Wait till turn 3, Pay one colorless mana and play the Phyrexian Dreadnought. Then as it resolves and its ability triggers, pay a blue and a colorless to counter the triggered ability with trickbind. since trick bind has split second, no one can counter it and you get a 12/12 deadnought on turn 3.

Stifle is good, but not when it can be countered so easily with a 2 mana counterspell. Most people won't waste the counter on phyrexian cause they know it has to be sacrificed. That's when you play the uncountable trickbind and keep your phyrexian on turn 3.
