing something to the top of your deck. Therefore, I think a 1/2 split of Unsub/Remand is beneficial. It also helps vs naming effects, like Cabal Therapy and Surgical Extraction. Thoughts?
On another note, what is our plan vs Nars3t and T3feri? Thankfully, we have enough mana to Remand them most times, but both cards have INSANE value vs us if they ever land. Narset shuts down our ability to search through our deck, and T3feri both kills our ability to fight on and manipulate the stack while also killing all of our Resets. Do these cards warrant any changes to the deck? Does anybody have any outs besides Remand/FoW or Wishing for a bounce spell?
EDIT: I have comboed through a Narset vs Miracles, but even though I had a killer hand, it was still extremely difficult. I ended up fighting through counters, producing a lot of mana, using the 1 draw on their turn to draw a Wish after surveiling it to the top of the deck with Briefing, wishing for and casting bounce, and then chaining Meditates until I had enough storm. However, I can't see how we can possibly combo off vs a Miracle player with a T3feri in play. If they have even a single counter, they can stop us from bouncing him. I think we either need an uncounterable answer to T3feri, or we need to fight him on the stack before he resolves.
EDIT 2: Hex Parasite is a janky answer to PWs that we can deploy t1, and have it sit there until we need it. However, that both doesn't fit the theme of Solidarity and takes up too many SB slots. I think its time for the return of Wipe Away. This is a clean answer to T3feri that will definitely resolve. Also, its 3 mana, which is a good CMC for Counterbalance as well. Thoughts?
