Hi guys!

Here is a new decklist i'm preparing that is both a reflection of the cards I have available and rotation friendly.

The premise is control. Using early game enchantments to lock down my opponent's creatures and utilize Reflector Mage to establish some small tempo advantage and start the beats if possible. Mid-game control is expected to continue with Jace, Vryn's Prodigy   and/or Gideon, Ally of Zendikar hitting the board and applying some pressure. Archangel of Tithes helps to pressure my opponent's mana sources, though may be largely ineffective against Eldrazi.

Late game, card:Alhammeret, High Arbiter, and Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger shoudl end the game and perhaps Part the Waterveil will help too.

The tremendous upshot of this is that I could use some feedback on any budget improvements you guys can think of. Already i'm looking at it and thinking there isn't enough counter magic, but i have filled the sideboard with cards for the control mirror in mind, as well as some burn/red hate cards too.

Any help would be great! Thanks!
