I've been toying with the idea of an American control deck for post DGM standard. Things that I am particularly looking to counter are Sire Of Insanity and Voice of Resurgence from DGM while maintaining the ability to counter the normal Olivias, Aristocrats, Hellkites, Thragtusks, and Huntmasters.

After the SCG Open in Somerset I am more convinced than ever that this is closer to the proper build of UWR than anyone else is playing. It may not be fully optimal just yet but it's definitely getting there.
