maybe a counterspell or 2?

car Maybe? More of sideboard material for me, especially against Scapeshift.

aven mindsencer is great. it kills scapeshift cause they cants search, and it can be coco'd or cast at intant speed

chord of calling may be good as well. Loxodon smiter is a solid mainboard - a 4/4 cant be countered, cant be discarded.

Aven Mindcensor is good for the board, but as for Loxodon Smiter, I would, but my 3 CMC spot is packed, and those cards are better. Chord of Calling is also sweet, but I would rework the deck if I was going to try to add that. I'd probably try something like Jeff Hoogland's Kiki Chord deck if I was.

I used to play this deck.

Still have japanese foils of most of this I'll trade if there's any chance you are interested or have unlisted higher end trades please let me know.

@AdmiralAbzan However awesome that would be, I would like to build the deck first before I make it look awesome. Thanks though!

i like ur deck man i see alot of eldrzi ran with coco standard but this is a cool take on it modern

Reflector Mage could be awesome in this deck
