What's more good card draw in T2? Aside from Azorius Charm and Think Twice. Also, is Tamiyo worth her spot in the list? Or could I drop her for more board answers?

I think what I'll do for now(thanks again for the card suggestion, what you're saying makes a lot of sense) is slip it in the sideboard. My answers to plays start right off the bat at turn 2, and quickly come into play with Chromatic Lantern . I'll side in card:Judge's Familiar for the matchups where it's high tension with early spells that I desperately need an answer for. Awesome card, I'll see how it works out in playtesting matches! :D

Aren't you worried you have too-few one-drops and that your threats are too expensive for you to protect when you cast them?

Negate and card:Judge's Familiar come in game 2 if early responses and protection are needed, actually.

I would consider taking out Chromatic Lantern, it just doesn't seem to fit in the deck to me. An also main Jude's Familiar Just for a good turn one drop.

Some advice I would give you on this deck is that you don't really need 4 of Avacyn, Angel of Hope . Indestructibility is nice, but it's better to draw control cards or detain things. I would recommend running 3 Archon of the Triumvirate and 2 or 3 Drogskol Reaver , and 2 or 3 Captain of the Watch (produces a lot of bodies) or 2 or 3 Avacyn, Angel of Hope (since you already have 4). Also, why are you running Chromatic Lantern ? Between 8 dual lands, you should be just fine on your colors. I would recommend switching those out for more control or card draw. Finally, 6 board wipes might be too much 3-5 would be good maybe a 2-3 split between Terminus and Supreme Verdict . Also, a pretty good counterspell to bring to your attention is Syncopate . Finally, I think 2 or 3 Snapcaster Mage would be a good addition in such a spell heavy deck. I love Azorius control, and good luck playing with it.

With so much stuff that can't be countered (spells and creatures).. i would suggest that you put more answers on whats on the board instead of countering them. If anything i would suggest to focus on non-creature counterspells instead of essence scatter like negate because if you already have many answers to whats hit on the board, you don't need to counter them compared to spells that can do you serious damages like rakdos's return for example. I also think you need more card advantage (card drawing spells) like think twice. I love Azorius control, always been a great fan of those kind of deck!

I second Frisacra on Chromatic Lantern. I playtested this a couple times and it was definitely dead in my hand.
