Stall until you draw a finisher, then drop it and win. The weakest matchups for this deck are theoretically fast aggro and Unburial Rites. In those matchups, you really have to hope that you draw the right answers.

The problem with fast aggro is just that you really need to be able to keep their board down, and if they draw a good opening hand, they might be able to do a lot of damage unless you got spot removal in your opening hand. Against this matchup, board in Judge's Familiar, Pillar of Flame , and Snapcaster Mage. These should all do a good job of keeping your opponent's creatures down so that they can't kill you. Board out Dissipate, Detention Sphere, Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, and 1x Sphinx's Revelation.

The problem with Unburial Rites is just that their cards have an enormous amount of value, so it extremely difficult to keep them down. Board in Dissipate, Negate, Purify the Grave , Snapcaster Mage, and Turn / Burn. These should all do a good job of reducing the value of your opponent's cards. Board out Detention Sphere, Searing Spear and Essence Scatter, Mizzium Mortars, and Ral Zarek.

I recommend Oblivion Ring for the mirror matchup and an extra Snapcaster Mage or Turn / Burn.

Jace, Memory Adept is for slower matchups to create more threats for your opponent.
