Thanks for your comments! I've trimmed it down to 60 cards and changed the focus to ciphers.

Thanks Bestach, I've heard that before. I tried to do too much with my last deck as well. It's hard to be discerning when they all seem like they have so much potential! I've been reading about the rule of 9 etc. and I'll try and start as simply as possible next time.

Also Invisible Stalker looks great, equipped with a cipher and a Trepanation Blade should be pretty scary!

Both cards in your maybebaord should be 2 drops in the deck IMO. Also when using Cipher cards that are unblockable are where its at. Invisible Stalker Ive seen this guy hit for 20+ damage.

The only reason I wouldn't do Invisible Stalker is because I feel like I don't run enough blue to facilitate him and because I don't really get any bonuses off one extra damage per turn. I do like Mayor of Avabruck  ^Flip , Frontline Medic and Riders of Gavony but what should I take out for the Medic and Mayor?

It would be excellent one of the best ways to improve it. I was running a bant humans then switched to g/w humans http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-trample-militia/. I would also recommend Frontline Medic and maybe even Invisible Stalker . Riders of Gavony may also be a better 4 drop than Hussar Patrol . Lavinia of the Tenth is a new addition to the colors I have yet to try.

A friend of mine tries to play a deck like this against my decks which are aimed to be more competitive and doesn't usually stand a chance because this is too slow to be effective. Now as a starting point this is a good place to be though. (I love playing B/U/W or Esper).

Cards I don't see and things you should consider for this deck, without going into blue.

Render Silent , Dissipate Syncopate Negate ... these are your counterspells and stop your opponent spells from actually hitting the playing field. Cancel is easy to get and common, Render Silent is the only rare in the ones listed. but relatively inexpensive.

Supreme Verdict Detention Sphere and Oblivion Ring are the better cards for removing creatures from play. Planar Cleansing is also great for removing everything and making the board state neutral again (Wiping everything not land).

Oblivion Ring probably the easiest and cheapest to get of these card (also works against opposing plainswalkers).

creature wise, AEtherling is probably the most 'must get' of the current blue creatures. Geist of Saint Traft is really awesome and makes the world a better place for you. Invisible Stalker is a card I'm extremely high on, regardless and easy/cheapest to get of these listed.

lands, the shockland Hallowed Fountain and tap/buddyland Glacial Fortress will make a huge difference in speed vs the guildgate.

Snapcaster Mage is just awesome and extremely powerful and possibly worth the cost.

Sphinx's Revelation gets a very special mention as it is a 'money card' and very awesome and essentially a 'must have' for these colors anytime you run them as a 4 of.

... planeswalkers, Jace, Architect of Thought and Tamiyo, the Moon Sage

Now, that above is to make it more competitive and ready to go to a Friday night Magic and do well as you master the game.

I understand this is the intro deck and you just recently bought it probably with a couple packs to go with it. I can tell you now, you won't win many games with it, but I will suggest some cards at this point that won't change the deck significantly but give you a better chance.

more of the Sunspire Gatekeepers , Hidden Strings , Azorius Charm , Safe Passage , Rootborn Defenses , Basilica Guards , Armory Guard , Inaction Injunction , Hold the Gates , Psychic Spiral , Rapid Hybridization , , Gift of Orzhova , Judge's Familiar

then run more of the uncommons you are currently running. Lyev Skyknight , Ascended Lawmage , Jelenn Sphinx Protect / Serve

You have a great start here.

As a side-note, I did purposefully keep the cards I listed after competitive to be only from the RTR block, that way you don't go buy a bunch of stuff you might not be able to use after september. Becareful with the competitive stuff also that isn't that way, cause some can be expensive and if you can only use it for a few months, might not be worth it in the long run as the price drops after they rotate out (though I did try to name stuff that is used in a lot of formats besides standard regularly.)

The trick is two fold in deck building. first find cards with good value, which is great abilities for the mana cost, this is why uncommons and rares are the most sought after cards, they offer the best value in play terms. Secondly, synergy (which I think you might understand studying this deck), though just to be thorough, synergy is finding the cards with the best abilities that compliment each other, why the Sphinx's Revelation and Snapcaster Mage are some of the best cards for this deck.

Also, if you have access to hexproof creatures (ideally on the low end, Invisible Stalker ) add them!

Money is kind of an issue, so Liliana is probably a bit on the expensive side for me. I used to use the cipher mechanics, with Hands of Binding and Hidden Strings being the most useful to me. I was just struggling to connect the Ciphers every turn consistently.

In regards to Invisible Stalker , I like the card but can't seem to find any (I don't like trading online, and all of the online shops in Britain are silly expensive). I agree with Artful Dodge though, definitely will be changing that for Glaring Spotlight .

Maybe you are right about the Wight of Precinct Six , I took it out due to the lack of creatures my friends tend to play. Maybe i'm just relying too much on the draw to help me out.

Also in regards to the discard card, do you mean Mental Vapors ?

Thanks.
