Think twice is probably not what you're after. Serum Visions is basically the best option. I've tried: Anticipate, Ancestral Vision, Sleight of Hand, Think Twice, Serum Vision, Gitaxian Probe, Izzet Charm and am probably forgetting a few.
If you're not casting serum visions after turn one, you're either not being honest, extremely lucky, not playing the deck enough or something because it is a rather helpful card in many situations where you just need some kind of business.
Not trying to be snarky. The deck's had some good positions in the meta before. I just don't recall, "Glory Day," like Tier 1 or sweeping tournaments left and right. Reasonable amount of Top 8's though (even in Cruise/DTT meta, if I recall -- that's when I did best with the deck anyway lol).
Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
It didn't ever clean house, but it was a consistent top finisher. I exaggerated before, but seriously... this deck is the nuts when it comes to fun and replayability.

Played day 1 at SCG Indy today, finished 6-3 even though I definitely should have finished 7-2 to make day two and made a couple of mistakes. I'll post a report tomorrow.
Played yesterday with this build at local event for 20 people. Went 3-0-2, in top 8 got to the finals. Trying 4 serum vision. Lost in the finals to merfolks
I've noticed 2x Spell Queller becoming the MB norm. I've never had issues running 3-4 but I also haven't had time to test just two. Why is it getting cut?
I've cut to two from 3 because I feel like with 3-4 we are getting too many slow hands. Also as great as it is it still dies from bolt/fatal push wiht revolt and helix/path which is 80% or the removal in the format
I'm currently jamming geist into people and have 2 spell queller main. My local store is a bunch of midrange decks that can't remove a geist. However there is very little infect or goryo's vengeance or ad nauseum etc so spell queller is not what I want to be doing.

I don't know where else to post my deck at. It's more of a Burn deck than a midrange or control deck though. I use the burn spells to go to the face as often as possible unless I need to kill creatures. I decided to play this a few weeks ago because I needed a change of pace from some of my other decks and I still had cards in the mail for another deck. So, I ended up putting this pile of cards together and shuffled it up. The first thing i said when the event was over "I forgot how much I love playing Restoration Angel". Anyways, here's the list:
Sorry if this isn't the right spot for this but I wanted to post the list somewhere. I've had a ton of fun playing it. In my games with it, I beat Brun, Affinity twice, 8 Rack, Esper control, Abzan twice, Jund twice, Abzan CoCo, and Storm.
How's that Aurelia's Fury treating you? I picked one up a long time ago but never got around to trying it out. Might need to dust it off and give it a shot.
Loving this deck! Over the course of the last 4 events I've gone to I'm a combined record of 11-1-2 with the deck winning around 100 in store credit and I'm loving it.
The SB varied slightly between the weeks but it was mostly the same. This deck rarely has mana problems for me which results in very few mulligans which I like. Any criticism is appreciated.

How do you guys feel about lists with Blade Splicer? I believe they go for a more tempo-oriented plan instead of taking the aggressive beatdown plan with Geist. While I do really miss that in pairings where kicking ass fast is needed like tron, I'm really enjoying this version and I feel like it has more 50-50 MU's than Geist.
