Loving the deck. UB Control has been one of my favorites since I watched Guillaume Matignon and Guillaume Wafo Tapa battle it out in Worlds 2010. I have a few suggestions for you. I've found that River of Tears serves as a good 1-2 of, possibly replacing 1-2 Island s . As m12fox mentioned, Darkslick Shores as a 2-3 replacing either 1 Island and 1 Swamp , or 2 Island s and 1 Swamp . Both of these would improve greatly upon the consistency of having the correct mana when needed...especially when you're running Cryptic Command and Hinder that both require more than one blue, and 6 spells/ 13 cards that require double black. Finally (as you want this to be a budget-ish, haha, deck) I would recommend replacing Hinder with Dissipate . Dissipate is better only because it gets the job done just a little bit better than Hinder. Being able to interact with exiled cards in Modern comes up much less often than being able to search your library for cards (evident in the many Birthing Pod decks of today's Modern metagame). I'm sorry that I've gotten a bit carried away. I hope I could help!

Haha no problem! And sorry I haven't gotten back to all of you, I like your suggestions, when I'm not busy i'll change the deck around a bit

Sideboard: Engineered Explosives , maybe Ratchet Bomb , Relic of Progenitus , Grafdigger's Cage , more Cryptic Command .

Why are you running Dissipate at all, in reality? I would either stay with 1-2 cmc counters or go all in with Cryptic Command . It just seems awkward and under powered.

4 Cryptic Command /3 Mana Leak /3 Spell Snare is a really good combo of counters that you can tweak to your play style. Like Jp3ngu1nb0y said, Dissipate is... under powered for modern.

If you can't get dark confidant, Pain Seer is a decent replacement.

No, Pain Seer is not a decent replacement, at all. You don't get to draw any cards off of it until 2 turns after you play it, IF it survives attacking. Phyrexian Arena is better than Pain Seer
