4 Guttersnipe  4 Snapcaster Mage  4 Invisible Stalker  4 Boros Charm  3 Pillar of Flame  3 Searing Spear  3 Counterflux  2 Aurelia's Fury  4 Think Twice  4 Hands of Binding  3 Paranoid Delusions  2 Clifftop Retreat  3 Sacred Foundry  4 Hallowed Fountain  2 Glacial Fortress  4 Steam Vents  4 Sulfur Falls  2 Watery Grave  1 Godless Shrine  Looking at what else I could do. I put in Paranoid Delusions as a cheap Cipher with an alternative possible win condition, would probably have to SB DRS to counter reanimators this way. Cipher on Stalker with Guttersnipe, sounds like a plan. Still worried that I might not have enough Ciphers or something with the set up I have.

Hands of Binding seems like it would be a nice on-color add-on to your Invisible Stalker .
EDIT: I'm blind it seems.
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in an thread with GM_Champion" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against AzureShade when card design is on the line!

Looking back, I'm thinking of dropping Counterflux for Syncopate, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.
I feel like I need another set of Ciphers in here.

Paranoid Delusions feels out of place here; unless you are planning to create targets in your own graveyard for Snapcaster Mage ?

I'm thinking the idea is to Cipher this onto the Invisible Stalkers. BUT, even then it seems out of place. Milling people doesn't seem to be the wincon of this deck. 3 cards a turn? Not ideal..
I also disagree with taking Counterflux out. Counterflux i really enjoy. You dont have to tap so much as Syncopate (Depending) and it can't be countered.

To me, it seemed as it was a cheap Cipher, not necessarily a win condition, but a little extra pressure from nothing extra with me.
I like Counterflux, too. I agree with the dependability.
Still trying to figure out what to use, if more or in place of Delusions.

Oh no i agree, its a threat and still something people will feel necassary to deal with some how. Could easily drag out a sweeper of some sort.
Take Delusions to 2 OR take Hands of binding to 3 for a 3/3 split on the 2, thus giving you your playset of Counterflux.

I'll take out an extra Delusions, because HoB is too strong of a card. I'll run a playset, but is 6 ciphers enough for a playset of Stalkers? I guess if all else fails, they'll just stay out on the board and tick away if I don't get a cipher.

I guess it would be more necessary to put that in rather than the sideboard. While 6 Ciphers could be enough, if they stay out on the field with, I'll still have a decent amount of spells in the grave, so I could see.
Thinking of dropping a Think Twice and Counterflux.. just because Flashback will take it out.
Or Pillar instead of Counterflux.
