Generally speaking I think {{preordain}} is better than {{ponder}} in a control deck. The former can help get rid of cards you know you won't need while still fixing your draws.
I really like {Ponder} for the shuffle ability. With {Preordain} I can scry away dead draws then still draw a dead card. Sure it can happen with the former as well. I think it comes down to personal preference. Both are great but IMO I'd rather have {Ponder}

You have a ton of fetch lands to shuffle your deck with... Also, noting that, why isn't that slot just simply {Brainstorm}?

Sorry. I forgot for a minute Brainstorm is a instant.
No merica angel?
Try adding 2 {True-Name Nemesis} to your deck in the 3 drop spot. So good!!
