sweet little burn deck you have here! +1
keep going

True, its neither midrange nor control. In case of 24 lands and only 2 colonnades id say go for midrange. If so, id play 4 geist of saint traft. Also i think narset is bad, you cant use the rebounds at instant speed, if you want to play a walker i would suggest the boros ajani with a built in lightning helix.
If you need some more inspiration, check my site, i do have a uwr midrange list (not finished) running mantis rider and lightning angel instead of geist.

i'm stoked +1

Snapcaster is their best friend, the deck really leaped forward as i tested it the first time. 2 should be enough in my opinion. Maybe its a good time to buy them now, it spiked in price resently but seems to be dropping again at the moment. Still its a darn expensive card

i would have done the same if i had an expedition ;-)

sure river of tears is a great land, i simply dont have it yet and im used to this mana base now.. somehow i wanted to cut one ssp because its body is not that amazing and sometimes it feels like a dead card if you dont have your bitterblossom active. vendillion clique on the other hand is a clock if not answered, but often dies instantly, so having 3 of them works fine for me.
But 4ssp and 2vc also works fine i guess

Sweet deck! +1
Can't stand standard prices

mist intruder could work, flying, ingest for two mana pretty much guarantees exiled cards

looks sweet so far! Manabase is not finished i guess ;-)

btw there is a modern uwr control list on the hot page right now, you should check it out

best of the best cards, no need to unlove it... seems like a netdeck from 2013...
i played quite the same list, but i had 1 supreme verdict main and 3 mana leak, 2 spell snare, and only 2 path and 2 remand.

i like your deck, but there are some suggestions i have:
without testing your list, i think there are too many legendary creatures and maybe too many creatures in general for a control deck.

# i think i'd go for just 1 jace and 2 grandmasters, so you can make sure your hand is not filled with creatures you dont need.
you just need to clear the path for geist of saint traft with your burn spells and you have colonnade if that's not enough.

# 3 electrolyze (more burn, more carddraw), 2 cryptic command and only 1 ojutais command (it really is not as good as cryptic)

# reconfigure your counterspells: 3 mana leak was allways a good choice for me. if you run 2 they may come too late and your opponent has the lands to pay for it (you have 3 paths as well... ), also i prefere 2 spell snare because it hits soo many targets in modern

# path is nice but you don't want to give your opponents lands for free, especially when you run 2 ghost quarter as well.
i may be wrong on this, but with more counter and all the burn spells there is no need for more than two paths.

exquisite firecraft is sweet, maybe not worth it but soo fun, keep that!

for sideboard, i don't know about your meta so i wont suggest anything. detentions sphere may be a nice catch all card.

Take a look at magic origins spoiler, so many great elves! Try to get some if we draft next timt

no i think you need black for the removals and the powerfull multicolor cards

Its called grindclock, sorry for missspelling

In a casual deck like this i think traumatize is the coolest card to play. I would keep at least one, even when its at high cost. Nephalia drownyard is a nice utility land. Good suggestion.

4 spider umbra and 3 spirit mantle i would say. Totem armor is pretty important, also a little faster

Grundlock over altar,
Psychic strike over dissolve

4 Thought scour mainboard
Cut some of your creatures and walls, try jace phantasm or hedron crab.

If you have problems with enemy creatures, put some removal like ultimate price or murderous cut into your sideboard.

Sweet deck so far! Sure there are always ways to improve but this seems pretty solid.

Since it is a control deck, i would add some more counterspells like mana leak or dissolve, as well as bounce spells like boomerang or echoing truth. You can cut some of your creatures cause all you may need to win is pearl lake ancient.
Also i think dictate of kruphix you dont need, im sure you find draw spells that doesnt give your opponent extra cards. Try the new anticipate instead.

Looking forward to see this deck in action.

What about bitterblossom? My first faeries deck was very similar to this one. You gonna have so much fun with this.
You may take a look how mine evolved till now.
