This is my American Control that I've been working on and would like some feedback on how to make it better. I have been working out the kinks in the deck and took out the three Geist of Saint Traft, a Batterskull, and a Man Leak. What ended up replacing them are the two Spell Snares, two Remand, and the one Sword of Feast and Famine.

The reason why I've taken out one leak for the late game, it hurt me a lot and didn't do much. The Spell Snares are in there against BOB and Tarma mostly but also deal with other two drops. I've thought of trying to run Anticipate for better draw, please share your thoughts about using this spell. It is the closest thing to Ponder and Perodain that blue has to offer. If there is anything you guys can add to fix up the deck that is much appreciated, and please no negative comments from the peanut gallery.
