If you were going that route I'd go Read the Bones because of the scry 2 option it gives. Card advantage wins games weather people are willing to admit that or not. As for the remark about Ral, I'd agree with Magma Jet/Lightning Strike. Again the scry 2 you get from Magma Jet could put you at a big advantage over your opponent. It's a toss up on trading the -1 damage though for card advantage. Either one can save you in a game depending on your situation.

*EDIT*: Another thing, I'm not liking Omenspeaker for some reason. It's a 2 mana 1/3 wall that lets you scry 2 so it is a good card but I'm feeling like something better could go in it's place. I'm just used to the way I play control though. I hardly have any creature cards. Another thing about Rakdos's Return is it could be one of your finishers. So if you're going to run it make it 2 instead of one.

Ashiok and Ral are slowing the deck down so I'd get rid of them, if you're going to run Anger of the Gods it should probably be maindecked, toil//trouble kinda sucks and there are better cards you can put in it's place, you want more than 3 basic land, you could probably maindeck at least one Rakdos's Return, and you probably should have Steam Vents.



*EDIT*: Looking more at the deck, Ashiok MIGHT work for it but I'm not sure. Give it a few runs. I'm not seeing Ral doing much for you though.

I've always ran 25 land in my control decks and never had issues with land. Although I may just add another scry.

I personally don't run AEtherling in the maindeck but yea, that is another good card to call when facing control.

Slaughter Games calling Elspeth and/or Sphinx's Revelation. You've pretty much killed their deck.

Just a man land and man lands are awesome. Sadly I only have one and since I only have 1 I should probably replace him with another land but oh well.

Na. I want the mana ramp and taking out giant growth would slow the deck down and really crowd the 3 drops. Majority of the mana curve is around 2 so I'd like to keep it that way.

Forget the bow. I forgot all about Unflinching Courage.

Yea I was debating between Spear or the bow but I went with the bow cause you can add additional +1/+1 counters.

If you have people running 4 of that card and it isn't helping them at all then they are not using it right.

Aggro decks don't really utilize draw that much. I like it though, very aggressive deck. Good job.

I'll find room for it. I really like having the scry 2 in Magma Jet.

That's pretty new compared to me. Been playing since 08, anyways this deck doesn't utilize creatures like that. Just gets them from Elspeth.

Nothing really. I just thought she'd be a fun alternate win condition. Get a bunch of 1/1's, pop Elspeth and then play Aurelia.

I used to sideboard in Jace, Memory Adept against control decks to mill them out. I didn't fit him into the sideboard this time, not sure why. I love Counterflux but prefer the scry that Dissolve offers. Syncopate over Counterfulx just cause of the possibility to use it early game if needed.
