Flying Men + Unstable Mutation = 4/4 flyer for UU on turn 2. There just isn't anything comparable in blue. Sure the counters start to take effect the next turn, but by then you're ready for psi blasts.

Ideally, the deck works like this.

Turn one: Island Flying Men
Turn two: Island Unstable Mutation swing for 4
Turn three: Island Psi Blast (opponent at 12)
Turn four: Flooded Strand-Brainstorm-Fetch, Swing for 3
Turn five: Island Mind Bomb or Psi Blast, swing for 2, re-enchant flying men or cast another flying men
Turn six: swing again, game over

Defense comes in the way of counterspells and fow's. Other aggro comes from the factories. I'm trying to decide whether to use Mana Leaks or Counterspells.

I guess the reason I wanted the Psi Blasts in there is that no one expects thespanishinquisiton direct damage when playing mono blue, using it for its surprise factor. I understand about the fetchlands thing, thanks for the tip!

Why would you run fetchlands in a mono color deck?

Like what?

Oh, are there any more DD blue cards besides Mind Bomb and Psi Blast? Like I said, I've been out of this awhile  :-\

First, a little introduction. I'm getting back into Magic after being out of it since 1997, and after watching my friends play at the SCG tournament in Richmond I thought about putting together my own Type 1 deck. This is by no means a good deck, but I would like some suggestions on keeping the theme while making the deck better. Here we go, don't be too harsh

The theme is mono-blue speed burn.

4 Psionic Blast
4 Mind Bomb
4 Flying Men
4 Unstable Mutation
4 Counterspell
4 Force of Will
4 Temporal Adept
4 Brainstorm
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk

4 Chalice of the Void
1 Zuran Orb
1 Mox Sapphire
12 Island
4 Flooded Strand
4 Mishra's Factory

Any ideas? I thought about adding Curiosity for more speed, or spalshing red with Volcanic Islands and Lightning Bolts.
