Yes, its probably going to be a terrible format for control. No, that doesn't deter me from posting this tap out control list. 4 Azorius Guildgate
4 Steam Vents
4 Glacial Fortress
3 Island
3 Sulfur Falls
3 Hallowed Fountain
2 Izzet Guildgate
1 Plains 4 Snapcaster Mage
4 Augur of Bolas
3 Thundermaw Hellkite 4 Think Twice
2 Desperate Ravings 4 Pillar of Flame
4 Mizzium Mortars
4 Supreme Verdict
2 Terminus 3 Izzet Charm 1 Devil's Play
Things of note:
Gates in the manabase - You can afford CIPT lands, and I don't want to take 3trillion damage from shocks.

Gates are strictly worse than shocklands. Even if you rarely want to take the shock, it's still nice to have the option, because sometimes you just need to cast that wrath to not die that turn.

It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.

this is truth
anyways, its a little rough around the edges, but all in all, i'm definitely interested in a deck like this. (angelfire, anyone?)

I think you probably will want some O-rings in this. That zombie troll dude gets around red removal and wraths rather easily (Terminus notwithstanding).
Hopefully we get some kind of instant white exile spell. Probably not, but a guy can dream.

It needs more beats. Gotta be able to end the game with more than three guys. Terminus and 4-of Augur seem meh to me atm, almost like overkill. I think you could use these slots to add in more creatures and go a little more midrange like the old Angelfire.

I'm gonna be the one to say it:
restoration angel.
flicker a snapcaster or an augur, or just use it as a 3/4 flier with flash.

I know the list looks rough, but that was just 20 minutes of brainstorming. I'm having difficulties as to which direction I should take the deck.
I can take it pure UW Miracle control, UWr Angelfire or UWb (because of Lingering Souls). My brain is tilting towards lingering souls or the pure version. I can also see the untapped potential of RWb control peeking its head too. I'm pretty braindead at the moment and my head is only spitting out GW lists. I'll revisit this if I feel revitalised about the concept.
