drowninja123 White Sun's Zenith is the primary plan, the back up is beating them down with animated Celestial Colonnade and the very last resort is Snapcaster Mage beats.

Dragoco The reason for Think Twice over Serum Visions is mainly because of the instant speed draw. The deck primarily wants to play on the opponent's end step. I am definitely willing to try Serum Visions!

Just to chime in,
Serum Visions is great card. No question.
But Think Twice is the right play In draw-go.
Esper Draw Go decks are so awful to play against. Plus 1
Both great for these decks.

If you run into Infect or Naya Burn,
You'll want to have some defense besides Path.
Wall of Omens blocks and cantrips. Side that in maybe.
Echoing Truth for tokens
Hindering Light for
Burn / Jund/ 8-Rack

Sorry to keep chirping in.
Dump the Tectonic Edge. You need a Swamp

BrandonJamesCAC No need to apologize, I enjoy getting feedback to improve decks and I appreciate the help. Thank you for all of the suggestions!

BrandonJamesCAC May I ask what you suggest cutting for Gideon Jura and Lingering Souls. I'm not sure about Hindering Light, it would come in against decks that utilize hand hate and burn, I currently have Leyline of Sanctity for those matches and Negate. Thank you for your time.

Ahhh hmmm....
Well 4 Spell Snare could be 2 or 3
Logic Knot could be 1
My next statement is never popular. But I'll say it anyway.
IMPO, 4x Cryptics Is too many.

Looking good!
I think 2-3 Snapcaster Mage is ideal for this deck. If I were to cut anything from this list for a 3rd Snapcaster Mage, it'd probably be a Spell Snare, Remand or Shadow of Doubt. Logic Knot is just too good in this deck in my opinion.
As far as your SB goes, there are obviously a lot of directions to go there. If you want, you can check out my list for some ideas, though it looks like you have a lot of the sideboard staples (Stony Silence, Thoughtseize, Celestial Purge). I'd probably drop Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir for Baneslayer Angel (unless your meta is heavy blue). Vendilion Clique also does a lot of work, especially against most of our bad matchups.
If you have any questions, let me know :)

tclaw12 Thank you! I have been a fan of the 2/2 split on mage and knot so I think I will keep it that way for now. I looked at your list, I am officially sold on Gideon Jura in the deck, I am thinking of moving the Shadow of Doubts to the side.I do have a few questions regarding your list if you don't mind me asking. How well do the two Ghost Quarters work in the main? Has that caused any issues with the colors? Does that reliably let you cast the Supreme Verdict? Has the Condemn helped much? I haven't been to my LGS in a while, but last time I was there the majority of the decks were Twin and Grixis Delver.Thank you for the comment and the time.

No problem :)
The Ghost Quarters are one of the best lands in the deck in my opinion. The colorless is a little awkward with things like Logic Knot Esper Charm etc, but I've found it's utility to be very worth it. Being able to kill a Inkmoth Nexus or Mutavault, or blow up a Tron land is very important for this deck. Sometimes the mana is a little awkward, but with 21 blue sources and 17 white sources in my list, it usually isn't an issue.
With the banning of Twin, I feel like Condemn is pretty well positioned right now. I cut 1 Spell Snare for the Condemn because I expected less Remand and Snapcaster Mage (though spell snare is still pretty well positioned). Condemn is also really good at protecting Gideon Jura and is great against the new Eldrazi deck.
