: Of Course it is of the Weissman School of Magic, but sometimes i will Mana Drain a fireball or disentigrate, and have nothing to spend the mana on. Should i add a Krevaks tourch?, Mishras factories?, Disrupting Sceptors? Most of my loses come against discard decks, but worst is green/red/blue counter burn decks.
: any serious critique would be helpful, because of a lack of Type I players in Indianapolis (and in general)

Sooo exactly how are you gonna kill your opponent? With frentics?!?!? Not a very stable creature. And it is small. You have too many spells that arent pulling their own weight. Like fork and 2 swords to plowshares. You should add more offense in place of these. It doesnt look like you have alot of control over the board either. Sure...you have moats but only 4 counters is not much to bother with. Either add counterspells or ditch the drains. Pluss since you dont have a sink for the mana from a drain then you can be screwed. Id consider either adding counterspells and mishras and a fireball or two or else just drop counter and go for more offense. Replace those effrets with serendibs. ALOT better. Or just play necro! All those cool spells arent going to win you the game all the time with little to back them up. Oh and loose the maze of ith...its not that great.
