Also, you don't need 26 land, Old control decks ran that much land because they had cards like Sphinx's Revelation and Syncopate , you, have no X spells, so you don't need it, you're fine to run 24 land and put in the 3rd and 4th Crackling Doom

your mana base is a little awkward. you should replace 2 of the temple of malice with a temple of silence and a caves of koilos. also basic plains are more relevant than basic mountainsand you also only need one urborg.

Monsters after you play Anger of the Gods and take away their mana dorks they either have to take damage or remove their threats.

You need some more win conditions.

My call would be 3 copies of Stormbreath Dragon . He has protection from most of the metagame removals, and can monster for further damage. As a bonus, all the serious boardwipes and exile spells from the format depend on white, like Duneblast , End Hostilities and Banishing Light .

For the 3 slots you can drop 1 Bile Blight , 1 Hero's Downfall and a Utter End . They are expensive and/or double mana restricted spells. They are good, but you can live just fine with only 3 of each.

Read the Bones is better for you. Lower color restriction, and a scry to take out the useless crap.

You can pay that extra mana for it.

i'm a bigger fan of Sign in Blood then read the bones but thanks for the advice

Honestly, Sign in Blood is a GREAT card BUT -- would not Read the Bones give you access to seeing more cards? Its been my observation that in a "controlish" type theme deck Read the Bones is simply better, though costing 1cmc more at the cost of seeing more cards of course.
