VitsEco That is a replacement for Ceremonious Rejection. Thank you.

Frankly Consign to Memory is just a newer version of Ceremonious Rejection, if you ask me its good, but its overvalued. Both are extreme narrow spells.
I was always of the opinion that having a lot of catch all answers, is superior. Even if they are weaker in a specific use case, than silver bullets. As a silver bullet hiding somewhere in your 53, is gonna affect the game way less, than the "meh" but relevant cards in hand.
Hence why i say Counterspell, Force of Negation and the likes are superior.
Aside from "on cast" triggers of eldrazi, in an eldrazi heavy meta, i would say consign to memory is a deckbuilding trap. If you need a counterspell, in most matchups it only works against the ring. And as a "counter ability" card its one of the worst, as the alternatives like Tishana's Tidebinder are superior.

Bonecrusher Giant is fine, but again, its just one of the million "stop lifegain & damage prevention" effects of red.
All of which are useful only in a very narrow range of situations.
They are relevant in matchups where you are racing the one ring, and that single fog turn makes or breaks the game. Even for burn, letting the ring player untap, and burning them out on upkeep (after protection from everything worn off) is still an option. The cards i listed are applicable in way more situations than helping in not slowing down with the laft 5 lifepoints.

If you actually playtest the deck, many times your hand is not that great.

1. 8 of your tutors put the card only on the top of your library rather than into your hand. I suggest you play Demonic Tutor rather than Imperial Seal.
2. You have problems with color fixing. You end up being unable to play your cards because you don't have right combination of mana. If your plan is solely to play only one turn, then Lotus Petal is better than Mox Jet or Mox Sapphire.
3. With Dark Ritual and 8 Lotuses, It's reasonable to get to 5-6 black mana. Some 2 Ad Nauseam and/or Yawgmoth's Bargain would improve your consistency.
4. Ceremonious Rejection looks bad. If your only plan is to play for one turn, play Pact of Negation. You'll save 1 mana and have more possible targets. It's better if you start the game. If your opponent starts the game, Ceremonious Rejection only works if you have Leyline of Anticipation. And if you have that, you should able to win even with Pact of Negation trigger.
5. Play 4 Gitaxian Probe and 4 Street Wraith. Your deck doesn't care for life, and you need to get your relevant cards.
6. If you are allowed to play 4 Black Lotus and 4 Blacker Lotus, then I assume anything is playable. If so, you forgot to include the most powerful card in the entire history - Contract from Below

Deck looks good, you have almost nothing to do on turn one. I'd suggest adding something like Spell Pierce or taking Void Snare out of your sideboard. I'd also recommend adding Ceremonious Rejection to your sideboard if you are worried about karn and pithing needle. This will stop both of those threats. Hope this helps

I agree... I can certainly see justification/meta calls as to why other options like Spell Snare/Ceremonious Rejection/Stubborn Denial would be preferred.

But dang this seem like a neat tool to consider now.

Delphen7 on How to Handle Quality Changes …

Say Player A casts Moonlace on some nonpermanent spell, such as Lightning Bolt (that is controlled by Player B).

Moonlace has these rulings: "Moonlace’s effect doesn’t wear off." and "If Moonlace is cast on a spell that becomes a permanent, the permanent will enter the battlefield colorless and will remain colorless until it leaves the battlefield (or until another effect changes its color) ". Since Lightning Bolt is not a permanent, it will ostensibly be colorless in the graveyard.

Say Player B casts another Lightning Bolt. There is now a colored Bolt, and a colorless Bolt in the graveyard. If any player casts a shuffle effect, such as Blessed Respite, there is now no way to differentiate the two bolts from each other.

Since it could matter which bolt is which (For an effect like Ceremonious Rejection), how does the game handle differentiating each one?

Hi man!

Nice list, but.. I have some things you may have to change to make the deck really work. Mono blue can be really good if you know how to build it. For example Merfolk is better in Mono blue then Simic (green/blue) because of the tempo you have.

Mainboard: -4 Cryptic Command -1 Archmage's Charm -2 Remand -4 Scalding Tarn -1 Snapcaster Mage +4 Consider +1 Force of Negation +1 Murktide Regent +2 Demilich +2 Island +2 Fiery Islet

Sideboard: -2 Spell Snare -2 Vendilion Clique -1 Negate -1 Remand -1 Force of Negation -1 Annul -1 Murktide Regent -2 Ceremonious Rejection +2 Hurkyl's Recall +2 Thing in the Ice  ^Flip +1 Dispel +2 Malevolent Hermit  ^Flip +2 Tormod's Crypt +1 Spell Pierce +1 Narset, Parter of Veils

Try this out, all the changes I made in this list has their reasons. Some cards have their special power on their own. Make use of more cheap and better counterspells. Try it out and ofcourse this are tips what you can do better with mono blue delver. I play it myself and it's great.
