+1 Great deck mate, I have a similar one I'm building with AEtherling , can't wait for the last cards to turn up so I can try it out! I reckon this card is going to be amazing!!

I hadn't considered Feeling of Dread or Tamiyo, the Moon Sage , might have to include them if I can find room in mine.

I agree with the above idea of Runechanter's Pike too, its a great card in a deck like this for sure, especially combined with AEtherling unblockable fun!

I'm splashing green for ramp and Fog in my deck, check it out see if there is anything you could inculde at all; Tempo Bant, plus any ideas on it would be appreciated.

My local meta is a bunch of aggro style decks, some reanimator, and some Esper. Against the "Golgari" aggro decks or BUG aggro that has undying creatures it basically slows them down and my removal can be a 1 for 1 again (with a small investment of Rest in Peace ). Rest in Peace also can shut down esper as Snapcaster Mage will have no targets and it shuts off Runechanter's Pike as well.

I'm trying to "tighten up" my sideboard and have some cards be good with multiple scenarios so I can make room for the ones that will ONLY come in vs certain matchups

Purify the Grave was my card of choice if it was against JUST Junk Rites, but in matchups against undying or the aristocrats it seemed better to run Rest in Peace

WalzY on Selesnya Charm vs Equipment boost

If a piece of equipment such as a Runechanter's Pike giving +4/+0 to a 1/3 Augur of Bolas is attached, can a Selesnya Charm then exile the Augur of Bolas as it's >5 power?

This deck really, really needs 4 Bioshift and 1 or two Dirty ! It would work great with your Zegana and master biomancer. See, you pick your +1 counters from Experiment one to Biomancer or Gyre sage, then get Zegana down. Use another Bioshift to put the Zegana counters on Biomancer, return Zegana to your hand, then Put her in again. Right now, the only way you have to put more counters is Plasm Capture , which is unreliable for that matter. I really don't feel like Runechanter's Pike is enough.

Also, you can use Bioshift for Combat utiliy. Got your strong creature destroyed with a black Murder or such? save the counters by moving them elsewhere. Gonna block or attack something big? move the counters.

Try them, they're really easy to get!

Cool list, I agree with the inclusion of Delver of Secrets  Flip it's a much, much better card than Guttersnipe that people seems so keen on suggesting. A couple of thoughts would be have you tested Runechanter's Pike in the deck it maybe worth having them instead of Blistercoil Weird . Also Thought Scour maybe worth taking a look. One thing I'm curious about is the 4x Dispel in the mainboard, i'd have thought Syncopate would be far more useful to be in the main.

Runechanter's Pike probably is a good addition to this deck as a one of. Also, you will want more Think Twice in here, and Unsummon might be better off as Cyclonic Rift , if possible and the Feeling of Dread as Dissipate or Syncopate that exile aspect of them is important in today's meta with a lot of reanimation and scavenging going on.
