I don't really understand how splashing in green is going to help. I want to play mono-blue because that's the deck I have been working on and using since I started playing magic althought I am not completely adverse to adding another color if it leads to a big improvement. I play againt many different kinds of decks, but they are usually unpowered. No proxies are allowed. If someone could address some of my previous questions I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback. This is what I've come up with after reading your comments:

4 FoW
4 Misdirection
4 Mana Drain
4 Counterspell

4 Brainstorm
1 Tinker
1 Fact or Fiction

2 Back to Basics

3 Powder Keg
3 Control Magic

4 Ophidian
1 Morphling
1 Darksteel Colossus

1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Diamond
1 Chrome Mox
1 Sol Ring
1 Mana Vault
9 Island
4 Flooded Strand
2 Polluted Delta
1 Strip Mine
3 Wasteland

Do you feel that this is a superior build? Is brainstorm clearly better than impulse? I feel that impulse does a great job of stocking my hand. I like powder keg over chalice because of its versatility. Am I running enough draw now that braingeyser is out? Is Darksteel Colossus/Tinker better than running the 2nd morphling? I am playing in a mostly unpowered metagame and aggro decks have occasionally given me trouble. Is nev's disk a viable option? Also, I'm not quite sure why bounce is necessary.

Hey all. I posted my deck here awhile ago and your advice helped. This is what I am currently running. I know the use of braingeyser is going to be criticized, but I find it effective to use after a mana drain when I have a FoW or Misdirection to back me up. Also I have experimented with running fetchlands, but am currently torn about them since I am not currently running brainstorm. Also, do you think phids are a must? I am open to any advice but please try to explain your reasoning. Thanks.

I've been using mostly arrest, pacifism, or repentence, but condemn looks pretty good.

I was just wondering what you all thought the best creature removal is for white. Obviously swords to plowshares and wrath of god, but what comes next?

Thanks a lot for the help guys, especially that last post. I am currently trying to acqurie some fetchlands to include in my deck. I'm kinda torn whether to play phids or not because like Mad Wolf said, mine always tend to get killed before they can grant me a card advantage. I'm definitely going to add a fourth brainstorm and remove control magic, stroke, and braingeyser. I am going to keep my scepters tho because they are so awesome with a counterspell on them. You guys really think I shoudl remove impulse? It's done well for me in the past. Well, i'll post my new decklist when it's ready. Any more thoughts? Thanks.

do you guys think i should remove stroke and braingeyser? also what do you think of adding gush or mystical tutor or another scepter? do I have enough creature removal/control?

Hey bad wolf. I like you're suggestions. I'm definitely going to add a strip mine and 2-4 wastelands.  Adding a cunning wish is a good idea as well when building my sideboard. Are braingeyser and stroke too slow to be competitive? Your fetch+brainstorm idea sounds interesting. Could you explain to me exactly how this works? Thanks guys.
