Thoughts?

I am in between {Raise the Alarm} and {Nyx-Fleece Ram}. I am currently playing Raise because 1) instant and 2) has a power. It can kill things and I have used it to keep planeswalkers out of Ulti range for a few turns. In the end, the Ram's lifegain might be more necessary, but I will test.

{Treasure Cruise}? Everyone is geeking about this in modern and legacy. I think it's okay as a two of, I usually cast it for 4-5 on turns 4-5, and its usually one mana by turn 7-8.

{Pearl Lake Ancient}? Its there as a win con. Also allows me to return scrylands for extra value. Not sure if it will stick around, I'm thinking {Mindswipe}, {Keranos, God of Storms} and {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} could be enough.

{Dig Through Time}? I'm testing it, I like it, but I don't know if I want more than 1 or 2.

I like this build. I really want a jeskai control deck that works. Lol. This looks solid but im skeptical of the delve cards. In a jeskai color scheme, I would suggest some fetch lands for some ammo for the delve. If anything, that'll give you more reason to slip the {nxy fleece ram} in there.

Good points. Ill have to try out the configuration if I have trouble with the delve cards, honestly havent test much.
