I used to play similar control decks back in m12-13. I quit playing a little after Innastrad came out. Just got back into Magic when a card shop in my town showed up 2 blocks away from me. In any case I don't have a ton of standard cards but I made due with what I had.

Things I am concerned about:

Card Draw --- There doesn't seem to be any good draw spells in this block, but there is a decent amount of scry so maybe that is an option. read the bones since i'm in black?

Counter Spells --- psychic strike?

2/28 Overall 2 wins 2 losses FNM

Match 1: 1-2 against a Green/Blue Kiora Deck.

Game 1: lost without a sweeper. Game 2: Won with a combination of Jace Milling and AEtherling damage. Game 3: dealt with everything he threw at me early and mid game. finally he dropped a mistcutter hydra for 6. Couldn't draw into anything to deal with it.

Match 2: 2-0 against Blue/White weenies + counterspells + daxos

Game 1: took some damage from soldier of the pantheon and other random white weenies. stabilized and got an Elspeth online. Took the game with 3/3 flying tokens. Game 2: he didn't draw much land, but i knew he had a syncopate in his hand from an early thoughtsieze. waited till i had 10 land to play AEtherling because he kept not playing anything to tap out.

Match 3: 1-2 against RDW

Game 1: got punched in the face by every red haste creature in standard. Game 2: turn 4 dropped a Supreme verdict, Turn 5 had do play another one bc there were 3 creatures looking at me again. got an Obzedat online turn 6 to stabilize and win the game. Game 3: After a long battle I finally got an Obzedat online around turn 8. Swung once only to die to double burn spells.

Match 4: 2-0 against White/Green Angel Mega Healing combo. Game 1: 3 detention spheres on all the combo pieces. never got much healing off. Elspeth Did lots of damage being minused on drop to deal with 3 creatures, then ticked up 4 times making trades with soldier tokens. finally got an AEtherling online for the win. Game 2: Total lock down. Countered/killed almost everything they dropped pre turn 4. On turn 4 dropped Jace 4 for a -2. Turn 5, minused Jace4 again, then played Jace5 to start milling. Hit some pretty crutial parts of their deck with the first mill. Got Elspeth online turn 6 and started making tokens. They hit a pretty hefty land pocket and I got to ultimate Elspeth and swing for game with 9 3/3 flyers.
