Manabase: Straight forward. Not much to say.
{Monastery Mentor}: Alongside {Young Pyromancer} this card does work in my Modern version of this deck. We'll see how he is here.
{Dragonlord Ojutai}: Arguably the best finisher in standard.
{End Hostilities}: What is control without a wrath?
{Lightning Strike}: Fairly viable removal or straight to the face damage.
{Wild Slash}: I really like this card right now.
{Ojutai's Command}: Sometimes gaining four and drawing a card is really good. It'd be better if I had something to keep the first option live.
{Cunning Strike}: I'm looking at this as a bad {Electrolize}. We'll see how it goes.
{Negate}: Needs no introduction.
{Banishing Light}: My only catch all once it hits the board.
{Nullify}: Really liking this card.
{Myth Realized}: Another win-con. We'll see how it performs.
{Dissolve}: The catch all.
{Elspeth, Sun's Champion}: There is no substitute in standard for the impact this card can have on a game. Except Ugin.
{Anger of the Gods}: {Deathmist Raptor}s, {Bloodsoaked Champion}s, aggro decks, all fall.
{Dig Through Time}: My only strict card advantage spell. Might need to work on that.
Sideboard
{Disdainful Stroke}: Exceptionally good against most G/Rx decks right now.
{Tormod's Crypt}: I think it's viable right now.
{Anger of the Gods}: All variations of aggro.
{Wild Slash}: Aggro and popping mana dorks.
{End Hostilities}: in vs midrangey decks.
{Narset Transcendent}: An alternate win-con vs control.
{Negate}: In vs control.
{Nullify}: in vs heroic and some creature heavy decks.
{Keranos, God of Storms}: In vs Midrange and control.
I'm really liking the looks of this deck so far. I need to make some room for {Roast} in the SB. Considering dropping a couple {Disdainful Strokes} and maybe my fourth {Negate}.
Needs more ojutai, less cunning strike

The one time I cast it {Cunning Strike} was good. You're probably right though. ATM card advantage is the difficult part.
{Mindswipe}?

{Mindswipe}?
I love that card. I really do. But it's not good in this shell. Early game I'll be hard pressed to cast it effectively. Late game I have less mana than anybody else. Maybe I'll try one but honestly {Cancel} is more effective 9/10 times.

Maybe find room for {soul fire grandmaster}? Might make {mind swipe} more appealing and those {roast}s that'll eventually go in will make some waves. I run a similar deck but more aggro, honestly I like your build more, but I've won more than half my games with the one copy of {deflecting palm}. Usually surprises opponents. More advantage with grandmaster but at that point, I feel like it'd be more burn than control.
I forgot about {Deflecting Palm}. Totally worth a slot or two. {Soulfire Grand Master} is on my radar. Need to clear some slots...

I'm not sure about it competitively speaking but definitely fun for some tabletop play. I was using {roast} but it ended up in the sideboard as my group jumped on the dragon train.

{Deflecting Palm} is great vs burn/aggro and fairly good vs midrange.
