The basic idea is .... Stall the game and tempo your opponent until you can do all the degenerate things with Deadeye Navigator and Restoration Angel to gain massive advantage. Cast multiple Sphinx's Revelations and win!

Augur of Bolas misses a lot of the time which can hurt a little but he is soo good against all the aggro in the format right now that its worth taking those chances. Snapcaster Mage works well to beef up all the 1of utility spells and recast Sphinx's Revelations etc. 2 seems to be the right count for now but boarding up to 3 against control is generally the plan along with bringing in the other counters in the sidebaord.

Rewind can be back breaking when followed by Restoration Angel in the mirror and it's just generally a useful counter. Dispel catches their revelations off guard, nuff said.

Hooking up Deadeye Navigator and Thragtusk is just degenerate and fun. You can get the same affect with Resto which allows to be a little more choosy about who and what you blink. Blinking Acidic Slime three times in a turn is ... just mean.

So turns out that Prime Speaker Zegana really isn't all that great in this deck ... it can be difficult to have a reasonably sized creature on the board to really power her up. Also one thing I realized is that I should be casting Angel of Serenity and so at least one is making it back in the main. This will also give me a little game against Junk Reanimator (more so than Zegana)

Frilled Oculus on the other hand worked out. There weren't many times when I did cast it that I wanted it to be a Augur and the times that I did want it to be I most likely would have missed any ways (missing isn't always bad ... but its not always good).

Collective Blessing was indeed the blow that I had thought it would be. I boarded it out more than I should have tho as doing so did cost me at least one game (we ended up drawing in turns and I was short by 3 with almost no cards left in my deck)

removing the speakers and going back +1 on Sphinx's Revelation and +1 Angel of Serenity

I may consider going to just one Dissipate but that seems a little scary ... maybe trade one for a Syncopate
