Yeah but armadillo cloak has a much better name. Worth it.

rewind is a good late game counter when the spell is countered you get the mana that you payed back or even mana that puts you into a better position then when you countered http://www.mtgvault.com/card/rewind/M13/
another good counter would be essence scatter because a huge concern for this deck is VoR. essence scatter is better if you are on the play so i would board them out if you are on the draw. Even though you have the 3 verdicts if they get a VoR you have to wait till turn 4 to play it and they get a elemental when it is over which they could make powerful while you are tapped out.

In conclusion, i would put either essence scatter or rewind instead. Once again a one of 1 drop is fairly useless no matter what it can be used against.

Alot of these counters are unnecessary and just fill deck slots that could be better spent on other things. a 1 of 1 drop is never a good thing. I would replace the 1 of dispel with another syncopate put 2 dispels in the sideboard and take out 1 syncopate from sideboard.

With this you cant play an offensive or defensive creature till turn 3 (maybe) i would add 4 farseeks to help speed up ramping ad almost guarantee it on turn 3 but is still very likely to get 4 mana on turn 2.

Thanks for the advice i will take it into account

yes thats what the win condition seems to be.

This deck as a whole is cheap also you can use watery graves for other future decks. Shocklands are an investment not an expense.

since you have a way to gain double mana i would add Mind Grind jsut to help with the milling.

i see the merits of this deck, while it will never win a tourney it is good for the cost to make it. Therefore I have to disagree that "this sucks."

Thanks for the suggestion but wouldn't parallel lives be a main board card?

Your deck could win against weaker decks but it could be more focused. Your Behemoth is not that useful for you because you don't have that many creatures or any tokens. Remember expensive deck doesn't necessarily mean good deck. but since you have those shock lands you could make any number of good decks.

you could add a few protocol portals or conjurer's closets that would greatly improve this already good deck

this deck looks amazing!
