Alright guys, this is it. I've completed my decklist for FNM this weekend. I've put a lot of time into trying to get this deck perfect and really hope for some awesome feedback on a nice sideboard.

I would like to take my description to speak about lands. While untapped pain lands are amazing cards, I do not necessarily value them over scry lands. Not in this particular deck at least. The ability to set yourself up for your next turn consistently is more crucial in control than in any other meta. You simply CANNOT grab spells out of your deck and throw them at your opponent as you would in say, a Mardu token deck. You are playing reactively and as is such it is very helpful to know exactly how you are going to react and what you can and cannot deal with. 4 turns out. Flat. Thus, scry lands help you get there exponentially more reliably than pain lands. This is, of course, just my opinion.
