This deck is a great idea...one I've been throwing around for a while since I saw the Angels. The only thing I can say is that you'll want to run some mana accel in the deck and a few more lands. Since you're wanting to play 8 4cc counters (which you could cut 1-2 of the new undermine/absorb ones), you'll want mana. Also, I'm pretty sold on the capsule that draws you some cards (if only academy ruins didnt rotate...which is good because of all the artifact fun/brokeness that can be had..which could lead to a new ext. deck if someone wanted to expand on tron which abuses it already).
Looks like you have a nice shell, but it does need at least 24-25 lands to make sure you hit the magic 4 mana. One other thing.. think about running finks maindeck to make sure you can outlast aggro if nothing else. |

Punish Ignorance is not that great I would say turn two counter (Broken Ambitions) is much more important. I would also run Dream Fracture over Cancel. And Hindering light is not that great because you only have 6 permanents and yourself that will allow the counter to work (good in sb). I would say that you might also need some card draw (Oona's Grace).

| 1st of all Dream Fracture is terrible...I don't want my oppenent to draw cards. The reason Hindering light is in there is too keep my 6 creatures alive i can't afford to lose them a hindering light is a great counterspell and draw card to perform this task. Perform ignorance is pretty good...Countering a dude gaining 3 and dealing 3 to aggro or burn is clutch. I have tested Oona's Grace and am not that impressed with it i like the Esper Charm does 3 different things and is a draw spell. |

Great idea, I was thinking on the same controllish Angel deck. I would also try Rafiq. It was insane during the release. (OK, that incinerate and nameless inversion and... kills it, but very funny card  ) Aren't the 1x Battlegrace Angel and the 1x Empyrial Archangel too random? I mean you only have these creatures and if they are the last 6 cards of your lib (saw not once  ) then you'll definitely fail. I suppose the idea, inform us about any changes.  |

It's not terrible. It's not Cryptic Command, but it's not terrible. It's like Remand for U more, since they get a random card rather than their spell back, which is a comparable effect (that card could be better than the countered spell, but it also could be worse). The fact that you get to draw is more important, because A) you get to use the extra card first, if you play Dream Fracture right and B) If you're running Dream Fracture you probably have plenty of extra permission to support it, as well as other tools like the Charms to deal with your opponent's card.
To put it bluntly, Cryptic Command, Remove Soul and Broken Ambitions are the best we have right now, but if I'm going to play a 4th one, Dream Fracture over Cancel is most likely correct. Specially in the early game, a control deck will gladly draw an extra card so that it doesn't miss a land drop, finds the Wrath more quickly, etc. When your deck plays the best control cards of the format, your deck is the one that an extra card helps the most. |
