Please playtest before commenting! I know the decklist looks weird, but it works pretty well...

Here's how it works:

Stay alive long enough to flip Chalice of Life   and ping away at your opponent.

Whitesun's Passage , Timely Reinforcements and Chalice of Life   should keep your health between 10 and 20 until...

..Snapcaster Mage comes in to flash all the instants back, hopefully bringing you above 30 health to flip Chalice of Life   .

Batterskull provides the beef I need to protect and net some life at the same time. Vigilance keeps my blocker available and the fact that its an equipment allows me to sacrifice and move it around if necessary.

Phyrexian Metamorph copies Snapcaster Mage, Chalice of Life   , Batterskull or any threat my opponent might have.

Stonehorn Dignitary combos well with venser and helps to keep the opponents creatures at bay while you continue to control the board.

Venser, the Sojourner pops Snapcaster Mage in and out of the battlefield or bouncing Chalice of Life   to get that precious 30th health.

Think Twice and Ponder to help keep spells in hand and to search out what you need when you need it.

Day of Judgment is pretty much a necessity for survival.

Dissipation Field is meant as a stall tactic before and/or after a Day of Judgment. It pairs with Curse of Exhaustion for good lockdown.

Sphere of the Suns helps to give me the mana I need when I need it and provides some mana-ramp.

Vapor Snag takes care of early threats and gets rid of later ones. A little life loss doesn't hurt either...

Sideboard Tech:

Oblivion Ring replaces Timely Reinforcements against control decks.

Mana Leak replaces Whitesun's Passage against control decks.

Nihil Spellbomb replaces Whitesun's Passage against decks utilizing the graveyard since Grafdigger's Cage locks me out of mine.

Divine Offering finds it way in against mirror matches and Grafdigger's Cage.

Spellskite replaces Dissipation Field and whatever else makes sense against control.
