Have all the fun while your opponent has none!

I am trying to help a friend of mine pick his new deck for standard, all he knows is that he wants to play with white and preferably no more than 2 colors. That means I can't force him to play Esper :( BUT I can have him play the next best thing: UW Control!

Depending on how things swing this deck could slowly turn into a UW Spirit Tempo instead of staying UW Control, BUT until then any help will be appreciated.

So while making this deck I just tried to stuff good cards in without actually thinking of the synergy they may or may not have with one another; although, in my defense I made the deck not only in a hurry but while at work.

Anyways, so the deck wants to be a control deck so the tempo tools have to go. That means I am going to completely cut all copies of Spell Queller and all copies of Elder Deep-Fiend. They are both great cards, but Queller is not that great in a deck that wants to keep the field clear and will cast multiple board-wipes in one game, not just that but he is not the most optimal creature you want to sac to Elder-Deep. Speaking of which, this deck does not run enough creatures to reliably Emerge it in the early game.

Eight slots just freed up in the deck, so what will I add to the deck? Let's start off by moving all 4 copies of Gideon, Ally of Zendikar from the side to the main. I am then going to add another Torrential Gearhulk, two copies of Linvala, the Preserver, and move the other copy of Fumigate from the side to the main.

Quite a lot of slots have opened up in the side, which I will fill as soon as I take a look at some more cards. In the meantime I want to find more instant speed removal to throw in the main board as I ideally would like to replace cardUnsubstantiate, as it is a good tool for a tempo deck, but we want to get rid of a thing not simply delay it.

As always all suggestions are welcome!
