Even though this is a heavy-handed control deck, I'm looking to play this in a casual format as the theme is what dominates this deck build.
That theme is MEAN DAD.

Mean Dad plays Capsize and says, "Go to your room."
Mean Dad plays Sleep and says, "Go to bed!"
Mean Dad plays Confiscate and says, "Give me that, before your hurt yourself!"

When playing Kaho, I'll tutor up a counterspell, a bounce spell, and a third spell based on my need at the time. After using her ability to get the first two spells played, I'll use the bounce to return her to my hand so that I can repeat the process.
Riptide Laboratory, Conjurer's Closet, Sunken Hope , or Temporal Adept let me skip the obligatory bounce spell at the end of my rotation.
Cryptic Command, Spell Crumple , and Put Away are really useful in rotation. Spell Crumple puts itself back into my library to be tutored up, Cryptic Command lets me get two good effects for 4, and Put Away puts Cryptic Command back in my library. Use Reito Lantern or Stream of Consciousness put the Put Away back in my library. Mean Dad prefers it when you recycle!

If you have any Mean Dad stories, please share, and I will try and include them in my deck.
