Deck discussion for blue black control

I understand how the combo with shape anew works, but I am a bit concerned with your lack of any other artifact besides the chalice. If you draw blightsteel too early he will be sitting in your hand for a while and won't be able to use shape anew, even if you draw 1 or 2 shape anew. Or it could be a while before you get the chalice in your hand to use shape anew. the good side to shape blightsteel is his return to the library from the grave yard. It presents a bit of a riddle. Trinket mage is one answer for it. Just feels like a risk to me, but I am still new at the game. Have you happen to have seen this deck used in a tournament by chance?

If you can get your hands on some fetch lands like misty rainforest and verdant catacombs they can help thin out your deck a little. I personally would drop Jwar Isle Refuge because a) it comes in tapped and b) it doesn't let you look at cards like halimar depths. When making my blue black control they warned me of too many lands that come in tapped or have a great risk of being tapped, so i want to pass that bit of info along.

Another bit of advice I got was to sideboard Black Sun's Zenith and get consume the meek and consuming vapors in the main deck.

If you would like check out my U/B control and let me know what you think.
