Deck Description

Filibuster: An action such as a prolonged speech that obstructs progress in a legislative assembly while not technically contravening the required procedures.

Being a dick: Conducting oneself in an inappropriate manner to the annoyance of others.

I thought of this design while in debate class, no surprise there.

Deck discussion for Stalling

I don't have the money for a real mana base so if you do then change it up.

I'd add holy day, and inexorable tide. They go amazingly with this

Normally I would say these are great, but I already have four fogs and that seems to be enough, and inexorable tide is five mana so I'm not so sure about that.

You don't have any fogs. You have a few few preventers, but holy day is one mana. And I'd add at least two inexorable tides since they make you have to stall less.

Dawn Charm does what holy day does and more, as for inexorable tides it's okay but like DedWards pointed out Paradox Haze could be a better choice.

Ghostly Prison - Lowers the chance of you being attacked.
Ethereal Haze - Prevents damage from creatures for the turn, even outside of combat. I prefer this over Holy Day.
Paradox Haze - Gives enchanted player multiple upkeeps. Azor's Elocutors triggers in each of your upkeeps.
Mana Leak - Between this and Render Silent, I'd personally use Mana Leak because it costs {1}{U}; where Render Silent costs {W}{U}{U}.

If you don't have money for the rare fetch lands, here's a few alternatives:
Evolving Wilds
Terramorphic Expanse
Bant Panorama
Esper Panorama

Also, Azorius Guildgate enters the battlefield tapped without giving you a bonus; nor do you have anything that cares for the land being a Gate, so I suggest removing it or replacing it with Sejiri Refuge or Tranquil Cove as they at least let you gain 1 life.

Yeah the gates are just there because that's all I got. Paradox Haze sounds hilarious I'm adding it for sure.

I'm not the best at magic but I think palliation accord would work really well or at least help. maybe if you paired it with gigadrowse? Just another option you can try maybe. Some other cards that might be good are plumes of peace or pacifism.

They're only good against creature heavy decks, so I would only put them in my sideboard.

What about Silence?
Also I think Isochron Scepter would be really really powerful in the deck.

If only Orim's Chant was Modern legal, then it'd be a better option for the Scepter than Silence. But, alas, it's not Modern legal :(

We need a new format just so I can play that card tbh.

Angel's Grace is great for stalling. Especially with isochron scepter. It might be to expensive though

Yeah that's why I didn't put it in the deck list, but you're right it would be nucking futs. I already can't afford the deck as it is :P

I might try a couple counterspells if I were you, and maybe an aetherize or two in the sideboard. In the case of fast aggro decks, you'll need some counters to keep yourself from getting hit hard early, and aetherize is a great sideboard option for if you're facing a deck that wants to overrun you with weenies. Love the Silence and the Aegis of the Gods especially though! They're great choices!

I agree it needs more counter magic I just don't know what to take out
