Anyway, slightly more on topic: Maro has already said 'no', but I think it would be cool if white got Delay. Maybe for {W}{W}?

Also, a chunk of white's old counterspells could just be reworked with defensive abilities; Vigilant Martyr, Dawn Charm, and Rebuff the Wicked could just give hexproof, while Equinox could give indestructible to all your lands.

White's counterspells are taxing effects, requiring an additional mana payment, and delaying effects, returning spells to the controller's hand or library. The most recent example of this, and the only new one within the last ten years, is Mage's Attendant, and that creates a blue token (but doesn't need blue mana). The other Modern-legal options are Frontline Medic, Lapse of Certainty, and Time Spiral block's Mana Tithe, Rebuff the Wicked, and Dawn Charm. Generally, Time Spiral block shouldn't be considered as a precedent for anything, so that leaves three mono-white counterspells printed since the Modern era. This includes supplemental sets, Commander sets, and other specialty sets.

In my opinion, white counterspells should fall in the "very rare and inefficient" category, and other non-blue colors shouldn't get any counterspells. White is the only non-blue color with any Modern counterspells, with the Time Spiral-block exception of Dash Hopes, and is second behind blue in eternal formats. I think it's worth noting that green takes second place, behind blue, in countering triggered or activated abilities.

Rebuff the Wicked > Mana Tithe

Why use Kataki with 20%+ artifacts?

Thanks SufferFromEDHD. I have made some recent changes and have been enjoying playing the deck with the new additions.

Scroll Rack seems like a great include.

When it comes to counters, I tend to lean towards Dawn Charm, Lapse of Certainty, or Reprieve since they counter most mass removal spells. I have not played with Rebuff the Wicked, though the versatility is intriguing.

Great suggestions I will have to test these ones out.

Solid list.

Crackdown severely punish your opponents for not playing your exact strategy.

Scroll Rack amazing draw engine with that Land Tax.

Rebuff the Wicked protects 85% of your deck.

Enlightened Tutor, Idyllic Tutor can be some nice tools here to search for a needed enchantment...

I also think Crawlspace and Silent Arbiter are solid extra layers of protection for unexpected removal of Eriette of the Charmed Apple...

For protecting Eriette of the Charmed Apple you can also consider Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots alongside Rebuff the Wicked/Apostle's Blessing/Dawn Charm.
