Counter Spells:

We have a ton of counter magic in this list. Counterspell is the most cut and dry and is obviously very powerful, being mono-u we can easily meet the double-u requirement. Foil is not only a "0 mana" counterspell is also lets us put a large threat into the graveyard to be reanimated. Mirrorshell Crab is not only a big threat is can also be used as a counterspell(and curves nicely into Argivian Restoration on turn 4). Prohibit and Spell Pierce are both nice other options but mostly just filling out the counterspell suite.

Big Bois:

I've already mentioned Mirrorshell Crab, which is a big threat that has the extra health to come out on top vs the meta's top threats like Gurmag Angler and Tolarian Terror, it also has a built in way to get into the graveyard to be reanimated on the cheap. Rust Goliath is about as big of a creature you can find and bc its an artifact, it can be brought back with Argivian Restoration. Notably, you do have to find a way to get it into the graveyard first but both The Modern Age   and Foil can do that. Finally, Spire Golem isnt as big but comes out for free or almost thanks to all of our islands.

Misc:

Lorien Revealed doubles as both a great draw spell to refill or as a tutor for an island. Deep Analysis is a card you can happily discard and generates a lot of card advantage. My favorite inclusion in this deck is Etherium Spinner. It not only makes thopters on all of the obvious things, but the "free" cast of Foil and the 2 mana flashback of Deep Analysis still count as cmc 4 spells and give you a thopter. I'm experimenting with running a copy or 2 of the newly downshifted Dread Return to see if its a playable reanimator from the gy using the tokens from Etherium Spinner(been iffy on it so far)
