Hey guys!
For those of you who have watched my videos in the past, thank you for watching, and I apologize for the delay. For newcomers, welcome!
This is my first post of a video of me piloting a standard deck. I rock a 5 Color Control brew, similar but different from Joe Losset's most recent list (primarily because I simply cannot afford Jaces and quite that number of fetches).
Here is the link to me playing it. Let me know what you think of my playing and the deck.
Also, here is the link to my current deck list (I apologize for the lack of description as of now).

VampireArmy: I'm glad you found it enjoyable. :)
I haven't had much trouble playing on Cockatrice. I see a lot of jank and a lot of top level meta stuff. The players are generally better than those on Untap, and phases are shown on the side in a clearer fashion; those are the reasons I prefer it.
Out of curiosity, did I make any glaring errors in my play aside from not knowing what Blight Herder does and forgetting the cast trigger on the Sower?

Nah even cfb has that happen a lot though you'll probably be seeing sower more often in the meta in any ramp deck worth a damn.

Yeah, that's true. And reflecting on it, keeping Crackling Doom in hand served me well. Had I waited until my turn to Doom him and attacked, he would've resolved the second Sower with my only way of dealing with it being Abzan Charm. Without knowing if he had a counter in hand (he clearly did not given the conclusion of the match), that would have felt flimsy to me.
Any thoughts on the deck? Obviously, Joe Lossett's version with Jaces and Nissas took 3rd at a recent SCG Open, but my card selection varies pretty far from what he's got in certain areas.

I'm not the expert on control by any measure but i think the list is fine as is. I think ugin gives you a bit of trouble (or at least it seems so) so maybe anticipate it if you see either ramping or control? Outside of that i can only think to throw 1 Ruinous Path in your sideboard

Ah, Ruinous Path would, indeed, be good. I will add it to cards I'm considering since most of the cards in the deck are still in flux.
Thanks for watching the video and for your comments, man.

That was rather entertaining actually. Great work man. No issues with playing on trice? I've been tempted to run a session on there but i was afraid I'd get flagged down
