Phyrexian Metamorph and Clever Impersonator are cool ways to abuse what your opponents put into play. Worn Powerstone and Thran Dynamo give you more mana to work with. Solemn Simulacrum is a solid value play. Halimar Depths, Ponder, Preordain, and Brainstorm all give you top deck control to better set up Braids plays. If you can swing one, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur is an absurd creature to cheat into play, but he's a tad pricey these days.

You cant actually run Swans of Bryn Argoll due to its split mana cost of blue and white

Blightsteel Colossus and Darksteel Colossus are good options, but maybe not for a budget. Thasa God of the Sea would be a solid addition, the scry trigger is good, her devotion is easy to get in a deck like this, and she can enable (possibly) instant death lol. Stormsurge Kraken is also sweet, but if you are phasing Braids in and out, it might not be worth it. Either way, really cool deck, it looks fun!

Leyline of Anticipation so you can flash braids at the end of their turn and get your stuff first.

Profet93,

it was in there, but then it made the deck look very threatening because its effecting me mostly early game (which sounds dumb, but being friendly to all is the point of the deck, and has saved me multiple times). without it in there, ive been targeted less, look less threatening, and overall made things easier for me negotiation wise seeing as half the deck is very threatening and cant be flashed out on demand. it works much better without it overall

Glad to see someone else runs Dissipation Field. Such an underrated card. I honestly think almost any deck that has blue should have it, but I almost never see it.
