Worst as in oppressive or worst as in not very powerful? Because I can think of a large variety in the second category...
My bad, I meant that much of your countermagic is considered terrible for the format, but it's cool how this deck makes it work. This deck doesn't seem oppressive in a multiplayer game, but it does seem like it messes with some really powerful interactions people love to abuse. that being said, Nix? I can already imagine how many times I drew that card and wished it was something else, but that would be too cool to finally get to use it.
Thanks for the feedback, I was just seeing your thoughts on a lot of those cards if I ever get around to building a version of this deck.
First off, I really like your deck. I've been wanting to build a blue/white deck for a while, but it's been hard to find a general not very linear, overdone or one that players just outright hate (Grand Arbiter Augustin IV). You're list seems fun just because you're getting away with playing the worst countermagic EDH has to offer. And the little activated ability/trigger hate theme seems like an interactive and weird way to play the game.
Noticing you play a lot of cards that can be useless considering situations in the game, looting effects might be really fitting in the deck starting with Baral, Chief of Compliance like you mentioned. You could also make better use of cards like Foil or Forbid in the same mindset.
I like the low mana curve to your deck so your Armageddon effects don't really hurt you much. A card to add to that is Global Ruin, but a Chrome Mox or Talisman of Progress seems like it would help you stay ahead if you happen to fire those off.

Have you ever considered Talrand, Sky Summoner? Isn't he basically just a Monastery Mentor number 2?
Seeing how you have a very low power curve on your creatures, Dusk // Dawn and Retribution of the Meek seem like they could be decent.
