I ran a couple of playtests and the gist was that this deck burns through cards waaaaayyy too fast. Since you're trying to counter something more or less every turn, you end up leaving your mana open and wasting turns doing nothing. To attempt to solve both of these, I'm adding draw engines. There's some other general tuning happening here too.
OUT:
Staff of the Mind Magus,
Gearsmith Guardian,
Pact of Negation
,
Darksteel Citadel,
Broken Concentration,
Implement of Examination,
Traveler's Amulet,
Foundry Inspector,
Efficient Construction,
Anticognition,
Tormod's Crypt,
IN: Universal Solvent, Mystic Archaeologist, Unwind, Umara Wizard Flip, Confirm Suspicions, Arcane Encyclopedia, Trail of Evidence, Ghirapur Orrey, Archaeomancer, Trigon of Thought, Witching Well,
Most of these swaps are just straight up better versions of the same card. Witching Well and Trail of Evidence are just better Implement of Examination and Efficient Construction. Darksteel doesn't really give us any tangible benefit so I swapped it for an MDFC so i can have an extra body some of the time, and beyond that most of the changes were just taking out poor performers and replacing them with draw engines. The only other notable changes are a few counterspell swaps; mana isn't really a problem, to the point where I almost considered just cutting an island, so we can afford to run some slightly more expensive counterspells with some added benefits. The most eye-popping card out is Pact. I like pact, its a really good card, but I think it's too good, to the point that it's inclusion makes this deck no longer count as causal. To play more to the power-level it's probably going to end up playing with, I cut it for Unwind, which is also technically free but more acceptable for a casual game.
