I'd add in a fourth Lingering Souls and I think Sorin, Lord of Innistrad would do better in this deck than Gideon.

Yea..can't have Contaminated Ground sideboarded. It needs to be in the mainboard to slow down multicolored decks. Not sure what else to put in for win conditions either, thats the issue I'm seeing with MBC nowadays.
I prefer the Sphinx for mass draw and life gain. Going late game with this deck isn't an issue at all.
Check out my Azorius Control deck. Has Gideon in it. http://www.mtgvault.com/az88/decks/azorius-control-2/
Might as well add in a 4th Gideon if you can and also why no board wipe? Another thing is you may want some creatures because when you turn Gideon into a creature it isn't going to be hard to get rid of him. Devour Flesh, yea you may be able to counter it but that goes with any threat that comes at Gideon and you only have five counters. Also Sphinx's Revelation would suit you better than some of those enchantments. Also man...you want other threats because Slaughter Games can't be countered and kills the deck by getting rid of Gideon.
Don't see Thought Scour in here. That's nice card advantage.
Also would have Contaminated Ground. Slowing down multicolored decks is a must and that card will do it for sure.
Thought about adding black but don't have the cards for it. If Slaughter Games is my only threat then I could just switch up the board and add in Nevermore to call Slaughter Games.
Yea it's pretty expensive for an uncommon, lol. I got lucky and got two from a friend and then a third came in the Venser vs. Koth box. Also Akroma's Memorial doesn't really fit into this deck. I mean it's a nice card but white aggro has to hit quick and by the time you draw that card you'd want the game to be over.
If you want exile look into Path to Exile. It's probably one of the best uncommons out there. Swords to Plowshares is good but I'd trade life for a land anyday. It's the lesser of two evils. Also did you try Honor of the Pure? If you have room for it at least.
This is a standard deck and Mana leak is no longer viable in standard.
Lots of burn lol. How has it done against creature heavy decks? Look's like against a slow deck like control it could make a dent.
Cool deck idea. If you don't get Burn at the Stake you'll at least have token aggro to keep pressure. Check out my Grixis Control deckhttp://www.mtgvault.com/az88/decks/grixis-control/
I like it. Not too bad at all. Check out mine: http://www.mtgvault.com/az88/decks/esper-control-5/
Not a big fan of Lingering Souls and when I would run them with Vault of the Archangel I was always wishing Vault of the Archangel was a land that produced an actual color.
Thanks for the tips everyone, I wanted to run this without Arbor elf actually but if I have to add him in I will. I agree with running 4 Beastmaster so I'll add in another and switch out the Oblivion Ring to see the difference. Thanks for all the tips, keep them coming!
That's how we roll.
I wanted to do that but I have no Thundermaw Hellkites. I will try to trade for them though. Thanks for the input though, it helped a lot.
I redid the board entirely, and kept the syncopates in for some early game counters. I took out one Jace as well. Any more suggestions would help out, thanks!
Looks pretty solid but I'm not a big player of Jund. I'm more of a control player and I kinda flop in the aggro department lol. I need your input though, I fixed up the American Control deck and followed some of your suggestions. I haven't play tested it since the changes but just want to know if you could reccomend anything else http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=400688
