Winter Orb is definitely a card that should be considered in the SB; its effect is very powerful against control. Unfortunately, it is really only useful against control, and often is sometimes not quite strong enough when opponents may have removal for it. Still, it is one of the cards we can play that is most likely to simply win the game. While I like the idea of Tsabo's Web, it's extremely niche and doesn't beat anything Winter Orb doesn't, so I'd recommend sticking with Winter Orb.
The problem with Mind Bomb and Tyrant's Choice is you never get the mode you most want. Contagion isn't terrible, but I think we can do better (I'd rather play Darkblast, personally). Skeletal Scrying has been addressed.
Today, Noah Walker was spotted running Echoing Truth. I think this card should be considered, especially in relation to Ratchet Bomb and Diabolic Edict.
Ratchet Bomb: Answers all Chalices, Moxen, and tokens at once, can scale up, not color-limited.
Echoing Truth: Instant speed, can pitch to Force, clears multiple Chalices, Moxen, or tokens at once, great versus Reanimator and Marit Lage, can momentarily answer Crusader.
Diabolic Edict: Instant speed, great versus Reanimator and Marit Lage, can theoretically remove a TNN or Crusader.
Anyone who is playing multiple Bombs and Edicts should strongly consider whether replacing 1-2 copies with Echoing Truth might improve their SB's flexibility.
