Sphinxs tutelage

I am looking for ideas to make a tutelage deck post rotation. Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated

Here is a thought: Can you wait before we know 1/4 of BFZ to decide if that is a good idea? However:

Almost nothing is going away from the deck as is, so I do not see a problem with making it right now as it is and waiting for BFZ.

Theros cards used in http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/teamcfbp-deck-tech-ur-mill/ are Anger of the Gods (there is a new converge spell for that), temples (not super relevant, deck is not color hungry), Dictate of Kruphix (no obvious replacement), 2 Whelming Wave (Displacement Wave).

You basically only have to replace 2 dictates. Slap 2 Talent of the Telepath in there and call it a day perhaps?

(Sorry if I seem a bit mean here, long day)

I am already running that deck minus the jace. Was just wanting to see if anyone has tried different versions and there experience.

There's no point in worrying about rotation until Battle for Zendikar has been entirely spoiled.

Jace is the centerpiece of the deck btw, everything else revolves around him. Nobody can try a post-rotation deck before rotaion happens, so do not worry about it. Acquiring Jace is more of a priority than rotaiton.

I've got a budget Jace-less version that runs fairly well on MTGO. Monastery Siege is a popular replacement for Dictate and is already appearing as a 4-of in some decks. Displacement Wave could be used in place of Whelming Wave, but some part of me hopes for a more elegant solution (keeps our enchantments in play) in BFZ. Anger of the Gods can be replaced with the Converge spell, but there is a definite difference between exiling and killing stuff, Deathmist Raptor and Hangarback Walker being two prime examples. In other matters, Pyromancer's Goggles as a 1-of is hilarious and surprisingly effective.

I was considering making a blue white version using end hostilities, it isn't exactly an aetherspouts but it works. But if I do white for removal should I make it jeskai for the draw power of Magmatic Insight and Tormenting Voice
