No detention spheres? Y not?
Don't need detention spheres with board wipes I don't expect anything to last long once I board wipe and drop keranos or aetherling it should be over . Also assemble the legion blows black devotion out of the water.
The legions contradict board wipes also tho... Idk maybe ur right...
Well it's most likely that I'd board wipe then play assemble the legion and even if I do board wipe I still get counters on it and soldiers just keep coming :) thanks for commenting too by the way I'm taking this to gameday on Saturday !
My only other question is how good our the jaces ingenuity I feel like they r a little much as far as card draw with the sphinx's revs... I'd much rather have say a few counterflux
I really like the aether spouts in the sideboard, you might even want to cut decide or something else for another copy.
Assemble the legion is terrible with planar cleansing drop the assemble for another aetherling
As someone who runs Keranos: run 2x

Your deck is more counter-burn, I ended up actually taking a {Keranos, God of Storms} out of my deck, down to one. Keranos is just too slow, and is really a win-more card. If you are behind and taking in a lot of damage, you'd rather have a {Warleader's Helix} or a {Devouring Light}. That said, I keep the other Keranos in the sideboard for the mirror match.
On to your mana base: I play my deck a lot like yours, 95% UW control, splashing red for a few cards and couple things in the sideboard. Here is what my mana base looks like:
4x {Hallowed Fountain}
4x {Temple of Enlightenment}
4x {Temple of Epiphany}
4x {Temple of Triumph}
2x {Shivan Reef} (debating going up to all 4)
5x Island
3x Plains
I am really happy with the base, as it gives me access to 1UU on turn 3 for counterspells, I can usually have two untapped lands on turn 2 for {Negate} if I need it, and turn 4 {Supreme Verdict} is rarely a problem.
Was there a problem with my land base? I'm just going off what I have and what I felt like would work for the deck (can't get my hands on enlightenment and other hallowed fountains in time) so far I haven't felt a problem with it but I always appreciate suggestions I do have Warleader's helix and felt a bit like I should run some but cutting from the list is difficult now I really like the way it looks (wish I had Elspeth and archangel but in confident I can win without them) I really think assemble the legion is gonna be a solid card for me even after board wipes and I'll consider a second keranos in sideboard thanks for the input!
Thanks for the comments and suggestions glad you like my legion bomb :)
I will try the lands you suggested and take out the planar cleansing for banishing light I don't have a lot of permanents in this deck but I'll give it a try
