This is a deck that I had ran last week at fnm and went 4-2. Made a few adjustments and this is what I've got. This deck focuses on countering everything your opponent try's to bring out and burn whatever creature they bring out.

So my counters ...
Dissolve (scry to get closer to what I need).
Dissipate (helps exile any unwanted reanimators).
Mindswipe (counter and burn).
Nullify ( for early creature threats such as rabble master.
Cancel

For burn...
Magma jet (burn and scry). Lightning strike.

Card draw...
Treasure cruise. Jace's ingenuity. Dig through time.

Board control...
Aethersprouts ( using till I get 4 perilous vaults)

Win con...

Pearl lake ancient. Keranos (burn, and card draw). Or just burn to death.

Sideboard...
Clever impersonator (to copy anything I find useful). Spellheart chimera big creature cheap to cast. Steam augury to refill hand and to fill up for delve. Prognostic sphinx (flying,scry 3, annoying to get rid of). Jace for some more control.

Any tips, feedback and ideas much appreciated
