Well it's more than zero, which is what my old deck had because I didn't like throwing out creatures or spells to make room for them. By that comparison, and short of having an artifact heavy deck (which this wasn't meant to be), 6 is a good amount.

Thanks for the tip chaoslord00! I know the variety is overbalanced, but unfortunately I find myself with many cards and not many copies of those cards, so putting in 2-4 of the best ones becomes challenging. But I guess that's what eBay's for. Yeah I have been playing against the Phyrexia deck which is heavy on creature destruction and flying/unblockable creatures. I will definitely check out the cards you mentioned and see how they work out, they all look very promising. I think I have a Bear Umbra somewhere too. Thanks again!
I am newish myself (well, returned after long absence), but I definitely see where this is going and I like it. That's saying a lot considering I'm not a fan of blue and really hate black right now. The combination of Liliana's Kiss with Jace's abillity to make opponents discard is really killer, that would be devastating to anyone. Like I said, I am new to the current rule set, but I am picking it up fairly quickly. Your creature's could be stronger or more numerous, but that all depends on how long it takes you to get that combo out. You have a greater occurrence of black mana than blue, so normally I would swap out 2-4 islands for swamps, but since you have four Drowned Catacombs, it's prob not a deal. I understand wanting to stack your deck with Planeswalkers to make sure you get them out, but I believe you can only have one of a particular one in play at a time, so four Liliana's is overkill. They just take up space in your library while you're waiting for one of your two Jace's or a Liliana's Kiss card instead. I know there are blue cards that let you draw more cards or look through your library for certain cards--I would drop two Liliana's and replace them with those. But that's all just my two cents; hope it was helpful!
