Deck Challenge: Control vs RDW [Standard]

RDW is one of the most annoying decks i have faced
The challenge is to create a control deck to handle this annoyance.

Just looked at that RDW. White should have a field day against it. Global kill (eg: Day of Judgment ) and targeted removal (eg: Oblivion Ring ) will sort out the creatures. Shrine of Burning Rage also gets taken out by O-ring, but extra help from artifact hate (eg: Revoke Existence ) won't hurt. The last problem I see is Chandra's Pheonix as it doesn't stay dead, grave hate could help with that (eg: Nihil Spellbomb; Purify the Grave ). The final reason why white would do well is white gains life. Burn decks absolutely HATE lifegain :)

So for a deck geared against RDW, I'd run a white weeny with a decent amount of removal. But that could be because I'm not too good at control :p

Instead of revoke existence i prefer divine offering i pay two destroy as an instant when he ain't expecting and does not has mana free for the shrine and still gain 2 life another must is timely reinforcements

The instant speed is always nice, but revoke has more versatility as it can target enchantments :p
Timely is a definite against that RDW as you'll almost always have less life due to all the burn.
