This deck has a lot of answers and keeps the rest of the table trying to keep up! Great deck, sTakkato!

Hey, have you thought about using Aladdin's Ring, it's a better outlet than proteus staff. While you're at it, you can use Tower of Fortunes to get the extra card draw you need too!

Hey, have you thought about changing out Mana Drain for Spell Swindle¿

Torpor Orb Should be included in this list. Since you're not running the typical Drake/Mage/Spellseeker creatures, Torpor Orb provides this build with an OUTSTANDING stax piece which shuts down multiple decks.

I chose not to include Torpor Orb for two reasons.

1. There are not too many critical targets for Torpor Orb. Yes, it stops Thassa's Oracle. However, experienced players easily pivot their wincon. If you are trying to fight against Consulation/Fish Hulk, counterspells are good enough. Are there any relevant competitive decks that get SHUT DOWN by Torpor Orb? Not in my local meta, at least. I think Torpor Orb effect is too narrow.

2. Urza's ETB effect is very very important. Construct is usually used as the cost for Polymorphand Proteus Staff.
