Dissipate
Instant
Counter target spell. If that spell is countered via this ability, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard.

I've tried cards like Spreading Plague and The Abyss, etc in past iterations. The amount of anti-creature cards is very balanced currently and I just need to hold off creatures long enough to play my main accelerated win condition Approach of the Second Sun. The anti-creature cards I have are some of the most powerful and mana efficient ones in magic. I added an extra win condition or two to keep people from outright shutting down my very few win conditions. The last thing I need is someone casting Dissipate or something similar on Approach of the Second Sun and me not having a backup win condition or two. If i streamline any further, the deck will be too easily countered. I wished there were more good 1 card win conditions for Esper colors, but there aren't.

The new Bloomburrow card Vren, the Relentless has the condition "X is the number of creatures your opponents controlled that were exiled this turn."
If I use a counterspell that exiles the creature spell from the stack, such as Dissipate, would that count for Vren's ability?
Essentially a question of "Is a Creature Spell on the stack the same as a Creature permanent?"

Thanks a bunch, RiotRunner789! Very useful advice! I'm keeping Graceful Adept so that if it ever happens, I can make it use Prosthetic Injector. But Library of Leng doesn't affect the hand size does it? Like, what happens if I have more than 7 cards and skip my discard phase? Admiral's Order is great! Same with Dissipate and Unwind! However, I do enjoy cards that tie up mana the most. It's a win-win because if they choose not to pay the cost, they end up losing their card. And, if they can't that's also good. Not just that, but also if they do pay the cost, it makes it to where they can't spend much mana on anything else.

I'd swap Graceful Adept for Library of Leng. Cheaper, harder to remove, and added bonus against discard.
Cancel for any other counterspell. There are plenty of 1UU with upside such as personal favorite of mine, Admiral's Order. Rewind, Dissipate, Unwind and Negate are also solid budget options. Personally not a fan of Mana Leak-esk counters since if an opponent has a ton of Mana, they become useless. Also, Defense Grid is an odd choice for a blue deck since it hurts your own counters on your opponents turn.
I'd consider trying to find room for a card or cards like Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa, and The Indomitable.
Single protection to consider, Mithril Coat is amazing, Commander's Plate always pulls a ton of weight in mon color (may hurt commander's unblockable agaimst another monoblue but otherwise really helps), Dive Down not amazing, just a pet card when it was in standard.

Really cool concept! I have a few ideas.
Blitz of the Thunder-Raptor helps deal with planeswalkers, and might perform better than Chaos Warp. Run Brittle Blast over Thunderous Wrath.
Not sure about Dismiss into Dream. How many single-target spells or effects are you running? I count 6.
Mana Drain over Dissipate: Having resources for damage later is almost always going to serve you more. Plus, it's a great target for Isochron Scepter.
Speaking of walkers, definitely replace Cloud Key with Rowan, Scholar of Sparks Flip. It's straight up better. Strongly consider Ral, Storm Conduit, if only that it ramps up damage with your commander out. Consider Koth, Fire of Resistance as a decent land-fixer (which means you'll draw less lands and have more mana), and Jaya Ballard for simple acceleration.
If your pool is competitive, you could run Back to Basics or at least Blood Moon. This will slow down many decks and give you more time. Adding fetches in your colors (should be 5) means that you can take out 2 islands and 3 mountains and still hit your curve.
Not sure about Breaking Point and Curse of the Swine. Instead, consider Puppet's Verdict and either Winter's Chill or Cyclonic Rift.
Reins of Power and Insurrection could replace Chain Reaction and Incite Rebellion, allowing you to use those resources against opponents and kill them, which would have the added benefit of removing their creatures.
I know you don't want to run any creatures, but Stuffy Doll is a decent deterrent and is too funny not to leave out.

I love Mandate of Peace. It's a great Fog, a good Silence, and even works as an okay Dissipate if a spell is on the stack during combat.

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse in for Sanctuary Warden because I'm on color so why not? I think Dissipate is my counterspell of choice for now.

Vicarian thanks for checking it out.
What do you think of cheaper counter spells like Essence Scatter and Stern Dismissal over Dissipate and Ertai's Scorn?
