Yawgmoth's Edict

Enchantment

Whenever an opponent plays a white spell, that player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

is there a particular format you're going for (since you mentioned FNM)? or just casual? im assuming you're not playing standard

if modern: i'd replace terminate with Go for the Throat and sideboard Smash to Smithereens against affinity.

maybe a couple of funny life gain spells (maybe instead of Ruthless Ripper? it would be hilarious with a Tainted Remedy out as a back up win con and could also keep you in the game for longer in case you don't find the combo early. it would be funny to reanimate a creature with Whip of Erebos, and Yawgmoth's Edict would be a cool sb tech (unless you're playing modern)

Good points, NotSoLuckyLydia, here are the answers:

Sinister concoction is bad. It's card disadvantage, which is, to say the least, bad in a tempo deck.

That's what the Dark Confidant is for. Moreover, imagine an instant that says:

"As aditional cost to play this card, discard a card from your hand.

Destroy target creature".

I guess that would be something worth considering, especially when it comes in synergy with Tarmogoyf and Deathrite Shaman.

Even moreso, you're a tapout deck. You don't particularly WANT to have mana up on your opponent's turn, that's why your counters are usually free.

Fair, but not completely true. With all mana fixing, ability of Deathrite Shaman and free counterspells you mentioned that's quite common to have open mana at mine disposal. If it weren't, there would be no point of running things like Brainstorm, Disfigure or, mentioned by yourself, Vendetta and Yawgmoth's Edict.

Ana Sanctuary is um... Interesting? It doesn't support the game plan of disruption, nor support that by drawing you cards, so what does it actually offer?

I suggest you read the card again, as well as my explanation of it's use in this type of deck.

Why not play Tombstalker? Or Gurmag Angler?

Dark Confidant that's way

Little Jace is actually very good. But the typical Team America configuration is simply better served by Dark Confidant.

Yep, that was my first (and even second) thought, but I'm still considering him.

If you want to play a jace deck, there are quite a few of them out there.

Haven't seen one in competitive legacy so far. But even if there are such, I'm not interested in Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  Flip as such. Even if I would use him in BUG, that would also be a one-two of at best, so supportive role is all I could be interested in and that is all about what I'm thinking when discussing his optional value for the deck.
