Nice! I am very satisfied with your choices. At prerelease, I pulled the Aven Interrupter, Final Showdown, and Claim Jumper and put them in right away trying to guesses what you would have taken out. I replaced the instant Board wipe with Farewell, took out Reprieve for the plot counter, and the Loyal Warhound for the white explosive vegetation. I will more than likely do the same replacements you made based off your explanations.

Some thoughts:

• considering how high your mana curve is, i’d be expecting 23 lands minimum.

• Reprieve feels very weak here when the game’s going to be grindy - the opponents still going to be able to cast their spell easy-enough.

• you have almost nothing to do turn 1, imo you need some mire early-game plays - stuff like Thraben Inspector should fit your budget and go well here.

Thanks SufferFromEDHD. I have made some recent changes and have been enjoying playing the deck with the new additions.

Scroll Rack seems like a great include.

When it comes to counters, I tend to lean towards Dawn Charm, Lapse of Certainty, or Reprieve since they counter most mass removal spells. I have not played with Rebuff the Wicked, though the versatility is intriguing.

Great suggestions I will have to test these ones out.

Isochron Scepter with a counterspell or silence.

More suggestions: Dovin's Veto, SwanSong, An Offer You Can't Refuse, Counterspell, Rhystic Study, Remand, Reprieve, Unwind.

The deck currently lacks card advantage, and especially engines that stay on board. Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel isn't card advantage, but is selection, and can end up casting some of your top end for free. The Reality Chip is very impressive as a Future Sight that you can pay for across multiple turns and hold up mana/spend it on other things. Dragonlord Ojutai and Iymrith, Desert Doom have been impressive to me as card advantage/beaters to close games.

• There's no reason to play three colors. There are enough bounce spells in blue to get rid of Reprieve. Eye of Nowhere is good enough. Besides, bouncing a land may be more damaging than bouncing a spell.
• Add an additional Kami of the Crescent Moon. It's a cheap draw that can also block. I know it's legendary, but it's definitely worth to have it in every game, and have a replacement if removed.
• Add one Mikokoro, Center of the Sea
• When this deck was Standard, it used to play Exhaustion, which buys you time. With all the Howling Mine, this is effectively a Time Walk
• Silver Myr and Temporal Adept are just bad.

• You should be playing Vraan, Executioner Thane.
• Replace Snowfield Sinkhole with a Fetid Heath or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. You have too much white mana and many spells that cost two black mana.
• Don't play Scout's Warning and Reprieve. It's useless garbage not consistent with the rest of the deck.
• I suggest Knight of the Ebon Legion. You are actually able to deliberately lose life with Thoughtseize, Smallpox, fetch and shock lands. Once you play that, you can also play Dismember which may be used to lose 4 life.
• Technically you could play this more as an Aristocrats combo deck with Indulgent Aristocrat and additional copies of Kalastria Highborn and Viscera Seer. White part of the deck could be then dropped.
