Three Steps Ahead

Spree (Choose one or more additional costs.)
+ {1}{U} — Counter target spell.
+ {3} — Create a token that's a copy of target artifact or creature you control.
+ {2} — Draw two cards, then discard a card.

Simulacrum Synthesizer

When Simulacrum Synthesizer enters, scry 2.
Whenever another artifact you control with mana value 3 or greater enters, create a 0/0 colorless Construct artifact creature token with "This creature gets +1/+1 for each artifact you control."

Sleight of Hand

Look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the other on the bottom of your library.

Terisian Mindbreaker

Whenever Terisian Mindbreaker attacks, defending player mills half their library, rounded up.
Unearth {1}{U}{U}{U} ({1}{U}{U}{U}: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step or if it would leave the battlefield. Unearth only as a sorcery.)

Skitterbeam Battalion

Prototype {3}{R}{R} — 2/2 (You may cast this spell with different mana cost, color, and size. It keeps its abilities and types.)
Trample, haste
When Skitterbeam Battalion enters, if you cast it, create two tokens that are copies of it.

Long River's Pull

Gift a card (You may promise an opponent a gift as you cast this spell. If you do, they draw a card before its other effects.)
Counter target creature spell. If the gift was promised, instead counter target spell.
