I would -2 {martial law} and add 2 {gilded lotus}. The lotus gives you more mana for the late game where you have
More options for everything

I took your advice, but I only added one {gilded lotus}. I like {marshal law} as a o-ring that can change targets. I added {sphinx's revelation} for life gain and draw.

I definitely like the addition of {sphinx's revelation}. In control, life gain and draw power are a big big help, and can very easily be the turn of the game. And the {gilded lotus} is good even as a one of. It can't ever really hurt you. The only time it wouldn't be all that great is late game when your top decking, but I don't see this deck top decking much at all.

It's when you have no cards in your hand. And the only card you get is one you draw.
