ok but just to get an idea what is the average converted mana cost per creature should i have
November 21, 2013 9:07 p.m.
Average creature cost can be around 3 or 4 in a deck like this. There isn't much else worth playing when all your low slots are taken by counterspells anyway.
4 cmcs are fine. Some 5 cmcs but not many. Very few 6 cmcs. Wouldn't go above 6.

AEtherling is more useful buuuuut Shipbreaker Kraken has a place in this, yes.

It's total mana cost of your creature the CMC of Shipbreaker Kraken is 6. 4 colorless and 2 blue.

You definitely need help against aggro. The deck i'm running would completely wreck this, simply because this deck wouldnt be able to keep up. I'd definitely try to run Cyclonic Rift if it's within your budget. Also, Judge's Familiar would work. Mainly you need a way to hold off threats early and a reliable win con late game like AEtherling It looks like a fun casual deck, but i don't see this being very viable at FNM.

you're probably good at 24, but you could probably stand to drop it down to 22 since it's mono blue
November 21, 2013 9:27 p.m.
You just want to be playing a land every turn. For this reason some control decks go up to 25 - but these are mainly multi-coloured decks. 24 is fine here.

ok i am back and i have fixed it up but i need 2 more cards
November 22, 2013 3:09 p.m.
So your plan is to counter them to death? You can't win without creatures.
November 22, 2013 4:42 p.m.
I think you accidentally put your creature cards in your maybeboard, so fix that up.

LOL i know that is why i have the creatures in my maybe board. i need to know which creatures compliment this deck
November 22, 2013 4:46 p.m.
I'd say 4xPhantom Warrior , 3xOmenspeaker and 4xWall of Frost .
Alos, Judge's Familiar is a great card for this deck.
ChiefBell says... #1
I would recommend something like -
4x Judge's Familiar
3x Essence Scatter
3x Syncopate
4x Dissolve
2-3x Cyclonic Rift
3x AEtherling
3-4x Divination
25-26x Island
Sideboard - 2-3x Negate
The rest is up to you to decide and tweak and see what you like.
