Im hesitant to whether mainboarding 3x Stifle is worth it. They are probably better off in the sideboard. If i take them out there are 3 spots to fill.

What 3 cards would you add? I have some ideas, but it would be interesting to see what you think.

I mean Stifle is really just used for tagging fetchlands right? Seems like it could be of some use to you.

Fetchlands, wasteland, storm trigger, stoneforge, rec sage and other stuff.. Its pretty handy but is it worth 3 spots in the main?

What are your thoughts on Howling Mine effects? That was one of the go-to cards in the old Stasis lists because your opponent wouldn't get to cast the extra cards.

The other cards I can think of are Land Tax, Ensnare/Thwart/Fathom Seer, Daze, or going up to 4 copies of Ponder and adding Preordain. Flusterstorm isn't bad either because it will win a lot of counter wars for you to resolve Ral Zarek and Stasis.

Stifle seems out of place in a prison deck. I think ponder is the correct call to help shape your consistency.

In a previous version i had 1x Moat and 2x Enlightened Tutor where i now have Stifle. Enlightened Tutor could find Stasis, Black Vise and Moat, but i took it out because it is a bit slow. Since then ive added the 3x Ponder, so now the chance of getting to draw the card you get with e-tutor has increased a bit..

Maybe bring back Enlightened Tutor and Moat? e-tutor is very nice after sideboard as well..
