Why there is more creatures in sideboard than main deck: I am a person that likes Instants/Sorceries over Creatures... I have made a deck a little like this a few weeks ago but I decided to switch over to black with some better defencives.

Should some creatures be in the library to fit with some artifact theme or something like that? I am thinking of some of these incase I run into a creature heavy or a deck with little creatures?

Are there any good cards from Alara Reborn that would fit with this theme?

Spell Snip and Traumatic Visions are horrible. If you want counterspells, go with Soul Manipulation and Punish Ignorance. Lapse of Certainty is also not that good in you deck. I'd replace them with Courier's Capsules to make sure you'll always have stuff in hand. Kiss of the Amesha is good vs Aggro decks, granted, but not really against control. I'd rather max out Esper Charms instead (and take out the Hindering Light; it's duties are covered by the Countersqualls). I'd also remove the lone Obelisk (what does it do anyways?) and the Unsummons (they are meh at best) and look at Executioner's Capsule and Wretched Banquet (Since you don't have much guys, you're almost guaranteed to hit your opponent's creature with it). Finally, since you're going with an Artifact sub-theme, it would be a shame to not add Sharuum, wouldn't it?

I have not had a single card from Alara Reborn and no copies of Punish Ignorance...
Courier's Capsules: I am having a hard time even finding one in my collection but I may have to be looking harder in case I put it into my Shadowmoor Block... (edit I am seriously wondering where they went because I bought a half a box of Shard's or Alara a month ago and I am sure I would have quite a few commons >.<)
I have maxed out on my Esper Charms until I can get to a singles shop
I have been editing the deck a bit and thinking about removing Obelisk of the new artifact mana sources from Reborn granted I can get some...
Unsummons are out but I have not changed the list yet and for some odd reason I have only 2 Executioner's Capsule...
Sharuum will be added if I find one due to being budgeter and my area has a lot of sub-par players except for one other so I hardly see many good decks...

A few of this was just changed before I read your comment and I am trying to find cards to work around but again my area hates proxies so I can't test ideas...

This is my second rouge for magic so it will be bound to have it's flaws and am not allowed to get some things done (dang age area)
