-1 Chancellor of the Annex. I see how it fits your play and it goes with the theme but its a really high CMC for White/Blue.
-1 Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker again I see the play. The problem is that cards like this get put into play and then just sit there. they dont do much for board state and youll eventually be board wiping them anyways.
I would think maybe adding Scroll Rack, Brainstorm, or MORE mana rocks. Wayfarer's Bauble, Armillary Sphere are some

The way your deck is set up is a weird mix of mana denial, pillowfort, and other semi-controllish elements and just a bunch of goodstuff. If you want to spec more into the mana denial route, Brago, King Eternal is pretty much as good as it gets in U/W as he flips up all your mana rocks and can even be used to combo with stuff like Strionic Resonator and Sol Ring.
Still, if you want to use this deck, I highly recommend you start shaving down your curve and eliminating the goodstuff. Things like Karn Liberated aren't very good in EDH. Your curve really ought to be 2.5 or 3.0 at most. Stuff like Luminarch Ascension, Entreat the Angels, etc. should act as your primary win cons if you're going for the pillowfort strategy.
What is the direction you want to push this deck in?

I want control, but with big creatures as my win, using Omniscience to cast them
June 22, 2015 9:58 a.m.
But you have no reliable way of getting Omniscience out. Even if you do, you don't have haste, so killing people will take time. As a general rule of thumb, killing people with damage is usually not very efficient in EDH. In a 4 player game, you'd need to do 120 damage to kill everyone. That's a lot. Still, if that's your plan, you should consider more accessible stuff. Think Baneslayer Angel. Efficient, relevant abilities, and not too expensive.

Alright. I like the eldrazi because at least in my play group I get one or two out, and people start scooping
June 22, 2015 10:50 a.m.
I'd cut:
- every walker other than Jace
- Admonition Angel
- Eight-and-a-Half-Tails
- Glen Elendra Archmage
- Godhead of Awe
- Iona, Shield of Emeria
- Phyrexian Revoker
- Spellskite
- Spelltithe Enforcer
- Voidmage Husher
- Dovescape
- Energy Flux
- Azorius Chancery
- Maze of Ith
- Hurkyl's Recall
- 1 of your boardwipes
- Damping Matrix
- Gilded Lotus
- Mycosynth Lattice
- Thran Dynamo
OK, so that's a lot of cards. I highly suggest you put in more efficient artifact accelerants. Azorius Signet, Talisman of Progress, Mind Stone, Darksteel Ingot etc. You want to be able to cast spells. Ramp means nothing if you can't actually cast stuff to begin with. You're also going to want to have more draw power. Think cards like Fact or Fiction. You're also going to want to get a Mystical Tutor and some efficient countermagic. Stuff like Swan Song, Delay, Dispel, Arcane Denial, etc. kick some major ass in commander.
As for the big creatures you want to run, you have to think of the stuff you play in terms of utility. Sun Titan, Consecrated Sphinx, Drogskol Reaver, Clever Impersonator, Mother of Runes, Kira, Great Glass-Spinner, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Hanna, Ship's Navigator, etc.

you may want to look my version of arbiter for any other cards you might need, but I can't think of any right now. the only ones I can are Static Orb and Fabricate.

Mystical Tutor and Dovescape, but I'm not the best at cutting cards, so get a second opinion.
June 22, 2015 9:36 p.m.
Never EVER cut tutors. Especially mystical. Shit's one of the best blue EDH cards ever.
June 22, 2015 9:46 p.m.
Agree with TheDevicer you can Mystical Tutor for Entreat the Angels at end of player's turn just before you go. Untap, bam!
June 23, 2015 7:49 a.m.
You should add a Path to Exile and take out Dovescape. with Dovescape running 16 creatures is a bad idea because your opponent will swarm you unless you get a Propaganda or the like out which you cannot because of dovescape. If you are playing dovescape to get creatures from your spells then make white-blue tokens even though that isn't a thing.
June 23, 2015 5:36 p.m.
Also because you are are not on a budget add a Tundra, take out a island.

Path is not as good as swords because of the land it gives my opponent, negating the effect of my commander that hurts them. I like dovescape, and it combos well with tami and omniscience, but it might end up being cut

Have you considered Aegis of the Gods is makes you hexproof. Good protection from burn spells.

i know you wanted me to look this over, buuut to be blunt i am not a control player. so i only mildly grasp what your wincons are and such. anyway, since you dont appear to be on a budget with this deck, you could consider running The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale.
lol jk.
but all jokes aside, you may want to run some more tutors or stuff that lets you fish spells from the graveyard (i.e. snapcaster esq. cards). also a fun way you could try to cheat out an Omniscience would be Lost Auramancers. if you sol ring turn one and auramancer turn 2, that means omniscience is out on turn 5. otherwise, you still eat up a kill spell pretty early.
take this with a grain of salt, cuz once again, aggro player XD
oh, i was also gonna ask, why Swords to Plowshares, and no Path to Exile? just curious
June 26, 2015 6:44 p.m.
Tacticsninja16782 says... #24
The reason is because my commander wants to keep my opponents from playing spells. Path gives them land, which is a problem. Thanks for your advice, I think I will find a place for auramancer

Suppression Field would be a nice addition in here. It slows people down and makes them mad at the same time.
Edit: Also, why no Leyline of Sanctity? It seems like an amazing edition to the deck.
