Creatures:

• Disciple of the Ring- She's like a Blessing , Niblis of the Breath and a Spell Pierce all in one! That seems crazy good to me. I also tend to think of her as a 6 drop so she can protect herself.
• Icefall Regent- Superb 5 drop that locks down a creature and is pretty good at protecting itself. Replaced Silumgar, the Drifting Death.

Instants:

• Anticipate- This card is awesome. Digs 3 to find whatever you might need at the moment.
• Scatter to the Winds - Hard counter with a late game upside.
• Dig Through Time- Massive advantage. Able to search for our 1 or 2 ofs.
• Spell Shrivel- Used to be Silumgar's Scorn, but with only 2 dragons in the deck it made sense to swap out.
• Ultimate Price - hits several threats that manage to slip through.
• Murderous Cut- 1 of destroy effect, nothing fancy.
• Complete Disregard - Formerly Hero's Downfall. I don't like the fact that Ruinous Path is scorcery speed. So I oped for general creature removal and put a few Path's in the side.
• Weave Fate - Instant Speed Card Draw. I'm already missing Jace's Ingenuity .

Sorcery:

• Crux of Fate- Sweeper for dragons.
• Languish- Aggro Sweeper. Disciple can be pumped to avoid if needed.

Enchantments:

• Jace's Sanctum- Testing this thing out. Tapping out on turn 4 for this isn't fun, but every mana saved and every scry after could be worth it.

Lands

• Mage-Ring Network- Cool storage land. Dropped early can help with some mana costs down the road. May be too detracting from the mana base to include.
• Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth- Trying to hit both double blue and double black mana is painful. Urborg helps. Will be sad to see it go in rotation.

Sideboard:

• Bile Blight - Extra sweeper for aggro/goblin decks out there.
• Disdainful Stroke - Better counter for those midrange decks
• Infinite Obliteration - Tech to proactively remove big creature threats. Also considering Stain the Mind for this spot.
• Negate- Good ol' counterspell for the mirror match!
• 3 slot still open on the SB. Any ideas what should go there?

My biggest question is how good is Disciple of the Ring? I want to love the card and I need your help breaking it!

Please reply with any comments, suggestions and/or critique (+1s never hurt either)!
