Suggestions?
This is very good for control, but you have no win con. You have snaps and resto angels but nothing to use it on really other than revelation and counters. Resto should have some good creatures to bring out if you use her at all. I say either splash green for thrags or drop the resto. All of this is just imo but i dont see how you can win.
3 supreme verdicts
3 sphinx's revelation
4 snapcaster
4 resto angel
Nice, someone gave me a neg karma for pointing out that this deck has no way to win... Thanks ever so much random douchebag...
Maybe mainboard som mill. Like {Jace, the Memory Adept} for the wincon.

Indeed, or {Jace, Architect of Thought} for the ult. Or maybe even {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} with {Tamiyo, the Moon Sage} and jace mainboard, effectively turning this into a working esper superfriends.
Mill is in the lands. Drownyard and the debt to the deathless is another.
Win con I mean
Maybe MB an {aetherling} as a win-con, drop a resto? Debt to the deathless isnt exactly the best win con, as drownyard is slow and unreliable on its own
Not nessecarally I like the testosterone mainboard because they play out better against aggro which is running rampant these days.
Restoration angel not testosterone .loving. auto correct.
I like it. Though you may want to board in some copies of {Council of the Absolute} against other control. Naming {Sphinx's Revelation} is boss.
I'll look into it and try playtesting that in my sideboard.
I would drop {Augur of Bolas} to 1-2. You're draw power makes 4rather unnecessary. And this is furthered by {Restoration Angel} flicker effect. I only run one augur in my bant control and have had no issues. This being said, look at throwing in 1-2 {Terminus} for miracle draw. 2-3 {Geist of Saint Traft} for midrange and swing potential. Lastly, for recycling and maintaining deck advantage, 1 {Elixir of Immortality}.
I love running 1 {Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts} as top to your mana curve cause she is just nutty and stops your opponent dead in there track. They better hope they have enough burn or kill spells to get past her
{Far // Away} is pretty nasty, 4 may be too many with {Snapcaster Mage} in play. I think {Renounce the Guilds} does a lot of work too. A symmetrical permanent destroy sounds pretty good to me. Hits Geist, Bolas, and nearly anything that could give you a hard time. Not to mention that Esper doesn't play too many multi-colored permanents - so you dodge a bullet there. I haven't been able to play test because MTGO has a 3 week post-launch policy.
