Sorry, computer's sensitive. This link is my 5-color Experimental Deck. Haven't had a loss in about 15 duels but, that could change suddenly. Can anyone spot some weak points for me?

Alright, Androstosity, let's break this deck down.

First: All Blue decks face the same problem: too many spells, and too few creatures (especially considering most worthwhile Blue creatures have ridiculous mana costs).
This is simple enough to fix: Invest in artifacts, the majority of their mana costs are colorless, so they're pretty helpful in 'First-Time' decks.

Second: Mana, mana, mana.Being heavily based in instants and sorceries (especially those God-forsaken counters), you should probably expect to use the majority of your mana during your opponent(s)' turn. So stock up. At the moment, I'd recommend another twenty islands on top of your current stash.

Third: Variety is the spice of life. If you want to base a deck off a creature type, then get four of every card. HOWEVER, don't just limit yourself to those creatures alone. Add some sacrificial ones, Bell Tower Sphinx (don't quote me on the spelling) is among the best of the front-line cards. Also, Fortress Crab will provide you with a sturdy defense against most early to mid-round creatures.

Hope that helps. I could also use a bit of input on my deck: 'Methods of Destruction'.
