This is very good for control, but you have no win con. You have snaps and resto angels but nothing to use it on really other than revelation and counters. Resto should have some good creatures to bring out if you use her at all. I say either splash green for thrags or drop the resto. All of this is just imo but i dont see how you can win.

All-Mana Mania

3 supreme verdicts
3 sphinx's revelation
4 snapcaster
4 resto angel

Nice, someone gave me a neg karma for pointing out that this deck has no way to win... Thanks ever so much random douchebag...

Maybe mainboard som mill.  Like {Jace, the Memory Adept} for the wincon.

Indeed, or  {Jace, Architect of Thought} for the ult. Or maybe even  {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} with  {Tamiyo, the Moon Sage} and jace mainboard, effectively turning this into a working esper superfriends.

Mill is in the lands. Drownyard and the debt to the deathless is another.

Maybe MB an {aetherling} as a win-con, drop a resto? Debt to the deathless isnt exactly the best win con, as drownyard is slow and unreliable on its own

Not nessecarally I like the testosterone mainboard because they play out better against aggro which is running rampant these days.

Byerley121

Restoration angel not testosterone .loving. auto correct.

I like it. Though you may want to board in some copies of  {Council of the Absolute} against other control. Naming  {Sphinx's Revelation} is boss.

Byerley121

I'll look into it and try playtesting that in my sideboard.

I would drop  {Augur of Bolas} to 1-2. You're draw power makes 4rather unnecessary. And this is furthered by  {Restoration Angel} flicker effect. I only run one augur in my bant control and have had no issues. This being said, look at throwing in 1-2  {Terminus} for miracle draw. 2-3  {Geist of Saint Traft} for midrange and swing potential. Lastly, for recycling and maintaining deck advantage, 1  {Elixir of Immortality}.
