Deck discussion for No choice is a good choice

Instead of Norn's Annex, I would be running propaganda, ghostly prison, and the norn's annex. Probably 3/3/2 or something like that. If you do that and have a leyline in play, the creatures can't hurt you, and the direct damage can't get you either. You probably want more than 1 leyline of sanctity in the deck. For the land base, The 5 alara tri-lands are the most versatile (Jungle Shrine, Seaside Citadel etc). The problem with the lands that tap for 2 is that they are useless if they're your first land. If you play it and it's the only land you control, the ability will make it bounce itself back to your hand. So you may have an opening hand with 3 or 4 of those lands in it, but thats just like having a hand with no lands.

1 or 2 mystical tutors could help this deck as well. I'm guessing you want to imprint the scepter with the counterspell or silence... the mystical tutor can put either of those cards in your hand when you need it.

The 4 manabards does worry me as you do not have any life gain, which is why I assume you had all those lands that tap for 2 mana in the deck. Still, you have cards with big cmc, so if you have 2 manabarbs in play, it would deal 10 damage to you just to cast 1 painful quandary. If you're commited to it, then you need more artifacts making mana. I recommend manalith regardless because you have all colors.

You need to test it out and see how it actually plays, and make sure you can establish board presence quick enough. You don't want them to have a field of stuff before you have your good shit in play.
