With the addition of Stronghold Blue has gained what was lost when the Ice
age block left type II.  More Counters and a Great Flyer.

Here is the Type II Blue deck that I have playteseted with and used at a
couple local tournament(non-sanctioned)

4 CounterSpell
4 Dissipate
4 Mana Leak
4 Dismiss
2 Desertion
2 Static Orb
4 Impulse(Ophidian/Sift)
2 Whispers of the Muse(Mind Games)
4 Silver Wyvern
4 Suq'Ata Firewalker
3 Tradewind Rider
3 Sapphire Medallion

18 Island
3 Quicksand
Sideboard:
3 Chill
4 Propoganda
2 Dreamtide
2 Null Rod
2 Magical Hack
2 Floodgate

  Main:  Cards in parenthesis are what I may switch for. If i take the
Opphidian/Sift then I will definatley switch for the Mind Games to turnoff
the Storb.  With 18 counters and the limited number of decks people are
playing in Type II it should be pretty easiy to know what to counter after
the first few turns are finished.

  Sideboard:  Floodgate is in there for any weenie hordes, except blue. I
have yet to see a blue weenie horde even though it is very possible now.
Hacks are for boil/tsunami/choke. Null Rod is for Disks/Scrolls/Diamonds.

Email comments/ideas are welcome.
