Would you play with or against this?

So, I've been building a set of cards to go along with the planeswalker I made for the Origins Planeswalker challenge (or, more specifically, a direct-to-plainswalker version). I'm interested in thoughts and opinions and suggestions but, especially, evaluations for balance and rules. The point was to be an entire 60 card deck, where every card is a red/blue gold card, and I made three non-basic lands to accompany the deck. (Also, and I'm actually kind of proud of this, all of the art is is fan-art of Lina from Dota 2)

Let me know what you think! Would you play with it? Would you play against it?

    I would play against it. It seems really irritating to play against, since it's literally ALL countermagic and burn spells. I'd run a blue/white control deck with Absolute Law and Ivory Mask, backed by a bunch of Last Words and Counterfluxes.

    Hah, yup. That'd be rough. Let me know what you think I should do to give it some diversity! (though, you know, obviously, the point was to make it heavily focused on counters and burn. I like counters and burn!)

    Probably a deck with lots of Goblins. you can destroy some, and counter more, but they keep coming.
  • Animorpher9Animorpher9
    is what I would use against that.
