I would probably build something along these lines...

You might want to consider running regular polymorph instead of mass polymorph, since it would allow you to keep the excess tokens while still getting a worldspine wurm back. It's also two mana cheaper, so you could have a Worldspine Wurm on the field a lot sooner than turn six regular

You should definitely have 4x Scuttling Doom Engine for this to have enough solid threats. I would also consider Soul of New Phyrexia as a 1-2 of and definitely 4x Anticipate (which isn't card advantage outright, but it gives you options at instant speed which can make a big difference in your chances of winning), and if you're building for standard you should definitely look into 1-2 Treasure Cruise as well.

Something along these lines perhaps?

Really love reading these articles you've been writing the last couple of weeks, and with the new set in mind i've been brainstorming/playtesting a Temur Control deck that seems like it could be quite good, and was hoping you could take a look at it, since I don't have a lot of experience building control and am looking for other experienced players for input. If you get the chance take a look a this, and thanks regardless. http://www.mtgvault.com/pain42/decks/draconic-control/

Predator Dragon... +10 likes from me if i could lol

Curse of Predation!

ah, got my wires crossed was thinking ascendancy loop, my bad

Ghitu Firebreathing ftw!!!! (alternate for crown of flames)

you might consider darksteel citadel if you're running ensoul artifact. also astral cornucopia can be an ornithopter replacement since you can cast it for 0.

they don't lose one life they mill one card, but otherwise yes

that seems like it would be a good idea. change has been made. haven't tried running four coursers before but i do have and run 3 and know that they perform well. just wasn't sure that i wanted a fourth. i like hydra broodmaster, but i feel like it doesn't really accomplish much here, while it's a 7/7 for 6 mana its monstrosity is difficult to pull off. if i were to put something like that in it would probably be Terra Stomper (since it can't be countered) or Soul of Zendikar (since it has reach)

thinking about throwing nylea in, any thoughts?

Comments and Suggestions are always welcome :)

Chord of Calling now +2, thanks!

right forgot there was another one lol, my bad

Karn would indeed be a win-more type of card, but no more than the eldrazi that you already run. Ugin is easily one of the most powerful boardwipes in the game (only All is Dust is better imo) his positive ability is lightning bolt which is excellent removal in any format, and in a deck like yours his ultimate is going to be playing things like Ulamog and Omniscience. so while i suppose i see your win-more opinion for karn, ugin is useful in enough situations that honestly in your deck where you can play him for 2 colorless he should be an auto-include

Well, realistically you probably don't need a full playset of both of the fetchlands, most standard decks only run 4 anyway, so you could probably get away with 2 of each or three polluted delta and one flooded strand

Would definitely recommend Hunt the Weak over savage punch, it's more expensive mana-wise but i think it will work better for you in the long run as far as pulling off your combo goes.

also if you get the chance you should take a look at this deck, thanks if you get the chance

wrong format man, this deck is built for standard, which is a format that Avacyn isn't legal in.

This is clever, I like the use of Soulfire Grandmaster to recur Grave Strength. Really all I would recommend would be adding fetches if you have the extra cash for polluted deltas and flooded strands.
