Due to you taking so much time to comment on this deck, TriusMalarky I'll explain why I didn't like these other card suggestions.
Runner's Bane - being able to pin down larger creatures is sometimes essential. I've found this to be so against Enchantment decks, for example.
For this reason Bind the Monster is also not a good way to go. I often win games by only one or two points, so every bit of life loss counts. It's one of the reasons why this deck is Mono Blue.
Unquenchable Thirst - I don't wish to add any Deserts to the deck, as that will dilute my mana base too much. It's stretched as is. I also can't afford to have an opponent creature with Vigilance, that I can't lock down.
That leaves our friend, Singing Bell Strike

Fair. On Claustrophobia, I feel like you could consider Runner's Bane or Singing Bell Strike over it, or even Bind the Monster or Unquenchable Thirst , but that's debatable.

Opened some Dragon's Maze this evening and were frankly underwhelmed.
I mean, it was fun to see the Fuse cards again, like Protect / Serve (decent) and our rare:
And we enjoyed seeing the Gatekeepers again, like Opal Lake Gatekeepers. But when your #2 card is Runner's Bane and your Pick 1 is Beetleform Mage, you know it wasn't exactly the best pack ever!
Ah well, there's always tomorrow ...
