My first standard control deck. I thought I'd start with W/U before going to Esper and dropping fat cash on Thoughtseize, Blood Baron, etc. The idea is to rip through the deck as fast as possible with Quicken / Azorius Charm / Sphinx's Revelation to get to what I need, wrath 1-3 times per game, and win with AEtherling, Jace, or Elspeth, but you already knew that.

I need some help, both with the sideboard itself and knowing what to take out for each matchup. Pithing Needle vs Gruul, Gainsay vs Esper or MUD, Last Breath vs aggro (or MUD?) is about as far as I've thought ahead.
