Deck discussion for Realist

Explain to me, if you even can, just how in the hell StifleNought is the one known as "Realist". Otherwise a well designed deck. I typically see counter suites of 9 or 10 at the most. I must say using 11 is quite the Coúp dè Grâce, but I think it works.

Counterspells are the reason for the name actually; Pessimist is Extraction, and takes away what you can do. Optimist is Orzhov Pox, it tries to make elaborate plays and setups. This is Realist, it says don't do that, and let me make something reasonably big.

I'm actually looking for a way to slip the Flusterstorm in the main deck, but the only thing I can stand to take is Trickbind, and it seems like a poor choice to remove. I tend to get at bit excessive with counters sometimes though, as this has been proving to work quite well at eleven as you thought.
