I had Ratchet Bomb but took it out and now thinking about putting it back out. Possibly switch it for Jace, Memory Adept.

This deck loses to Stormbreath Dragon and Blood Baron? Yea...I don't think so. Celestial Flare takes care of them fine. Elspeth blows them up, Supreme Verdict can take them out as well. Mill Jace is just an alternate win condition of the deck. Hence why I'm only running one. Really the card I feel I might not need in here is AEtherling. From playtesting, when I have him in my hand, I have tons of other options that I don't need to play him. It would also be a bit hard to play Stormbreath Dragon/Blood Baron if it gets countered.
Inspiration is also 4 mana for 2 cards. If I use Quicken to cast Divination I draw 3 cards instead of just 2.
It's for standard dude and look up any standard control deck and it wont be much different than mine. A few decks like this one just took first at some tournaments. I don't have many counter spells cause I value spot removal over counters. A counter late game after your opponent has things on the board is a dead draw. AEtherling is six mana and all you need is one in your deck. There are plenty of other win conditions in the deck besides AEtherling. It doesn't come off as harsh cause I've been playing standard and control since I started playing magic. So it's safe to say I know what I'm doing.
Instant speed Divination. I do want an AEtherling in the maindeck though. I'll see what I can move around.
If you have any input please comment/like the deck. Hoping to run this at FNM, just need the Elspeth.
Being a big control player, I can tell you now that you want some counters in the maindeck. Four out of the five win conditions require your planeswalkers and if they get countered it isn't that hard to beat the deck. Ashiok turn 3 isn't much of a threat because she'll either get countered with Syncopate or exiled with Detention Sphere. Aggro can't really keep up with her 5 loyalty that early which is a BIG advantage that card holds. I'm assuming you have Gaze of Granite as your pseudo board wipe, which Ratchet Bomb can do that a whole lot better. I'd still prefer Jace, Architect of Thought over Read the Bones but if you couldn't fit him in here then understandable because it's a mill deck. Your creature base is kinda weak although it goes with your deck theme because you're putting things in the yard. I do want to try and make a BUG deck now though, I've never played BUG control. I hope my input helps. *EDIT*: You have ways around Detention Sphere so it isn't too much of a threat but I'd still have counters for your other planeswalkers or just to keep your opponent from playing things you don't want him playing.
If you need assistance with your deck check out my Esper deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/az88/decks/esper-control-10/
It's Esper. He doesn't need to splash red.
I run 4x Jace, Architect of Thought in my Esper control deck. Whatever Read the Bones does for you, Jace can probably do better because you can do it multiple times.
I haven't playtested with this deck yet but I'll still try some runs with Archangel. The Archangel just isn't as effective as AEtherling but I still want to try and use her. If I decide to then I'll update the deck list.
Omenspeaker doesn't really do much. It isn't Augur and people play it like it is. Truth is she helps you set up a draw but that's about it. What she does, the scry lands, or Jace can do a lot better.
Not too big on non standard decks but it looks pretty solid for an enchantment deck.
Apparently lol. Also he hasn't comment since you called him out.
Thought Scour isn't type 2 anymore.
I added in Elspeth. I was debating on putting her in but I couldn't think of any reason not to.
I'm liking these changes better. Let me know what ya'll think. Thank you everyone for your input.
Thanks for the input. As I stated I'm not big on Bant colors. I've never really ran a deck that was Bant so I appreciate the input.
Not sure how I feel about this set up. Need more input please.
If I'm going that route I'd rather keep the instant 5/5 wurm, at least two of them, and drop Detention Sphere. I do like that enchantment though as it can help trigger the angel.
