My first blue deck. Currently still finetuning.
I dislike playing with or against counter cards, so this deck will avoid that. Since I drafted a Rhystic Study, I am thinking about making this deck working with draw/cycling synergy. Astral Drift will be the center of this, because it will allow me to blink target creatures. Sundial of the Infinite will exile creatures of my enemy by ending my turn and skipping the phase where cards would be returned. Library of Leng will make sure that I don't have a maximum hand limit. Am considering Abandoned Sarcophagus as well, or instead.
Wall of Omens is necessary, because it might take some time before I have the right combination of cards on the battlefield. After that, it will be a nice drawing/blinking combination with Astral Drift.
I added Sower of Temptation, because I love the art work of this card. The ability has no synergy, but will broaden the possibilities of my deck.
I added one Ghostly Prison and one Propaganda, but I am not sure yet. It seems like it could delay the game, because my companion already has to pay up for Rhystic Study. I might need to add more cycling cards, so these are probably the first to go.
Drake Haven will be for pumping up 2/2 flying Drake tokens. Plain and simple, not very original.
Update after playing the first time
First of all, Coercive Portal is a lot of fun with multiplayer games, adding a layer of psychology and screwing over other people. Secondly, I misunderstood Library of Leng slightly. I thought it would prevent selfmilling, because it would allow me to discard to the top of my library. Unfortunately, the ability only applies to effects that make you discard a card, and the discarding a card to activate cycling is a cost. Sometimes I forget how nerdy magic really is.
My experiments with Sundial of the Infinite and Abandoned Sarcophagus worked well.
