Flavuss on feeling cute , might sunburst later

mjbiffi Thank you for your comment. I was considering Engineered Explosives and Utopia Sprawl as a faster and more expensive Dawn's Reflection

what do you think about Golos, Tireless Pilgrim?

Engineered Explosives, Utopia Sprawl and Abundant Growth might be good in here

Filler? Crop Rotation is a better tutor than Grim Tutor in this list. The sole purpose of this deck is to find Maze's End. For 1 green mana it's in play ready to go.

Chalice of the Void and Engineered Explosives are the stax/control cards that "fit" your strategy. Cost 0 and answer problems that this fragile glass cannon will encounter.

Pact of Negation is in this list to protect Ad Nauseam. This deck folds to Meddling Mage/Nevermore type effects. This is why I suggested Slaughter Pact. Costs 0 and solves inevitable problems you will encounter. I saw you added the Channel removal lands for this reason.

The Modern Horizon 1 life/1 card playset of lands was a really good idea. Your mana base is nice and tight now.

Your rocks are more expendable but that Manabond is very important. Hall of Heliod's Generosity for backup support?

Gonna try and suggest some stax taxes again :)

Engineered Explosives low cost/high value and grants global removal from 1-5.

Chalice of the Void can ruin a lot of strategies while your 0 cost lands deck can play unscathed.

These are less expendable than your rocks and would benefit from Academy Ruins for backup support.

Oh, also, some more.

• Luxior, Giada's Gift is going to make a big boy.

• Towashi Guide-Bot is great draw.

• Ratchet Bomb and Engineered Explosives could both be a solid board wipe.

• Myth Realized could just sit in the background, slowly but surely getting more dangerous.

• Solidarity of Heroes could do the same thing, too.

• Lion Sash and Scavenging Ooze are both good graveyard hate. If you add Lion Sash then you have to do something for me. Equip it to Birds of Paradise and get a kill for me.

I mean Bring to Light can also hit cards like Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip, Mila, Crafty Companion  ^Flip and Extus, Oriq Overlord  ^Flip and play their flip sides, or even something like the bust side of Boom / Bust, but I want the card to be playable on its own as well (I don't want to regret drawing it). The closest I can think of in that aspect is Crime / Punishment, but I can't really guarantee I can hit anything with the crime side of the card when I need to. The punishment side of that card makes it playable on its own as a targeted wipe, similar to Engineered Explosives.

As you’ve already eluded to, the sideboard reads more like cards you wanted to fit into your deck, as opposed to being anything helpful towards shoring-up bad matchups. Specifically, i can’t see any reason for any of Cryptic Command, Kraken's Eye, Lone Revenant, Spellskite, Stubborn Denial, Swan Song, or Telepathy. It just feels like a collection of other needless counterspells… you want to be running flexible cards that deal with decks that threaten you - like Damping Sphere for Tron/Storm, graveyard hate for Murktide/Dredge, Engineered Explosives for Rhinos/HammerTime, etc. The exact cards you’ll need will be entirely meta dependant, but if you know what you’re likely to face i can give you some suggestions.

I think 20 lands is fine with 20 cantrips, but what you’re building doesn’t lean well into a control archetype - your creature quantity and spell selection lends into wanting to play a fast tempo based game. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it does suggest that you should dial-back a bit on your quantity of counterspells. Personally i’d say to just run Counterspell and not any of the other counterspells.

i hear you Magicus... gotta have those 0 or 2 MV/CMC artifact removal ready... Engineered Explosives, Qasali Pridemage and Destructive Revelry can answer Chalice of the Void but sometimes we just get hosed... it just be like that sometimes lol.
