Deck Description

New version of a deck I am trying out.

Everflowing Chalice to alleviate the burden of casting my expensive creatures/walkers while leaving mana open for control.

Admonition Angel +Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds combo for exiling two permanents in one turn.

2x of each Oust and Condemn to make the deck more robust. Oust powerful creatures at sorcery speed to not give opponents too much life, Condemn otherwise if instant speed is needed vs haste or if it is a cheap utility creature that is dangerous to leave in play.

Lots of card advantage due to Preordain, Wall of Omens and Mr. Mindsculptor.

Venser can allow beefy flyers to be unblockable and blink them out if they are being controlled by an Arrest or something similar.

Silence is always good to have around for obvious reasons (protecting your mana during your turn or making them ffffuuuuu during theirs).

Mystifying Maze for more creature control.

Sunblast Angel for more creature control.

Nicely built, it's a bit different to the norm but it works consistently =) I made a U/W control with mill as the 1st win condition, it's torn up aggro etc at the clubs despite mill being not 'viable'

I like it, not a planeswalker person myself, but this is a quality control.
I'm asking of you one thing, bemuse me with a legacy design of this.

I have the Isochron Sceptre x4 and Orim's Chant x4. You have NO IDEA how hard it was to behave and stay standard!!! I am going to think of a nice legacy setup with a similar theme today ;) hehehe

Get rid of the Seachromes and run 3 more Celestial Colonnades and 1 more Terramorphic. Helps with an alternate win condition AND more Admonition Angel fun. :)

I have some Sideboard questions for you. I like what you've done, but what would you sideboard out? It is really helpful to know what you are going to get rid of before you need to sideboard.

Also, you're mana curve is a little weird. You have tons of one and two drops, but almost no three drops. Do you find a problem with this, or is it okay?

Overall, an excellent control deck. Good work.

I forgot to mention this, but you might want some Tectonic Edges, maybe sideboarded. Cause everyone plays with dual lands and man-lands, and being able to destroy those is pretty nice.

Versus anything red or green I will replace the cancels/2x mana leak with the flashfreeze. Versus anything reliant on creature abilities I will switch in Linvala for baneslayers. Leonin arbiter will replace a silences on decks that rely heavily on searching. On decks that rely heavily on chants/facts but not so much creatures I would thin out condemns and ousts for revoke existances. As for ratchet bombs, it really depends on what archetype im facing depending on what I would switch out for it. I don't really have a set list to switch out based on archetypes for this deck due to it being so control-ish. I really just have my sideboard for switching out for better control cards than I have in it originally based on what I'm facing. As I play the deck more, the more I learn what to switch. I am enjoying the deck a lot!!!

Thanks so much for the comments. I'll reply to the mana curve question as I play it out a bit more! Great suggestions, by the way.
