More Boros Charms, less counterflux, glacial fortress and clifftop retreat, Aurelia's Fury, and odric is amazing with Aurelia, Ral Zarek, or maybe Tamiyo

i dont like the lands like clifftop retreat and sulfur falls because they are being cycled out soon. but i will probably give odric a try and once i get a hold of a ral zarek it will be in the deck.

That make's sense, but I was playing agaisnt someone in my Meta when he had Odric, and Aurelia and just dominated with odric's batallion like effect. 2 combat phases directly to the face.

Great starting foundation but needs a few alterations:
Creatures - Add in either Augur of Bolas or Snapcaster Mages (and remove the chromatic lanterns), and drop to 2/3 Aurelias. Maybe consider a couple of Restoration Angels as well?

Spells - For a control deck I would say around 7 counter spells is enough - Not a huge fan of Render Silent so would have 3 Counterflux, 2 Dissipate and 2 Izzet Charms in the deck (with an additional Counterflux on sideboard against control decks). With so few creatures I would take out the Blasphemous Acts and maybe drop 1 Supreme Verdict to Sideboard. Consider Searing Spear or Pillar of Flame for cheap removal, and an absolute must is Sphinx's Revelation (2/3 is best). Otherwise consider something like Think Twice.

Enchants - I would go to 2 Detention Spheres (one sideboard for tokens/creature heavy).

Hope this helps, I've made a Patriot Flash Control deck as well if you want to check it out - http://www.mtgvault.com/buzzgsc/decks/patriot-flash-rwu/
