Mono blue Athens style legacy deck. Aim is to re-shock the meta with cards like Back to Basics, which works nicely in cutting decks with greedy mana-bases off of their lands. Also utilizes counter-top to lock down opponents. Does poorly against Nic-Fit due to it containing uncounterable cards like Thrun and Abrupt Decays, which destroy Counterbalance and Back To Basics. Does very well versus reanimator, stone-blade, elves, and goblins.Considering 3 Ancestral Visions main but I'm not sure yet.

Any thoughts or insight will be greatly appreciated!
