Like I said with the Grixis deck on here as well, {Gainsay} will dominate against any other American, Esper, or Grixis control finishers, such as other {Ætherling} and {Sphinx's Revelation}s

I think you might have too many win conditions. Obzedat, Baron, Aetherling and Jace. I'd remove at least one for more control.

Elsbeth is better all around than ashiok. Try considering ashiok and aetherling as sideboard for control mirror.

-1  {Planar Cleansing}
-1  {Negate}
+2  {Detention Sphere}

I could be wrong, but I feel like you have planar in their as an answer to opposing planeswalkers? D sphere is just a better answer, because you don't want to be in that awkward moment when you play elspeth then they play a planeswalkers you don't want, then have to kill both? Also I think 3  {Ætherling}s is a bit much IMO.

I completely agree with this.  D Sphere answers so much, it is a great card.

I would add  {Hero's Downfall} in here main board  {Detention Sphere} and  {Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver} beside of  {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} because you play 4  {Azorius Charm} to top deck if needed and then you can exile with ashiok aetherling and Obzedat are tough enough to kill
