The deck is coming together nicely. Through playtesting I've seen that it can handle early pressure quite nicely, and lategame boardwipes that you can repeatedly snapcast while gaining card advantage goes very well. Let's keep developing as new cards come out, this can be even better!

I was intending to use Chromatic Lantern as a replacement for Pristine Talisman as the source for solid mana ramp. I'll try dropping the Latern out for now, and putting Essence Scatter down to 2, and slipping in 2-3 Negate and see how it playtests. Also, Avacyn was my primary win condition with board clear synergy. Indestructible 8/8 flier, blow up the field, keep swinging unopposed. I can see where Drogskol Reaver would be good though.

Chromatic Lantern isn't bad if u need to ramp and being active.. like lightning angel control played by Tiago Chan in worlds 2006 who played with 6 signets. But from what i can see, you are more playing 'counters-draw-go' until you put a bomb in play, So technically the draw spells need to be instant speed. I personally think that there are good draw spells but in sorcery speed (which i don't think it will fit in your deck). So i think it always depends how the style of the deck is. Also it depends on the meta-game of your environment.. If for example everyone plays creatures/aggro, then for sure Essence Scatter will be better and the fourth Supreme Verdict will be good.

What about Thought Scour over Think Twice?

Think Twice can be flashed back, so it's a consistent flow of cards when I need it. I dunno. Thought Scour is a possibility thought.

I realize now that was a stupid comment in every way, so I apologize. I didn't pay attention to the color of Counterflux, again my bad.
