Deck Description

Blue-Black control + infect. Seems like a fun deck, can be pretty aggravating to play against. Suggestions welcome!

-3 specter
-2 Frost Titan

+4 Phyrexian Crusader
+1 blighted agent (I think Blighted Agents really only work in decks with pump spells, but if you wanna go super controling they may end up working)

-3 Halimar Depths
-3 Tec Edge
+4 Inkmoth
+3swamps
+3 Island

I wouldn't run more than 5 or 6 counterspells maindeck, and only 3-4 spot removal spells, then a couple black sun's zenith.

only 2 surgical (maybe 1), and only 5 or so discard instead of 6. Maybe 3 inquisition then 2 duress, since you already have a lot of creature removal.

Also, if you run discard heavy, your reliance on preordain goes down. Maybe only run 2 or so, you ideally only want one 1-cost card in your opening hand.

Also, I can see a couple swords main deck being useful in this. Phyrexian Crusader or Blighted Agent with a sword is downright scary.

I like it better this way, definitely more control. A few ideas...

I'd take out stoic rebuttal, and maybe 1 or 2 inkmoths, then add in 4x Spreading Seas and 2-3 Tectonics (no more than 5-6 colorless lands total). Then you also have a land disruption package, which can auto-win in some games, and works good for control.

You need more board sweepers, I'd remove 1 dismember and 1 duress or Surgical Extraction, and add in either 2 Black Sun Zenith, or 1 Zenith and 1 Life's Finale.

It looks pretty solid overall though.
