Thanks insaney. I'm new to legacy meta and I'm planning on going 12 post. Omni-tell was making my head hurt because I was not sure if Venser would do it by himself.
One question I have about 12 Post itself. Expedition Map is used early game on most lists. Until we get a titan and to supplement Crop Rotation. Is there a reason we don't use Exploration or Explore over Expedition Map?
I feel especially strongly about Exploration over Expedition Map. Why isn't turn 1 Misty/Trop -> Exploration -> Cloudpost one of our best plays? It seems to set up turn 2 and 3 crazily good.
Sorry if I'm asking silly/redundant questions. Like I said, kinda new at this.
This is a god-hand requiring 5-6 cards, but still. Post has nothing like this turn 1.
The problem lies in Show and Tell -> Omniscience. Once that happens what do we do? They can do this anytime Turn 1 to 3, before we have a chance to ramp up properly.
Being mono blue their counter magic will generally be a lot stronger than ours.
Yes we can try and win the counter war on the Show and Tell, but if we lose that what do we have as options?
I'm asking whether Venser, Shaper Savant targeting Omniscience will be good enough. What can they do in response? Does Trinisphere need to be considered at that point as another option? Does Cyclonic Rift go in over Repeal main board with the hope to bounce Omniscience?
And a good friend of mine runs High Tide. I'll keep you all updated with how the play testing goes.

Turn 1: Chrome Mox/Lotus Petal, Ancient Tomb -> Show and Tell -> Omniscience -> Enter the Infinite -> cast all the deck's copies of Emrakul
