Is there a reason that Memory Jar is excluded? Or have you just forgotten about it? Memory Jar looks like an auto-include for this deck.

I have been playing on MWS for several years and seen some strange things, have been insulted many times, but what happened this evening was really absurd, flabbergasting and bizar.

It's a MWS game and I am playing MUD. First my opponent  takes 7 mulligans in a row, then draws a new hand of 7 without any comments. Strange, but I don't really mind. I have won the toss and start out with a mox, sol ring, sphere and a land. As I pass the turn he remarks "good, another deck I can easily beat". I ignore it, and he plays a land and passes. I draw a workshop, and play it to cast a memory jar for 6, and pass. He plays another land and passes.

Then it happens. In my turn I activate jar, and while he draws a new hand he suddenly says: "you didn't have enough mana for memory jar. Game loss for you. 1-0." I ask him why. He says because I only had 5 mana. I say: "well, this argument  is easily resolved, let's just look back in the blog ok?" And I look up the blog, and quote to him the relevant sentences:

Me plays Mishra's Workshop form hand.
Me taps Mishra's Workshop
Me taps Sol Ring
Me taps Mox Pearl
Me plays Memory Jar from Hand.

But even with the quote right there in his face, he starts screaming that I didn't have 6 mana. He calls me a cheater, starts cursing, etc. at which point I draw the line and quit.

His name was Michael.

Nice to see that there is a place to ventilate your frustations, I'll save blogs from now on.

As some people suggested daze or spell snare as an extra early counter, I was wondering why Thoughtseize (over Duress) was not mentioned. True, it is not blue, but it is a preemptive counter that could help the aggro match up. I really like this deck btw.
