GWU CounterSnake

Main Deck :-
4x Birds of Paradise
4x Gaea's Skyfolk
4x Fleetfoot Panther
4x Mystic Snake
4x Blastoderm

4x Counterspell
4x Washout
4x Absorb
2x Temporal Spring
4x Opt

3x Yavimaya Coast
2x Adarkar Wastes
2x Brushland
7x Forest
4x Island
2x Plains
2x Treva's Ruins

Sideboard :-
2x Sunken Hope
4x Withdraw
2x Temporal Spring
1x Story Circle
2x Dismantling Blow

The Sideboard needs adding and maybe even changing... This is a sort of remake of the CounterDerm I did once, this time adding white to make the deck better and more solid...

What u people think?

I'll add two more Temporal Springs (-2x Mystic Snakes)
I'll take out the 4x Birds of Paradise and replace them with Lay of the Land (an Apocalypse green sorcery that allows you to search your Library for a basic land card)
I'll take out 2x Wash Out/1x Blastoderm and 1x Fleetfooted Panther and add 4x Accumulated Knowledges (this thing needs searching stuff!).
I'll let you know how it works out.

I would play the deck more like control with less critters and more counters and card drawing.

I think a Mystic Snake deck needs to play like counter-sliver or Fish in an aggro-control deck style. Rootwater Thief would be great, if he didn't equire such a hefy activation. Afterall, you are trying yo kill your opponent rather than eliminate all their spells (unless you are playing U/W). I would love to work in Jolting Merfolk/Seahunter as well, but that would pretty much put this back to mono-blue. You really don't want to be adding white, unless you want to go with Galina's Knight/Absorb/Reverent Mantra, which might be good.

SB is completely tenative right now. I like the creature base, but it may ba a little weak until Fires loses Blastoderm and Burst.

A little weaker, but the Pro:Red (and Green) aspects of it are pretty decent. Less chance to stop a Blastoderm from going all the way, however.
