Deck discussion for B/U Hive Mind Win

I Dont Understand the use of mimic vat... if you counter a creature it doesn enter in the game... so how do you kill the opponents creatures ???
and Hive Mind copy your counterspell for your oppenents so why is here ???

Counterspell is obviously for a pre-Hive Mind play in the early game, which is good foresight. Though personally, I would use Faerie Trickey as my counterspell of choice, since the "counter target non-Faerie" clause means your own Trickery cannot be countered. Same as Remove Soul and Essence Scatter, those can't be copied and then countered when Hive Mind is out either. I would consider running 4x Faerie Trickery, 4x Remove Soul and 3x Essence Scatter in place of the 11 counterspells you have now, since all of those would bypass Hive Mind.

Other than that, great deck idea, I love the use of Mimic Vat with Mnemonic Wall to reuse your Wish, or whatever else you might need to win.

One last idea: I would run Nighthawks instead of Wall of Deceit. Then, I would also run some Doom Blades, Dark Banishing, and the like. That "non-black" clause means your Nighthawks would be immune once Hive Mind is on the field! And even if they do copy a Doom Blade to kill a Wall, that's just a faster way to stick it on your Vat.

One last thing of note, Hive Mind will not trigger Memory Erosion, since the copies are not being 'cast' and are simply put onto the stack. Ergo, you might want to replace that and your Traumatizes with something else, like Nighthawks and Doom Blades.

Thanks for the input, MrBarrelRoll, always appreciated.

Mimic Vat is also another counter to legendary eldrazi if my Leyline isn't in play.

Very graceful use of Cunning Wish to pull the lose combo.

I liked this enough to make my own Mono U variant that runs at instant speed.
