Turn Aside

Instant

Counter target spell that targets a permanent you control.

Whoa thank you Profet93!

Yep, Remand is an upgrade of Miscast and better than Turn Aside which I had also tested in that spot.

Treasure Mage is my failsafe to find Planar Bridge if a win condition can't be found otherwise and my get out of jail card Platinum Angel which is a budget version of Darksteel Forge. Sometimes my group targets me heavily so this is likely a utility slot for other players. Would you drop all three for another plan?

I appreciate your ideas!

Might swap Turn Aside for Spreading Seas so I have better game against Tron, Ponza & Gates.

No problem =). Tormenting Voice is not bad, though I would suggest Thrill of Possibility or Cathartic Pyre instead. The first one is the same card, but at instant speed and the second one gives an option of burn when you need it. If you're looking for something similar to Hindering Light, you can try Outwit or Turn Aside, which are a bit more specific, but cost less. If you don't mind the double blue cost you can try Redirect, which also fits the theme and is particularly good against burn. I really wish Serene Master was modern legal, he looks like would've fit perfectly here.

Rapacious Dragon?

Confound, Diplomatic Escort, Intervene, Keep Safe, Siren Stormtamer, and Turn Aside are some counterspells I have found that could help you.

In both cases, the Phantasmal Bear dies. The effect targeting it doesn't need to be resolved, it just needs to be announced. The act of targeting is the actual trigger for sacrificing the Bear and its illusionary friends.

  1. Opponent's Giant Growth targets Bear

  2. Bear's sacrifice ability goes on the stack

  3. You cast an overloaded Mizzium Skin or Turn Aside

  4. Skin/Turn resolves, Bear gets hexproof or Growth gets countered

  5. Bear's sacrifice ability resolves, Bear gets sacrificed

Lets say I have a Phantasmal Bear on the battlefield. If they cast a Giant Growth on it, and i cast an Overloaded Mizzium Skin, does my Phantasmal Bear die or does their spell fizzle before the trigger? Lets do the same scenario but i counter their Giant Growth with a Dispel or a Turn Aside. Does my Bear die, or does their spell fizzle and my Bear stick around?

I feel like countermagic is the way to go! It's not dead outside of protection, there are some efficient options in the format, and you're in blue... seems viable.

As far as options go, Flusterstorm, Miscast, Spell Pierce, Swan Song, even Turn Aside work for your situation.

Asmoeus here are some suggestions around what I would do to improve the deck on a budget

Lands

Artifact

  • Look decent. Gilded Lotus does have a high mana cost so would keep an eye on how often you cast it.

Sorcery

  • Remove Creative Technique (with your lower mana curve odds of you revealing something really good is low) > Add Arcane Denial as a good, cheap counter spell
  • Remove Fiery Encore (expensive and requires you to discard a high mana cost card to deal decent damage) > Add Solve the Equation (Tutor for the spell you need)

Creature

  • Remove Charmbreaker Devils (returning spell at random will not often get what you need, and does not have a way to get around blockers) > Add Runaway Steam-Kin (Will help you cast more spells and give you mana)

Other Considerations
