Removal

Caustic Caterpillar, In lists that are this tight it's best to have cards that double up in purpose. here we have a card drawing dork that can also take out most any problem non-creature permanent. Can also be grabbed by any creature tutor if you're in a jam.

Cyclonic Rift, The gold standard of Blue removal.

Snap, Tempo-less creature removal. (I'm a little iffy on this one.)

Waterfront Bouncer, A classic piece of any Edric list, I didn't quite get how great this card was until I played with it. For the low price of and a card from your already overfilled hand, you can bounce any creature that's bothering you, forever.
