I have been working on my Uw control and Last Breath seems like a great side board addition. Have you looked at Glare of Heresy if we start seeing more mirror matches or abzan aggro?

I would replace Divination with Weave Fate. It may cost 1 more, but it is instant and can allow you to respond with counters if necessary on turns 3 & 4, while keeping the option to draw open.
I'd also drop 1 Prognostic Sphinx and add in Jace, the Living Guildpact. He fixes your draws, feeds your Delves while you are waiting mid game to fill the graveyard, and can bounce threats which are otherwise difficult to remove, at least delaying their combos, wins, ect, so you can take over. His ultimate is a 1 sided Timetwister too, so that's always fun.
I'd also drop both of the Jace's Ingenuity and add 1 more Dig Through Time and 1 Medomai the Ageless. Extra turns are nice and if the board is clear with the enemy top decking it really helps you maintain control. If he is in your hand and you do not foresee playing him anytime soon just use him to hexproof Prognostic Sphinx.

Thanks for the suggestions FriagneI already tried everything you suggested in a previous version of this deck, but now I'm gonna tell you why I removed those cards.
Weave Fate was basically stupid to use, because for one more mana i could have 3 cards ((Jace's Ingenuity)) and I replaced it with 2 Divinations because it costs less and it is sorcery speed.
I used to have one Jace, the Living Guildpact, but I didn't had Dig Through Time yet so he was useless.. I'll probably add another one of him very soon.
And about Medomai the Ageless I had a 1x of him, but he got destroyed by Stoke the Flames which is used alot in my local meta so yeah..
Don't forget the +1 if you liked my deck :)

I have a very similar deck that I used at my FNM sometimes that I decided to post after seeing this. OFC, with this type of deck I typically do not play a creature until I get around 9 mana to ensure I can still counter threats.It is a fun deck to play. Already +1. :)

i would cut the Prognostic Sphinx for a Pearl Lake Ancient an extra Jace's Ingenuity and Disdainful Stroke. In my blue white control decks he just never felt good and i know pearl lake isn't great but they games tend to run to long without him.

You kinda did. You posted a link to your deck on someone elses and didn't leave a comment about their own deck.

Hey MarlukTheWise your version looks good can you tell me why you run Prognostic Sphinx over Pearl Lake Ancient and can you look over my build http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/14-02-15-uw-control-fate-reforged-competive/
Thank You

Reprisal I just like the fact that it can have hexproof, it has flying and you get to scry 3 everytime you deal dmg :)

Davik100 UW control isn't that efficent in this season of standard, and if i get rid of Prognostic Sphinx and my Elspeth gets exiled/countered or any other thing, I'm basically fucked.
Also, 4 Last Breaths are too much imo, i will only need them in certain match ups and it was sometimes a dead card in some games for me.
