Here's a deck a hope to play this weekend at a local tournament, and
could use some help tweeking it.

[insert title here]

_Artifacts_
3*Winter Orb
3*Sky Diamond
2*Mind Stone

_Spells_
4*Counterspell
4*Memory Lapse
4*Impulse
4*Time Ebb
3*Force Spike
1*Disrupt

_Creatures_
4*Ophidian
4*Man-O'-War
1*Air Elemental

_Lands_
12*Island
3*Quicksand
3*Ardakar Waste
4*Flood Plain
1*Plains

_Tentitive Sidebpard_
4*Disenchant
2*Honorable Passage
2*Chill
3*Pyroblast
3*Disrupting Scepter (vs. other blue decks, sideboard out Worbs)
1*Pacifism (vs. Scragnoth, anything better?)

Basiclly, it works like "forgotten orb," you try to memory lapse/time
ebb/man-o'-war  any early threats while gaining time/card advantage then
plop down an orb.  Then you can beat down with Ophidians, Man-o-war and
one Air Elemental.  The Force Spikes and Disrupts are good under the
orb, and for countering the first few spells your opponent plays (he'll
usually tap out if everything turns out right)  Also, the orbs slow the
tempo of the game down, which is good for a counterspell deck.

I would love feedback on this deck, especially the sideboard.
