Seems nice deck. Thoughts of adding counterspells into deck?

Remand: Best tempo counterspell in modern. Timewalk and delay opponent while hopefully draw combo pieces.

Dispel: Protect kiki from removal.

I like the Dispelidea and I've certainly thought about adding 1 copy to the main. My sideboard copy has come up big in a good number of games.

While I think Remand is a fine card in general, it doesn't jive with my long game control plan. Also, have you ever tried it against the likes of Bant Eldrazi or Death's Shadow? If Bant Eldrazi doesn't get a Cavern of Souls, it can be OK. Leaving the card in their hand really stings though as you aren't likely to draw into a removal for a 4/4 or 5/5. Against Death's Shadow, their CMC is so low that, as the game goes on, your opponent is likely to be able to just recast whatever you hit with Remand.

I'm hoping for playable countermagic in Amonkhet. If nothing shows, I think I'll add 2 copies of Logic Knot to my main since I'm not using my graveyard for much else.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Agreed that Remand is not the best against Cavern of Soul's deck and some cheap aggro deck like affinity/death's shadow. Possible in game 2 would side out. But its draw gives a chance to closer to assemble combo pieces or combo protects if you already gather the combos. Remand is a hit to big mana and some combo decks such as tron, ad nauseam and ancestral vision decks.

Btw, logic knot seems cool!

Well, that's a thought of mine :)
