I would play some sort of blue dig spell to find the combo pieces (like ponder or preordain)

I think this deck is decent, I would play mana leak instead of negate.
the thing about swords vs wrath is exactly what you mention; it stalls them (like counters, but better) until you can wrath and for that reason I (personally) would never play less than four, especially against creature heavy metagames.
I would add fetchlands, especially because you are playing brainstorm. Tinker also seems good for this deck
I would play 4 swords and keep the wraths in against elves ( no matter the type)
why are you playing pyromancer ascension?
nice
I would cut the jace's erasures for more lands, since the deck isnt mill
finishers like gravetitan, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, sun titan, wurmcoil engine and Consecrated Sphinx.
IMO it looks pretty good. I would play 4 preordains and 0 ponders since you cant shuffle your deck, so preordain > ponder.
why only one wasteland?
dissipate seems to be strictly better than cancel in this deck. I would also play 3-4 forbidden alchemy and 4 think twices and cut the ponders. I like all your other card choices.
I would play some wb fetches and shocklands. I think the rest of the deck is pretty good
why only one piledriver?
Vedalken Anatomist, Chancellor of the Annex, Suture Priest and Stonehorn Dignitary. These creatures seems bad for a control deck because their sorcery speed means you will be tapping out to cast them. They are also not very good in the late game. Chancellor of the Annex is a very expensive creature (manavise) but you are only playing 19 lands which seems bad to do in a control deck
why not just play one Darksteel colossus since you are going to tinker the robot out? I would also recommend sphinx of the steel wind as a tinker target
I think this deck looks good for a casual muc deck. IMHO the deck needs more draw spells (at instant speed). I would max out on wall of frost, its a great blocker.
why are you playing glint hawk idol in a control deck? This deck also needs some card-draw. I like the o-rings and the BSZ. I would play dissipate over stoic rebuttal. Just my 0.02 €
I would cut the random creatures and Feeling of Dread and play more counterspells, forbidden alchemy's and think twice's. I would also play more lands, since 19 is too few
Is it combo elves or aggro elves you expect to fight against?
