Trying to out race the control deck is about card advantage, considering the number of counterspells, you get outclassed by their Silumgar's Scorn/Dragon package, so if I were you, I'd slam it full of dragons and Scorn so you can match them, but also outpace them when you need to. Secure the Wastes is an awesome card, Andrew Cuneo uses it to great effect in his match in the feature match area

Why? It is a pretty weak card?
I'd actually keep the Vault over the other stuff, having watched Adrian Sullivan use it, it takes out Walkers, who are such an issue for decks like this
Elspeth, Secure the Wastes and Sarkhan are all win conditions
I actually don't really like EDH but I'll consider it
Looked at your creatures and I was like "Whats this guy on? He doesn't need my help, this is fine" then I saw non-creature spells... they simply don't fit in the deck. You want to centre in on your creatures, the only non-creature stuff you want main board is burn and stubborn denial (especially Crater's Claws). You essentially need to be Temur Dragons, cut those enchantments, add Icefall regent and the new Sarkhan. Both Surraks would suit here, the newer one being better in a deck like this, also something to consider is Outpost siege because, well, digging is awesome! Then you want a tonne of burn, Atarka's command, Draconic Roar and Wild Slash with Crater's Claws as your end game. A 1 of Dig through Time wouldn't be bad if you can fit it in as well.
Done it, hopefully it helps
If I were you, I'd have Dragonlord Ouj and a mixture of thunderbreak and icefall regent because then you can use draconic roar (little bits of damage might help to close it out when you need to!) un-conterable Dragonlord's prerogative and Silumgar's Scorn, which should give you the speed you need vs esper/abzan whilst keeping fundamentally control- great deck though! Vault needs more good standard decks like this
It might be tough on the mana, but they are too good to pass up, they are the best removal spells in standard and control has enough fixing between Dismal Backwater, Polluted Delta and Temple of Deceit. Seeker isn't really a control card, it takes up valuable space for a removal spell or a draw spell. Dig needs to be here, it is standard's Sphinx's rev
Mentor/seeker package doesn't really fit in the board wipe plan, but banishing light is for sure good! Encase in Ice is awesome, it hits pretty much everything in standard, but Vaan you missed the main reason for black! Hero's Downfall! The bane of the aggro decks! Bile Blight would also be awesome, and going into black allows the use of Dragonlord Silumgar and Silumgar the drifting death
Temples are really needed in control, also you need something ,like End Hostilities or Perilous Vault to sweep up the board, you don't need as many counters but you do need more spot removal, might as well splash black and go into Esper dragons
Although cut necromaster dragon for 2 more hero's downfall because it is awesome!
It is any kind of grammar, it took me a while to realise xD Glad I can be of service! SCG and Channel Fireball do great articles

Oh it would literally have your name and the link to this deck, because the aim is to try and get competitive standard decks onto the hot page to improve the vault because right now its a bit pants! If I were you, I'd make what you want it to look like, its an incentive to make a deck look super pretty, its what I do!
EWWWWWWW JUSTEN! STOP MAKING GOOD CONTROL DECKS BUDDY xD Freaking awesome deck man, feel free to post it up on my articles, with your permission, I will too because decks like this on the hot page improve MTG vault
If I were you, Whisperwood elemental all the way, also ghostfire blade is pretty epic, and any megamorph/ morph would be awesome, for example, Den Protector because them combos with raptor, if you don't mind, can I use this in an upcoming article I'm writing, its about improving MTGVault and this deck has potential
Awesome thanks, I hope you have a read of my articles, the brainstorming ones, easy to find, a couple are on the hot page rn
Great deck, I would suggest Keranos, he is a real bomb, if it is OK with you, can I post this deck to my articles (Brainstorming) because it fits in with 'Make MTGVault better!'
