Azorius U/W control. My meta is mostly aggro so it is geared a little more against those decks in main with most sideboard options for mirror or other control match ups.Would love to have Elspeth and Jace, AoT in here but don't own any and can't afford to buy any at the moment so I'm working with what I have.

I like your style...I'd use only 1 Essence Scatter mainboard & 1 of the Render Silent-s there as well(unless you have a 4th Sphinx's Revelation)...I'd have 1 more Needle in the sideboard, 1 more Negate & no Quicken at all...Watcha' think about this one?.. : http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/chain-of-detention/

Thanks, I tend to gravitate towards control decks.A lot of the choices I made in the deck are really based on my local meta-game and the cards I had available to me. The Render Silents are really stand-ins for more Dissolve since I only have 2 of them and I ended up going with Essence Scatter main because of the creature heavy aggro decks I face. If I had a 4th Sphinx's Rev I would definitely put that in as well. The quicken were really more of a play style preference than anything, I like to play as much as possible on my opponents turn and little as possible on my own turn with this deck so I'll quicken into divination or sometimes save them to play a supreme verdict to wipe my opponent's hasty creatures. I could swap them out for other spells that may work just as well, I tend to constantly tweak my deck a little bit here and there.I like your American deck too, I'll post my comments on your actual deck.
Sure, I get it that it's aggro heavy right now... ...all the places I play at, 40-45% of players play mono-B or U or R & R/G devotion-aggro, sometimes Boros aggro, many play even "Red Deck Wins", aggro orientated izzet(instant/sorcery boost), Selesnya aggro, Dark Selesnya aggro, Esper tempo-aggro...Most of the time, I play control... ...my favorite is Bant, tough it's not too relavent at the moment... ...my most competative decks right now are my Esper & Oros(R/B/W) control decks.......Quicken sure is useful at times, but most of the time, it just fills your hand & cost you 1 unnesesarry mana, tough you still get 1 card ahead in your deck, so it's not bad... ...at times, an Instant-speed Verdict changes the game, that's why I used to play Alchemist's Refuge when it was standard... ...but you really don't have other spells worth to be used Quicken on.......
good build! had i the resources this is what my U/W deck would look like!just my two cents...i would main render silent and sb cyclonic rifti just see render silent doing more good especially early on...might be one more mana but the control and spell stoppage is worth it imo
Thanks! :-)The control match-up is where you really want more counter spells. I face-off against too many fast aggro decks to really warrant putting any more counters in. I have so much control in D-sphere, Azorius Charm, Celestial Flare, Cyclonic Rift and Supreme Verdict that my opponent can play all the creatures they want; I can almost always handle the hordes without taking much damage. If I were playing against more midrange and control match-ups I would put more counters main board but I really do like watching my opponent's face when overloading Cyclonic Rift against my aggro opponents with multiple creatures, planeswalkers, and enchantments out.
that makes perfect sense to me, i just end up playing against more control decks in my area...everyone plays either mono black devotion, U/R/W control, R/G aggro, or B/W whipi have had decent luck running 2 martial law also, but i think here that would get in the way of blind obedienceand quickening a supreme verdict sounds like a rage-win condition all on its own
