Llawan, Cephalid Empress can get there a lot of the time.
The Enlightened Tutor package "increases" my 2 drops significantly. I would like to get a singleton Daze in there, but it is most certainly enough 2 drops. Also, I counted wrong. I have 8 non-CB 2...
I've cut Daze. Though, I'm also running four non-Counterbalance 2 drops and an Enlightened Tutor package.
If a deck is running E Tutor, you definitely only need 2 Spellskite. Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I am not totally on board the Lavamancer train. I also think a lot of people are downplaying...
I think you people are vastly underestimating how much more powerful Standstill becomes with Mental Misstep. I also feel Spellskite is a card that is being sorely overlooked in this deck. Of...
I've been testing this to a significant amount of success so far. Torpor Orb shuts down Trinket Mage, so the logical conclusion is to pull Mage entirely and replace it with E Tutor. Spellskite is...
If I stick a Peacekeeper, I will usually win. That is about the only time I will win though. Threads of Disloyalty and Gilded Drake are also a real beating. I'm wondering if the white is even...
I've been keeping a tight lid on my latest build, but I need some help. Just any general thoughts, questions, concerns, etc would be extremely helpful.

1 Nought is far too few. 1 SDT is also far too few and 4 Counterbalance is way too high. The Counter/Top ratio should be at least 3/2, respectively. Your whole deck seems to fold to Fish, so get a...
What is the general consensus on Jace, the Mind Sculptor at this point? Zoo, Fish and Goblins are sure to make an insurgence with Survival gone, but is Jace still too slow for that kind of meta? ...
It was a hidden image referenced on the Mothership. It is legitimately from Wizards and will likely grace the dailymtg page come Monday 12AM.
So, supposedly, Survival is confirmed to be banned.

To me, this increases Jaces value in the meta. With that many Vengevines...
So I am in love with Trickbind, has anyone contemplated a 3/3 Stifle/Trickbind split instead of 4/2? It may lower the chance of a t2 StifleNought, but it seems stronger against such a heavy...
Thanks for those answers, RoodMistah. I'm still interested in your logic when you decided to not splash White, though.
I, also, am curious as to the logic behind some of your choices.
Why no Jace, TMS? He seems really good here, so what was your logic for not including him? I'm not saying it seems like a bad...
White really helps with that MU since it gives you Peacekeeper and StP. Also, I believe spell snare should be an automatic 4-of in this meta.
I'll do some testing with some more fetches, but I don't really think I can fit another 'Nought and two Trickbinds nor can I condone the use of a fourth Brainstorm instead of a fourth Spell Snare.
I don't really see the point of more fetch lands. The deck thinning is never as relevant as people seem to think and 4 provides the right amount of fixing just fine.
Brainstorm is great, but the...

Peacekeeper is simply the way of the future. It's excellent.
How has the one Trickbind been? I, honestly, wouldn't feel comfortable without 6 Stifle were I to be running 3 'Noughts. And what of the third Jace? It seems like you only need 2 with all that...
Honestly, I've liked 2 'Noughts with 3 Trinket Mage. That "I only have two 'Noughts" feeling goes a long way to keeping me from overextending and reduce the likelihood of needing a 'Nought without a...
