I originally had Mindslaver in here. But I found that if I drew the Blightsteel without having Jace to put it back into the deck I was stuck holding him til I drew Jace. So I added a 2nd Blightsteel. I'll experiment wit the counters spells though. Thanks for the help, I'm hoping to make this deck a good tournament deck. BTW, if I can't fit Mindslaver back in, Sideboard it and remove the elixir?

I like this deck. I've been trying to figure out how to use my Blightsteels. And I really like this. I would agree to use Jace TMS.
After thinking about that card, I realized that it would be a pretty good card to use. Especially if I have at least 1 Erasure, Sphinx, and Crawler in play when I play it. It would also be a good card against mill decks. So I'm thinking sideboard on this one. Thanks driftwood.
Not a bad card. But it isn't standard. However, they do make an equipment from Scars that does the exact same thing. Infiltration Lens I believe is what it is.
Perhaps adding in a legendary Eldrazi to the sideboard would rectify this? To sideboard in against larger decks, or ones that I'm having trouble milling out. And that's exactly what I use Jace for. Deadly when the Erasure and the Crawler is out.
I thought about running Venser, but in the end I just didn't have room for him. And really like you said he'd only be good for blinking the Wall.
As long as I can get the cards I need not long. Once I start the draw engine it takes only a few turns. Most of the time I have both Temple Bell's out. And the Sphinx only speeds things up with them out.
Nice suggestion on the Runed Seritor. I've made the switch. Any thoughts on a side board?
Now that I'm running white I'm also considering running Indomitable Archangel to protect my artifacts. Thoughts? And some help with a sideboard would be great.
Good suggestions. I like using the Erasure because from where I draw so much it activates almost all the time. And easily either mill someone or at least nail a card that they need. I normally use Vivisection to sac Oculus to draw 4 cards instead of 3. And Distant Memories I normally use early game to get things that I need or to draw more. Late game I use it to force my opponent into a hard spot. I either get a card that's going to help me win, or I draw 3 cards and cause more havoc. And I see what you're saying about Blue Sun's Zenith. In the times that I have test played this I've noticed I mostly just hold it in my hand. So I'll remove it for some Preordains. And if you really think that I don't need the cancel's then I'll take them out for a Preordain and a wall. As for Jace, I'm not sure if I'd need to run 2 Jace 1.0 and 2 Jace 2.0. But I will keep it in mind. Thanks for your 2 cents man.
Mana Flare would help this deck out a lot.
Hmm, the draw factor of Time Reversal would be nice, but if I have a ton of cards in my hand. And Venser's Journal plus the Crawler out. It would hurt me rather than help me. Good suggestion though.
I know no one has commented on this in awhile but I just made a few changes and redid the sideboard. So more comments are welcome.
So I tested the deck last night. Worked very well. But I did feel like it needed more counter spells. So here are the changed I made. -2 Tome Scour's / +2 Mana Leak's -2 Preordain's / +2 Cancel's Once the deck got going I was drawing so much that it really didn't matter about seeing what I was drawing, and Tome Scour didn't do anything for me once Jace's Erasure was out.
This deck is awesome. And Turz, just to be sure I called a local judge. And you are right. The Phyrexian Crusader would NOT be damaged from Pyroclasm or Slagstorm. So I must say, very good job.
Nice, I like it. I'll test that when I get home. And I do see where you're coming from. In that case, do you think I should take out Fuel for the Cause for Cancel?

Looks pretty decent. Like you mentioned, a play set of Blinkmoth Nexus would help a lot. Especially with the proliferate aspect you have going.
A few changes have been made. Please comment.
