Hi everyone.

I'm trying to build a wizard tribal deck with the cards I own, focused around Docent of Perfection  ^Flip and Sigil Tracer The cards listed here are the ones I want to use, still have to filter them before uploading a built deck. Please help me with ideas (any combo you see among the cards I propose???). Keeping it budget or zero purchase is the main goal.

The cards are:

2 Docent of Perfection  ^Flip

2 Sigil Tracer

2 Jori En, Ruin Diver

3 Descendant of Soramaro

2 Stonybrook Banneret

4 Inspired Sprite

3 Stonybrook Angler

4 Prodigal Pyromancer

2 Fallowsage

4 Puppeteer

2 Waterspout Weavers

4 Ink Dissolver

2 Dakra Mystic

4 Sparkmage Apprentice

4 Voidmage Husher

2 Exultant Cultist

2 Glen Elendra Archmage

2 Omenspeaker

2 Stroke the Flames

2 Bolt of Keranos

3 Wild Slash

2 Sudden Impact

3 Mana Leak

3 Shock

3 Sage's Dousing

2 Quicken

4 Containment Membrane

3 Dream Fracture

2 Double Negative

3 Stream of Unconsciousness

4 Counsel of the Soratami

3 Cancel

2 Hands of Binding

4 Sleep

I think what this deck needs is fewer cards, not more--consistency is looking like a problem. Right now I'm seeing 88 cards before lands. If you want to keep building up, you might look for a Battle of Wits as an alternate win condition.

Hands of Binding seems out of place here. Sparkmage Apprentice is underwhelming; it can probably be taken out.

If you have one, and you're willing to move away from Modern, Patron Wizard would offer you another layer of control, but it may be out of budget. Replace as many Shocks with Lightning Bolts as you can. There are better counterspells than Cancel: Deprive, Dissolve, Dissipate, and that's just in one letter of the alphabet. I like the interaction between Docent of Perfection  ^Flip and Sigil Tracer; if you want to focus on it (and you should), you need 4 of each.

I hope some of this helps!

Without knowing what other cards you have, it's hard to make suggestions, but you might check and see if you have any Guttersnipe (not a wizard, but a serious threat in an instant/sorcery based deck), Distant Melody, Roar of the Crowd, Vedalken AEthermage (love that Wizardcycling), Sage of Fables (combo with Glen Elendra Archmage) or Goblin Electromancer. Spellheart Chimera might be an interesting finisher. Or possibly Information Dealer, Nameless One, or Aphetto Grifter (if the deck isn't meant to be modern legal). Looks like you've got a lot of flying, so maybe Archetype of Imagination or Gravitational Shift? You've got plenty of card draw and some mill, so something like Jace's Erasure or Drowner of Secrets?
