I know, I'm running on the original one, but this is a future deck, that will probably have many adds on Theros. Just something to work on ;D

Alot of these counters are unnecessary and just fill deck slots that could be better spent on other things. a 1 of 1 drop is never a good thing. I would replace the 1 of dispel with another syncopate put 2 dispels in the sideboard and take out 1 syncopate from sideboard.

One dispel in the deck is good dude..Taking out a dispel to add a syncopate wont help, syncopate is not a very good counter, in my opinion. Its only good for the first rounds, but late game it just gets countered by paying the mana needed. If you need to pay more than 2 for your syncopate it is better to use cancel, dont u think?
And the dispel is there to counter counters when I play sphinxs ;D

Do you think there are cards that I should add here? Instead of the counters you described as unnecessary

rewind is a good late game counter when the spell is countered you get the mana that you payed back or even mana that puts you into a better position then when you countered http://www.mtgvault.com/card/rewind/M13/
another good counter would be essence scatter because a huge concern for this deck is VoR. essence scatter is better if you are on the play so i would board them out if you are on the draw. Even though you have the 3 verdicts if they get a VoR you have to wait till turn 4 to play it and they get a elemental when it is over which they could make powerful while you are tapped out.

In conclusion, i would put either essence scatter or rewind instead. Once again a one of 1 drop is fairly useless no matter what it can be used against.

12 dual land, 4 voice , 3 sphinx's alone makes it 300+. Magic is expensive.

Magic isnt expensive, standard is =P Every year you most likely have to completely change your deck. Why did the owner of the ONLY DAM LEGACY TOURNAMENT IN GEORGIA have to die =_= Besides Atlanta, but god knows I am not trudging through there

Standard is? what about legacy?Modern? The only format that isnt expensive is pauper...
Ok, I know that once u have a legacy deck done u dont need to change anymore...But, do u really believe in this? There's always a deck to break the format, then everybody has to make changes.
And here where I live, to build a legacy deck takes almost $4K. So I believe is better to waste 400 bucks on standard and trade the cards before it rotates. U will waste max 200 bucks on another deck,after rotation

I never have to change my deck in legacy. Ever. It always stays the same, and always has a good win-loss ratio. If where you live it costs 4k to build a legacy deck, then stop buying fucking tropical islands and shit. I have a simple infect deck, that could beat delver, elf-emrakul decks, artifact speed that can drop the blightsteel collossus turn 3. Guess what

Barely even costs over $15.

I don't have money to keep paying $300 JUST to be able to keep up in standard. All standard is "If you have the money for the best cards, you win." With legacy your not restricted and can work around anything.

No offense but it's hard to believe your legacy deck could beat REAL competitive legacy decks. It is possible you can beat people in your lGS and that is fine. But for real high tournaments I am pretty sure it would get crushed. I never understood why people whine about prices of decks anyway. This game has always cost money from the get go. It's a collectible card game key word collectible and those tend to cost money in the long run.

The people I played against had 2k decks, probably more. And yes, I beat them, on my own, with a simple blue/green infect. Emrakul decks, elf decks, delver, artifact ramp, elf ramp into the crossroads that kills with 5million creatures, show and tell, sneak attack, and not to mention a top tier myr deck that can win turn 4...Done it all. With a premade deck I bought, then slightly modified. Twas hilarious.

Now I'm taking a black extraction deck to dragon con that only costs $100 and is brutal as hell. Most likely will have many many victory's, if not be in the top 10. Maybe even win who knows. So you can shove your 3k deck up your ass, since I've done just fine with these.

Once standard is actually affordable, or is "balanced" to the point where you don't need a full play set of shock lands just to win, I'll consider it. But for right now, if this is what I have to pay for, what the fuck. Where are people getting this kind of money?

So pretty much playing against your Lgs like I said. When you top 32 a legacy event then maybe you can say those things but honestly anyone can make up stories about their unbeatable decks. All I hear is whining about standard being expensive . And people can pay for magic because they have jobs and such. Seriously posts likes these do nothing for topics. You're just bragging about how you beat expensive legacy decks without proof and how awesome it is despite the fact it has never been heard of before and that it has no real decklist nor does it have any real standings. Anyone can make up stuff like this in the internet. The man asked for help on his deck not about your ethics on how expensive mtg is.

FYI: I do not own any legacy decks but I totally don't mind spending the money to make a good one capable of winning real tournaments like opens and such.

Turn one myr win, I would like to see that actually lol. May be illegal I'm guessing, or just a vintage deck.

Also a good bit of those cards are rotating out, which is another thing I hate about standard. Really did like innastrad and dark asscension, sucks it has to leave :/ At the same time the fact snap-caster is going away makes me leap with joy.

Well there is a turn one reanimator, it involves grislebrand getting haste then paying life to draw into a storm spell and kill them.

Why don't you change Syncopate and put the other Render Silent? Is a lot better

Yeah, I think this way too, but sometimes is good to get syncopate on your starting hand, even though its really dificult to get with only one in your main deck haha

The point about control is staying one step or more ahead of your opponent. That said, I think Syncopate is still the best way to go here. It can counter/exile certainly, and even in a situation where they can pay the mana to stop the counter, it still sets them back a play, keeping you ahead of the game (unless they're playing hyper aggro and dropping a crap ton of little things to bite you)

I would replace the Dispels with Negate. I would also run another Advent. Those things are beautiful.

I would drop Zegana entirely. She costs entirely too much to be a crappier Revelation. Sure it gets you a nice blocker, but at a 6 cost? I don't think so. While we're on high mana costs, 2 Angels of Serenity may be a bit much, but if it works for ya, why change it? lol

Other than that, I would suggest looking at Selesnya Charm. Pretty damn handy if you ask me.

Hmm, I'll add another syncopate on the place of zegana. I just wont add advent cause I dont have another one, but it surely its an amazing card haha.
Selesnya charms...I guess I can try to add it on sb and see what happens

Prime Speaker Zegana would be absolutely ideal in here, especially in Bant colours - provides card draw and a significant body too :)
