A deck that counters, bounces, and incapacitates the opponent's creatures until they're ready to be taken over and used against their controllers! Lots of spell copying for maximum impact, and if the opponent has no creatures to take or found a way around this, all the relevant cards will be sideboarded out for burn and additional blue madness! (Skirsdag Cultist, Mortarpod, and Stitcher's Apprentice are there to destroy the opponent's creatures right after I use 'em and to get a little extra nudge to help me win)

Suggestions welcomed, I want to use this deck at an FNM soon. Due to budget, however, I can't get any mythics or more dual-lands. Other than that, feel free to shoot whatever wild ideas you've got!
