Tamiyo Guttersnipe (Modern MTG Deck)

Great for keeping the enemy at bay with counter and damage spells while feeding your hand when you've got guttersnipe and tandem lookout soulbonded together on the battlefield. I intend to cipher Stolen Identity so if I can't overpower them for the win with combat damage, I can always wear them down with guttersnipe and a stolen identity ciphered creature like latchseeker or invisible stalker. Talrand, Sky Summoner keeps my battlefield nice and full but I have yet to find an efficient way to power them up within the color restrictions of this deck. Dual Casting and Curse of Echoes used to be in the mainboard until I realized that copies will not trigger Guttersnipe or Talrand. Therefore those two enchantments are more for use against other spell heavy decks since damage spells or kill cards can often be devastating against this deck since it slows it down significantly when counters are unavailable. Telepathy is meant to make up for not having these in regular play and give me a sense of control and moderation with the use of things like Counterspell and Lightning Bolt.

I know that several spells must come out and a few creatures added in to balance it out and slim it down. I actually tried adding some white spells and creatures with a Nearside Pilgrim to give Guttersnipe lifelink and add Growing Ranks to piggyback cackling counterparts. But things like that seemed distracting from my initial idea and wasn't working quite as well. Comments would be welcome and appreciated since my ideas are tending to get a little too broad and I have too many things I'd like to add when I know I shouldn't.. lol. I used to have 2 Chandra Firebrands in there too but can't quite tell if that was a good call or not yet since that saved me quite a bit in certain matches when my creatures couldn't overpower the opponent's army.
