Deck discussion for EDH Talrand, Sky Summoner

Since you've said "cheap" I'll keep my initial suggestions to inexpensive cards:

Quicksilver Fountain- This can flat out end games early if you play it and not has a response.

Future Sight- You can play the top card of your library, which sounds useful, but you need to realize that when you play that card you flip up the next card. I've chained 6+ cards in a single turn off it. That's fantastic value.

Mystic Speculation- It essentially reads 2U: make a drake, scry 3, bring Mystic Speculation back to your hand. It's great.

Switcheroo- Five mana to swap a drake for the best creature in play, and make another drake in the process.

Non-cheap options:

Back to Basics- Absolutely shuts down some decks and won't hurt you a bit.

Sapphire Medallion- Will save a lot of mana

Damn, back to basics is nice. I've got a few of the other cards you've mentioned, i'll most likely buy a Quicksilver Fountain though

Bear in mind some of those cards can lend to a pretty unfun play experience. Mono-blue is generally not fun to play against, but stuff like Back to Basics and the Fountain make it worse. My Talrand decks basically only sees play when against guys I think are dicks, because then I don't feel bad countering all their stuff and locking up their lands.
