This is what I am running now, to fairly good success. This deck is pretty "meh" against blue based control in general, so don't play it in a such a meta. Against Aggro, on the other hand, this deck is very good.

I am wondering if Privileged Position  might be useful to stop people from dismantling our board.

If you can get it through control, then yes. I'd play Defense Grid  over Quagnoth in the sideboard, because then you can get some breathing room to lay down your board, including (perhaps) a Privileged Position as a layer of defense. After all, it's less important to win through beats in your deck than it is to win by decking, and that'll help.

Why no Scrying Sheets  ? It can be pretty useful late-game, which is what this deck aims for.

It thins your deck, which is nice yes, but you need to make sure you don't accidentally kill yourself with your own card drawing engine. Scrying Sheets makes that risk a serious reality.
Edit: Blue based control isn't what I am worried about that I would want Privileged Position. It's Black based/White based and Black/White or B/W/x control that cause problems. When someone is drawing 4-5 cards a turn they will be dead in 7 turns. That is easy to hold them off for. When they are drawing 2-3 cards you have to hold them off for at least 14-15 turns while you aren't drawing into massive piles of fog effects.
I am thinking of an SB of:
4 Position
4 Defense Grid
4 CoP: Red
3 Tormod's Crypt
That covers Narcolepsy, Dragon Storm, B/W/x Control, Blue Based Control, Dredge, Burn, and a few others, although I am wondering if the Crypts should be Disenchants.

4 Position is a bit much, don't you think?

It costs more AND your opponent get's to have one as well. I'd have to say no to that one. And Ivory Mask is still around after may 20th so I don't know why you'd tamper with it.
Oh and Reverse Damage  can't stop a hellbent Demonfire...
edit: How do you stop Stuffy Doll  ?
I'm sure someone would have replied to this already but...
Imperial Mask.
Your opponent is not a teammate.

I saw this and thought of Lich and Feldon's Cane.

Yes, somebody already talked about that.
