Force of Negation
Instant
If it's not your turn, you may exile a blue card from your hand rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Counter target noncreature spell. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard.

jethstriker on Unbalanced Cycles in MtG
2 months ago
The original boon cycle was designed by Richard Garfield himself, and he was aware that Ancestral Recall was significantly more powerful than the rest. That's why he put it at rare while the rest are at common. So right from the beginning the creator of the game himself already set the tone that cycles aren't meant to be created equal. What I don't like in cycles is almost always red gets the short end:
The color-aligned legendary lands of Urza's Saga. Tolarian Academy is broken, followed by powerhouses Gaea's Cradle and Serra's Sanctum, followed far down the line is the decent Phyrexian Tower, then at the very bottom is Shivan Gorge.
In more recent times they created another "force" cycle in Modern Horizons. Again blue is on top with Force of Negation, followed by Force of Vigor and Force of Despair. Then once again red is at the bottom with white with Force of Rage and Force of Virtue.
The worst I can remember is they omitted red entirely in a cycle. In Mirage they printed 3 tutors: Enlightened Tutor, Mystical Tutor, and Worldly Tutor. The following set came Vampiric Tutor. Then Weatherlight came and there was no red tutor on it. I just personally imagine that Gamble is the unofficial red member of the tutor cycle to clear my mind on this.

I'm actually not a fan of EI in pure control lists. As the person above me said Consult the Star Charts is probably one of the best CA spells right now for control decks after the Ring ban. its better than deluge and brainsurge, its instant speed unlike stock up.
In this meta running Force of Negation is probably necessary. People also are maindecking 1-2 Cling to Dust because its good against phlage goryos and combo reanimator. I also suggest running at least 3 Consign to Memory in the sideboard along with a little more grave hate, maybe Nihil Spellbomb. Fire Magic and Hidetsugu Consumes All Flip are additional sweeper options.
Also I really want to suggest my pet card Nicol Bolas Dragon God but its probably unplayable in modern nowadays

Call the EPA: Enchanted Pod Approach [Primer]

@iischris, Entity Tracker has been a lot better for me than Setessan Champion because it's not seen as much as a threat but also I had to cut some green a white cards for more blue cards to support Force of Negation. I definitely recommend on running both, if nothing else. I have a hard time keeping creatures on the battlefield sometimes and end up cutting more creatures, sometimes to make room for more removal or noncreature stax effects. It depends on how aggressive you want to build around enchantment creatures. I believe Enduring Vitality works better in a token strategy where you can produce more creatures and for this deck, I don't think it works as well as hoped.

Out
2 land (for Abstergo Entertainment and Hydroelectric Specimen Flip)
Confounding Conundrum: decent hate piece but very matchup dependent and easy to play around
Narset, Parter of Veils: while a good hate piece, it may not work well in this deck since you sort of want your opponents drawing to speed up your game plan but maybe also you don't want them drawing into interaction, I can see arguments for and against.
Curse of the Swine: It is also sort of an iffy card, like on paper it looks decent but I stopped running it after seeing it rarely made a difference in every deck I played it. I guess it can get rid of a couple of troublesome creatures so like Narset I am iffy on if dropping it is a good idea or not
Chrome Mox: This deck sort of feels a bit slower and I do not think this gives it any extra speed it needs, Mana Vault would be better
In
Abstergo Entertainment (graveyard hate and can get back something useful)
Lantern/Top deck manipulation pieces: maybe a suggested package
Grave hate
Soul-Guide Lantern / Tormod's Crypt / Ghost Vacuum / Grafdigger's Cage
Hate pieces
Wandering Archaic Flip (protection)
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir (protection in your turn) Interaction
Hydroelectric Specimen Flip (protection)
other
Displacer Kitten: Blink Jace for repeated mill and The Ring for protection
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries: works with your game plan and lets you flip the script and traumatize yourself then +1 him and win.
Brimstone on Unable to read cards because …

Thank you so much Femme_Fatale! The "---" looks like it's exactly what I need!
I am still seeing the foreign Force of Negation so if you are too it may just be missing the 'skip as latest' label in the database.
What you said about the foils also makes perfect sense with cards that only have a foil printings, but I was still noticing some cards that were being incorrectly marked as foil so I poked around for a bit.
I found that on "---" Fabricate is Planechase foil, which I don't think exists, but I do know a non-foil version exist and so does a printing in a newer set (Foundations) that should be shown for both "---" and "Newest".
I also noticed that, when set to "Newest" all of the shocklands correctly show the new Clue foil cards, however when switched to "---" they revert back to their previous printings in Guilds of Ravnica and Ravnica Allegiance, but they are still marked as foil. The source of that might be a bit harder to dig out because it works properly again when set to "Lowest Price" even when showing the same printings for both "---" and "Lowest" (ex. Godless Shrine). This is also true with Titania, Protector of Argoth so it's most likely that the logic that checks if it should be marked as foil, is not properly checking the 'skip as latest' flag.
I don't know if you all actually have a todo list but if you do, maybe you can throws this in as a note next to foil tags so that whoever gets stuck working on that someday has a little head start! :P
Thanks for all of your help!
