I got the idea from daddydrewgt 's Mono Blue Stasis deck. This time, though, I made it tournament legal and improved it. ~Strategy~ Basically, you want to delay your opponent as much as possible until you get your Stasis. This includes countering their spells and Boomeranging lands/creatures. Frozen Aether seals the deal and Howling Mine/Ancestral Vision allows you to have sufficient discard cards for Forsaken City/Force of Will, in addition to helping you get your combo cards out faster. Also, you can Boomerang your Stasis if you don't have a Forsaken City/Vedalken Mastermind out. ~Card Search~ Muddle the Mixture will help you get your stasis and/or Vedalken Mastermind out (or as a third option, howling mine), in addition to of course countering spells. Brainstorm and Ponder will also help (I'm still debating which is better for this deck). ~Win Condition~ Between your 2 Iron Maidens and your 1 Jace, you should be able to either kill your opponent or empty his/her library. Also, In case it wasn't obvious, the thwart is to counter when tapped out AND to bring tapped islands into your hand if you need to pay for stasis. Feedback is appreciated. ~Sideboard (I probably need the most help here)~ Tormod's should be obvious. Can you replaced with Progenitus if need be. Spell pierce is in case you go against heavy counter-spell decks. Stifle can be used to counter Wastelands if you are losing too many Foresaken Cities. Divert and Blue elemental blast are for nasty red decks. I might consider replacing one or more of those cards for Progenituses, though. Finally, Feldon's Cane is in case you go against discard decks. Your comments are appreciated. Thank you for reading.

E. Plauge is weak. Chalice of the Void shuts down elves and GobGob's better, though it does muck with your spells.Extirpate should be Surgical Extraction; Free spells are good spells.Damnation would be better as Ensnare; with Stasis on board it's as good, better really, because it returns lands to feed Stasis.Cut your black, if you can; Green can be strong (Add Rootmaze?), and it gives you something to win with, though Azor's Electors come to mind for a more mono-blue core: Hard to remove when you've locked down, puts them on a clock.I'm tempted to tell you to cut the visions for Gitaxian Probe, because, you know, free draw with a hand peek. Probably a play style preference here.Don't run four of of Daze; put in two Misdirections. Generally, there are more useful in most situations, and they let you steal wonderful things like, say... Jace?Tanglewire is strong in this deck, it's almost a timewalk. Perhaps run it?Ditch two lands for Ancient Tomb's, getting one on turn two gives you a Tanglewire on turn two, which pretty much can win the game right there. Also drop Lotus Petals in here; they may seem a bit loose, but turn one Frozen AEther is hard to say no to. The mastermind seems really really lose, in general, he's really easy to remove. The Howling Mines are also really weak in this, no offense; you're giving them card advantage to find a way to break out. I'd give yourself some Boomerangs; more things to return your stasis and more wiggle room to bounce land or things that are bothering you.On the aside, if you are running green, thrown in Crop Rotation, Maze of Ith and A few more utility lands; Academy Ruin's if you're gonna go with tanglewire, and Glacial Chasm are good choices. The latter seems kinda iffy on first read, but rotating out a island for a superfog seems pretty decent, seeing it is at instant speed.Hopefully this is somewhat helpful to you.
