Deck to confuse and overwhelm by countering, stealing and copying opponents creatures and cards.

Basic idea of the deck is to delay any sort of creatures with Wall of Frost, it is a huge body that people generally don't want to attack into because of the freeze, counter any spells that otherwise can't be handled, and then copy or steal the best creature/card they put out.

Once that has happened, it's time to return everything to their hand and force them to start again, using AEtherspouts or Profaner of the Dead.

Edit

After a couple weeks playing this deck, I've made a few changes that I think will help it out a fair bit. I've swapped out the Silumgar Sorcerers for Nullify, to help with early game removal (as you rarely do something before turn 3 at this point).

Divinations have been taken out for 2 Jaces Ingenuity, and a 4th Anticipate, which really really helps in the early game. Jaces Ingenuity is better for end-of-turn play so you still have the option of countering anything on their turn instead, Divination was just giving no choice in that matter.

Last major change is removing the Sirens and moving Icefall Regent over to the main board. I found I was almost constantly sideboarding that card in, and Sirens were rarely getting played for the stealing cost, they were more often chump blockers in early game.

Last thing is trying to tweak the sideboard. This deck does fairly well against midrange decks, it has some problems versus super-aggro and control, so a lot of cards that can side in against creature heavy aggro, and a few to side in against control - haven't tested Pearl Lake Ancient yet against control, but it should be a good fit. Other possibility is getting a second Ugin in against control, though I'll see how the Pearls go first.
