Hey there.. I'm new to this site, and my English is not too good (I'm a Norwegian), but please read through this anyways.
I'm going to a tournament in a month or so, and I don't have a deck. There is probably not going to be a prize, but I play for the fun of it. Could somebody here help me make a decent deck out of my cards, as mentioned below? I also have access to get other cards, but nothing too expensive, I'm afraid. In addition to the cards mentioned below, I have pretty much every uncommon and crap rare printed in Saga or newer.

My cards:
4 (signed)mishra's factory
1 force of will (3 more ordered, but may not be here in time)
1 sol ring
1 strip mine
1 zuran orb
3 solitary confinement
2 zur's weirding (would love to play them, but how?)
2 trade routes
1 time spiral
1 (signed)yawgmoth's will
1 phage the untouchable
4 blurred mongoose
3 winter orb
3 (foil ) ophidian
1 (foil, signed) fact or fiction
4 (arena) counterspell

That's the usefull stuff, i think, in addition to the uncommons.
I would love to play my ophidians, but please suggest what you think might do well(By that I mean "not so bad as other things made with these cards"). I don't expect this deck to be great, but playable.
Thanks in advance!

You could try something like this:

2 Isocron Scepter
2 Merchant Scroll
4 Mana Leak
4 Counterspell
3 Ophidian
4 Force of Will
1 Fact or Fiction
1 Zuran Orb
1 Time Spiral
4 Brainstorm
4 Accumulated Knowledge
4 Standstill

Land (26)
4 Mishra's Factory
2 Faerie Conclave
1 Strip Mine
18 Island
1 Sol Ring

And your sideboard would have to be anti-aggro of course.

Pretty much what i had in mind, yes.

2 Isocron Scepter (how good will they be here?)
2 Merchant Scroll
4 Mana Leak
4 Counterspell
3 Ophidian (+1?)
4 Force of Will
1 Fact or Fiction
1 Zuran Orb
1 Time Spiral
4 Brainstorm
4 Accumulated Knowledge
4 Standstill (see scepter)

Land (26)
4 Mishra's Factory
2 Faerie Conclave (neccessary?)
1 Strip Mine
18 Island
1 Sol Ring

Should i try to make room for one more Phid or some inituitions? and are the standstills that good in this deck? Do i need more mana acc. like grim monolith?

[BrokenDeck]

I only put three ophidians in because you said you had three.  In hindsight, the scepters are not that good, you can take them out for an ophidian and a nevinyrrals disk or powder keg (your choice), and then drop the merchant scrolls for two more disks or kegs.  That should help the aggro matchup, I dont know why I didnt put them in the original list.

I like the standstill in these kind of decks a lot, the six manlands means you can drop the standstill and then win without breaking it, and if your opponent plays a spell, you get to draw three cards then counter their spell.  The conclaves are in there as additional win conditions, so you have 6 manlands against 5 strip effects (4 wasteland and 1 strip mine).   But you will still have problems if one of them is on the bottom.

Final changes:
-2 Isocron Scepter
-2 Merchant Scroll
-1 Zuran Orb (not needed with the kegs/disks)
-1 Fact or Fiction (you will see why)
-1 Island

+1 Ophidian
+3 Nevinyrral's Disk/Powder Keg
+1 Faerie's Conclave
+2 Cunning Wish

Which means we need a sideboard to work on.  Some things that should be in it are: stifle, fact or fiction, gush (maybe, it is good against control decks), control magic, misdirection maybe even more counterspells if you are expecting a lot of control/combo decks.  And of course, the fourth disk/keg.

You may want to find room for stifle or misdirection main deck, maybe you can cut mana leaks or brainstorms.

Actually, I playtested what you posted originally (+1 phid), and I liked it a lot. That means 61 cards, but i could remove an island i guess. I really liked the scepter with counterspell and AK, so I'll keep them. Which cards do you suggest versus aggro? Should B2B be in the side? also, I don't think I will need a third conclave, as i have a lot of cards that let me draw factories. BTW, does scepter activation count as a spell?

Edit: Fire/Ice is not too bad with the scepter, is it? at least burns those pesky jackals. I don't need red mana for fire when on the scepter, right?

[BrokenDeck]

Fire/Ice is pretty good with scepter, you can play the fire for colorless mana.
