UW Control with a main wincon of Aetherling beatdown. It's meant to control the board until it's safe to drop Aetherling who can hopefully beat them down in three turns. Thassa is there to help get useful draws every turn thanks to her scry 1, and occasionally she becomes a creature to beat down the enemies. Elspeth is in there as an alternate wincon if for some reason I don't run into Aetherling or if Aetherling gets targeted by Slaughter Games or Pithing Needle. Jace, Memory Adept is in the sideboard as an alternate wincon for the same reason.

I may add in some more guildgates. The one Azorius Guildgate is there because I only have 3 Hallowed Fountains and I'm too cheap to buy a fourth. Mana fixing hasn't been too much of an issue though. The temples are in there as Islands that scry 1 for me. I had them so I put them in for the scry advantage.

The biggest problem I've faced is Slaughter Games. Slaughter Games naming Aetherling hits this deck hard. Extreme aggro can also be an issue, but Cyclonic Rift and Detention Sphere can help hold them off until a Supreme Verdict comes along to blow up their board presence and mess up their plans. This deck still needs a lot of work though.
