This is almost certainly a product of confirmation bias, but I've been happiest just bringing in Force of Will for LED. The window for it is narrower than for the other cards, but we don't have to throw mana at it, and it stops everything but Leyline. (It also gets mileage out of my pesky Narcomoebas, which really, really want me to hold them—much to my dismay.)
Your statement on Firestorm applies to Force of Will too. "We need it right away, we need to be able to pay for it, and it has to be the right kind of [counterspell] to actually do anything".

I don't like this kind of approach towards the deck; makes more sense playing Manaless (together with the blue Shoal, since pitched to Narco stops RiP / Priest and pitched to GP stops Cage / Relic / DRS).
Was your Firestorm countered? Whatever, you already threw in the bin dredgers and stuff.
