@MR Safety:
I initially had black in the list but I really wanted Punishing Fire and Field of Dreams. Perhaps Blue/Black/Green is still a better route for Abrupt Decay, Liliana of the Veil and Thoughtseize though.
The green splash is still sort of undecided but its for the sideboard. At least Ancient Grudge should be in the side to combat chalice of the void among other things.

2) Omnitell looks like a disaster, you have some rebs but DDT + BS + a average turn 4 kill is pretty bad, maybe discard work better than countermagic here?
Proactive discard is better indeed. That would mean I'd have to give up punishing fire and probably trade them for abrupt decays. My plan was to sideboard at least 3 extra rebs for the omnitell match up. I'm willing to sideboard more even as the meta is very blue.

3) SDT is insane against you, you need a good plan against it (imho 2 needles are not enough)
3 needles?

4) Get some artifact hate in your SB, given that null rod is played and is autoloss
Ancient Grudge should be in the side. Perhaps nature's claim or krosan grip to deal with random sylvan libraries / counterbalance too

5) Why no Transmute artifact, Ancient tomb, tezzeret AoB (way better than JTMS imho), and i guess that thopters may work too and enlightned tutor should be tested
The converted manacost of the artifacts is really low, and there is enough redundancy in the deck I think. I considered Transmute and Thopter Foundry but decided I'd rather use the space for Counterbalance. Ancient Tomb and City of Traitors I also considered, but if I want to land Counterbalance, it's not that great and Ancient Tomb is a liability against delver decks that use bolts. It may still be correct though, I was really tempted to run it. Not sure about Tezz vs Jace. Some modern lists play Tezz but Jace is banned there. Jace does exactly what the deck wants to do though. Needs to be tested.
[/QUOTE]6) Are you able to deal with BG decks? Decay seems problematic in delver shells[/QUOTE]
I think sideboard Spellskite would be desirable for those match ups. Not sure yet.

I think a BUG list and a RUG list look most viable to me. I'm not sure what an UW list could be besides Swords to Plowshares and Rest in Piece, but I'm open for suggestions.
