OLD DECK This was my first attempt at a mono blue EDH deck. I was trying hard not to fall into the stereotypical "all counterspells" strategy and I think I was successful. I focused on creating mana-disparities between myself and my opponents. To do this, I used low-investment clone effects, steal effects, and countermagic to negate my opponents' high-investment plays. If an opponent spent 8 mana on an Earthquake, I would counter it with my 2 mana Counterspell. If they played a 6 mana Sun Titan I would Clone it for 4 mana. If they had a Massacre Wurm I would create 5 of them with Rite of Replication. Also, by repeatable bounce effects I made it very inefficient for my opponents to keep replaying expensive permanents, meanwhile most of my stuff was cheap.

The deck had issues in the win condition department. I leaned on Strata Scythe and Nim Deathmantle to close out the game on an evasive creature or my commander. Infinite Reflection and Rite of Replication were potential game winning powerful effects. The deck was somewhat reliant on the opponent having good creatures to clone or steal though, this deck doesn't function as well against a more control oriented strategy or a combo deck.
