Deck Description

Basically a control deck shaped for the metagame with blue for obvious awesomeness such as counters (Mana Leak), Jace, Frost Titan, and a Trinket Mage toolbox. Black provides some of the best spot removal in the current standard format, such as doom blade. Suggestions welcome.

I don't think I'd want to run Forsee in this deck because of the sorcery speed (if it was an instant I would for sure I think!). As for the Ingenuity, I really wanted to run it but Idk where to fit it in. Plus, it costs 5 which tends to be a lot even if it is a decent payoff... Any suggestions for cuts?

I fell like memoricide is better in the sideboard since youll have a much better idea of what to grab. just a thought. as for cutting, i think you could take out elixer (i do like it with trinket mage but i think card draw is better) and maybe even a preordain

Yeah, which is why I only have two in the main, but usually by turn 4 you can kind of see what type of deck they're playing and make a pretty decent guess. Most blue decks you'll be fine naming either jace or frost titan (depending on your read of if the person can afford it..). Green ramp plays primeval, etc. But I got kinda hosed by a guy playing at least a couple main deck last FNM and it seemed to work fine for him.. Preordain seems good though. Elixer is just needed to help me with my fear of RDW. I hate that deck and hate losing to it even more. It's aweful annoying and the Elixer can help in a long control mirror or something. I haven't really tested this deck but those are my reasons at this point. :/ I may consider cutting a memoricide though from the main I suppose..
