Working on putting together a white/blue control style deck. Lands Plains  x5 Island  x5 Glacial Fortress  x4 Moorland Haunt  x4 Seachrome Coast  x4 Creatures Blade Splicer  x3 Mirran Crusader  x4 Snapcaster Mage  x4 Spellskite  x3 Spells Day of Judgment  x3 Dismember  x3 Gitaxian Probe  x3 Mana Leak  x4 Oblivion Ring  x3 Vapor Snag  x3 Artifacts: Sword of Feast and Famine  x3 Planeswalkers Gideon Jura  x2 Thoughts? I will probably tryout Hero of Bladehold  in place of Blade Splicer I can just trade for one splicer and 2 more will be cheap to buy as oppose to the bladehold's which are running a bit more than Blade Splicers. Also might sideboard DoJ and put in Disperse  in place of them. Also thoughts on Gideon Jura in this deck? In my other deck which is a mono white human deck he win games, and I feel that he will do the same in this deck. Might try out running 2 Sun Titan  's to bring back SoFnF if they get destroyed. I have money so its not a super budget deck but I will have to buy 3 SoFnF, the Spellskites and 2 Snapcasters, so I will be putting descent amount of money in it and i feel all of those will be more beneficial than getting Hero of the Bladehold's. Criticism and comments are welcome!

Geist of Saint Traft  seems to be a good addition? Just my two cents.

I just love when people say ''you are not right'' and they dont even try to give an advice.
Im playing 26 land in my UB control, might try something like that for your deck too.
As said the Geist is a nice addition btw  I would remove blade splicer for that one

I'm sorry, I thought it was obvious that he should add some land. I should more clear and say that I would add geist and remove blade splicer without giving a reason :o
Blade splicer is probably better with swords, Moorland haunt is necessary if your running creatures in a control deck with Day of Jay.

I think the deck lack the card draw staple for control decks like Ponder/Forbidden Alchemy/Think Twice with the above you could trim down DOJ to 2, Sword to 2, Spellskite to 2, Dismember to 1 an island and a ponder on first draw always save me the mulligan... i think moorland haunt should be limited to 2-3 Since you already have 4 seachrome coast, Glacial fortress could be limited to 2 below is my current semi-cheap control deck... lol i could not afford no sword T_T proxy with Runechanter www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=25...

This is literally the most do-nothing play you can do in the format. The fact you're running Ponder is bad enough, but to play it at the only conceivable time that you can get basically 0 benefit of it is even worse.
Since you already have 4 seachrome coast, Glacial fortress could be limited to 2
You should almost always run the maximum number of dual lands available.
It's really not even about giving niche cards to black.
It should be about giving black cards to Niche.
