Oh, 2 more things...

I'm still not sold on the Geist. I don't think he's reliable enough.

Also, you really want the 2nd Wrath in the board, not the Verdict. What deck are you going to want Wrath effects against that plays counterspells?

The extra Verdict is for Grixis control, Merfolk, Grixis Delver, and Faeries. All of which are considered T1.5 and up.

I may drop the fountain for another Wildwood, however a lot of tapped lands can really hurt the opening hand sometimes.

You're right on the versatility of Cryptic, however that snag is there because i needed more early game stall/removal against decks like Affinity,Infect, and Delver decks. Plus, it helps to bounce my own Snapcaster to replay him later or bounce Geist to get in a free 4/4 angel token hit when he's blocked. Kinda mana-intensive to do that with Cryptic.
