The only reason i will not get spinxs rev, spear, mizz mortars, and reckoners is because i want a different feel to a control deck. Most of those things are used in all control decks. I want something different but may put azorius charms and snappys in it. Thank you :)

Boros elite is more of an aggro card, it's going to be hard to get battalion with 12
Creatures, I would replace them with  {Snapcaster Mage}

I would look into counter flux instead of fall of the gavel and dissipate over cancel.

{Boros Reckoner} + {Blasphemous Act} is pretty mean control. If you're not using {Sphinx's Revelation} to stabilize and draw some gas, then I suggest the 2 {Blasphemous Act} and the Reckoners. Something to get into the game with.

Main board the restoration angels and take out skylark roc, and justicir. If you really want to bounce stuff look at unsummon. Also izzet charm is so good in USA.

Also play 4 azorius charm. It's one of the best cards for control in the format right now.

Ahhh... {azorius charm} has been my downfall many a time. It's superior, my opponent during an I.Q. kept charming my {Stromkirk noble} back to the top of my deck then snap casting it, the proceeded to counter the rest of the spells in my hand :/ not fun lol
