This doesn't seem like a control deck since you're running Geist and Delver. I would rather see this as a UW Midrange deck with Vendilion Clique and Wall of Omens. You should max out on the amount of Celestial Colonnade and Cryptic Command because they are the best cards that Control decks should run. You should also run 25 lands at least because the way Control and Midrange games win is by having more lands than the opponent so that they can answer anything and have threat protection while things are on the stack.

Thanks for the advice. I thought of this as a toss up between mid-range or control, but since I'll be adding cedilla on clique, I'll consider it mid. I'll also be adding the omens. Any advice on what to cut?

I think cutting the {detention sphere} would be fine here considering you're running cryptic command, mana leak, spell pierce, and remand. If something does land, you can always cryptic command it back to the hand and then counter it next turn if need be. There's options there. I just started playing UWR control and absolutely love the red options.

How does she look?
