So this is my deck that top 8'ed a gpt at our local store. It was highly meta-specific. Designed to hate on control and take advantage of midrange... not liking the matchup against aggro decks...

Plasm Capture was the basis of the deck, your ramp becomes my ramp etc...

With the cut-down of etb effects in standard at the moment, I had very few to choose from, nothing particularly bomb-y. I liked the banning of Sylvan Primordial in edh... it kinda highlighted how good the card was. Now it holds the line against Desecration Demon, sets sphinxes revelation back a card and a life, blows up pesky planeswalkers, brings you closer to hardcasting the rest of your deck AND deals with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx/locks greedy opponents out of colours. The amount of card advantage you get is pretty absurd... considering Detention Sphere answers a lot of your threats (the number of times jace goes under one after he's done that -2 or they've exiled a primordial again), it also gives them more value thanks to the rifts and primordials.

Any suggestions against aggro outside of adding a 3rd colour would be ideal.
