what are you going to sipher Hands of Binding or Hidden Strings to? you dont have creatures

Play some Tormented Soul as a cipher slave.

Also, exiling the Aetherling that has a card ciphered on it will cause the cipher ability to go away.

I have a super friends type deck that was also Grixis: Izzet Snapcasters

Tormented Soul will be leaving standard, I under stand I don't have enough creatures to chiper Hidden Strings and Hands of Binding but I believe I have enough to stall until I get creatures, and I know the chiper ability leaves when I exile AEtherling I was going to chiper it to Desecration Demon but I may go a different route because everytime I test it it does take a while to get creatures

and I was thinking about Deathcult Rogue instead of Tormented Soul

Phantom Warrior is the guy you want, not Deathcult Rogue

yeah two Phantom Warrior and one more Ral Zarek and ill see how it works

Also you're gonna want Ashiok in here when he rotates in. He's like a super Nightveil Specter

oh yeah def going to be putting Ashiok in this deck when theros comes out

moved two Hands of Binding to sideboard and add a Swamp and a Doom Blade

I would put Slaughter Games sidebaord rather than the maindeck. I also don't like the cipher cards with such a low creature count. I think I would pull Liliana of the Dark Realms an the 2 Hidden Strings for 2 Jace, Architect of Thought and maybe up to 2 Ral Zarek . I also think that you should have some board wipes in the maindeck. Anger of the Gods is strong, and Curse of the Swine is pretty good. Also Pithing Needle and Ratchet Bomb are good sideboard cards. This deck will fall behind a Sphinx's Revelation deck quickly without card draw, so I would play three or 4 Steam Augury and I personally like Omenspeaker in this deck better than Young Pyromancer , because even though the Pyromancer provides lots of value, it takes some time to get started, and against an aggressive deck it will often just trade to buy a turn in the early game. Omenspeaker blocks 2 power creatures over and over, and it provides some nice card advantage, making two-land hands keepable, and 5 land hands. Also I would play 24 lands, and the full twelve shocklands(Blood Crypt , Watery Grave , and Steam Vents ). Other than those I would play a couple Temple of Deceit and maybe one of each on colour guildgate and the rest basic land. I think you could pull a copy of Dreadbore for a copy of Hero's Downfall in the main, and run another downfall in the sideboard. I would play 4 boardwipes main and three in the side. (Mizzium Mortars doesn't count as a boardwipe). I also like Dissolve and Syncopate better than Essence Scatter .Also to make your creatures a little more spread out on the curve I would take out Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius for Prognostic Sphinx because it's 5 instead of 6 so it doesn't compete with AEtherling , and it is harder to kill and still provides massive card advantage.

Swan Song and Dispel are also good in the sideboard.

whoa ill see what I get out of the booster box im getting sunday and see how much tweaking I can do and I have been seeing that the cipher cards are stupid to play with no creatures in this deck this just got thrown together real quick and ive been trying to make it a little better but ive been working on my mac mill deck so I haven't paid a lot of attention to this one that much
