The correct "name" is traditionally "zompires"

I look forward to see a zompirates and vampire deck as well ;)

Well, there's whirlwind denial that can stop a billion storm spells.
Supreme will that can counter or search for your combo.

And I got 20 other picks costing only 1 blue mana and 2 or three colourless, which fits the manareducers.
Why play so many uu when you can go with u. ?

Well, knowing you you would have gotten there eventually.

Here's the others.

No escape
Broken ambitions
Calculated dismissal
Clash of wills
Condescend
Convoluted
Countervailing winds
Deny existence
Deny the divine (flexible)
Disdainful stroke
Exclude
Sage's dousing
Scatter arc
Spell Blast
Spell burst (permanent countering)
Spell contortion
Syncopate (gravehate)
Thoughtbind
Unwind (get more mana)

Most of these will draw you replacing cards.

I've gone ahead ;)

This is part of what I mean, when I miss you having more of a killer instinct.

All of these spells can be cherypicked to gear your deck up against practically any deck.

I research my choices a lot more, then I get the cards if the deck wins against the panel of proxydecks.

Heh, my first response was ???
It actually looks like it could work.
Any reason why all counterspells are 3cc ?

I used to have notes on designs dating back to the 2005 and forward. Threw it all out because I was so close to lose my home.

What search engine do you use?
I currently use scryfall.
In that place I just need to figure out out key phrases that might be usefull to the deck, and regulating the castingcost helps too.

Then I scroll down and write interesting names, and when I'm done with key phrases I either get some idea of new phrases or I write in all cards in mtgvault for a closer study.

There's probably a lot more ways, sometimes we discover them. Sometimes we don't.

I like the cryptolith/mass hysteria move you've made ;)

Blue has two enchantments that makes a creature a pinger in case you want access to counterspells.

Psionic gift
Hermetic study

There are plenty of creatures with death touch so you can actually make versions of this deck in dimir, golgari, simic and izzet colors

Quicksilver dagger is one of my favourites in decks like this

It's also a nice addition to almost anything in the deck.

Glimpse is banned in modern.
I think it was part of skullclamp combo once.

Fists of flame will be nice with mass hysteria.

Damn I'm getting lost in the glimpse deck.
It has some hidden rules that I don't understand.
First of all it demands at least 32 creatures costing 0 with no disadvantages.
Second it seemed to work well with manamorphosis and noxious revival, but only to a certain degree.
Finally the mana influences everything. If it's to high the deck stops. If it's to low it stops.
And if I draw a hand full of cards that aren't occ, I have to mulligan.
And apart from turn one glimpse the deck wins more after 2 mulligans when compared to 1 mulligan. That's truly puzzling to me..

Since you had an interest in the affinity design I can tell that I've discovered a fun card.
Fists of flame...

That's true.

The most pressing issue is rdw, so you should compare your deck to theirs,
Where would you be strongest.

Most of their designs are prowress and I think that's where you yourself are heading.
The difference here is that they rely more on creatures, and have cut burn to add those.
Your best option is to remove burn yourself to make room for kor firewalker and path.
You best option there might be to skip on the burn that works around chalice, moving some rift bolt and skewer to the sideboard. I also think you should keep the eidolons at 4.

Ingot chewer could become pillage, so that you can remove lands. Against valakut you don't actually take out valakut, but you take out a land to set them back 1 more turn to burn. Eldrazi temple is the pick against eldrazi. Against tron you take out an urza or whatever they have fewest of

Some are ancient ;)
With 2000 comments I stretch
Far back in time.

I might dig up some old posters for you so you can find some old designs to toy with.

But you could just also dig deep into mekkakats archives.

I guess so, but I do believe this is the first time you've dug deep enough to reach my old comments ;)

Okay, I've been taking a closer look at the meta
Rdw is dominant, so you could actually reverse engineer the problem by making kor firewalker and path to exile mainboard. Theres also a huge number of boros decks so if you have access to auriok champion you will be able to crack two stones with one.

You also need to deal with tron, eldrazi and valakut, and in ancient modern, this was done with molten rain. These days you can do it with pillage. 3 of these in the sb will work wonders.
