Very rough draft of what maybe will be the "end hostilities deck" this format.... Suggestions needed. Also I don't play control at all so help is much appreciated.

I'd say -1 Elspeth -1 Kiora +2 {Dig through time}

I would remove the caryatid. Mana ramp is nice and can be used to chump block. But late game, drawing into one means you waste a draw when you are looking for answers.

You want/need  {Negate} to protect your walkers from the common  heros downfall. And utter end.

Mainboard dissolve or dissipate, a hard counter, is better than a conditional one

redwolv

Or both. I like negate as it cost one less mana and is  good for protecting walkers, but muggy is right. You will want hard counters too.

{Atherspout} is another good wipe

I think that you could do 3 couser, 2  {Sagu Mauler} As your creatures. The cousers help ramp and the mauler is a good backup finisher if your facing a downfall deck that kills all of your elspeth. Also I think that 3  {Dig Through Time} Would fit nicely in this deck. If your looking to play counter spells Id suggest 2-3 dissolve depending on how much blue you play, 1-2  {Disdainful Stroke} Because it hits a lot of spells in the format, and 2 negate because no decks in the format are creature only.

How did i forget about the mauler. I really like these suggestions.

I'll edit this later when I have time, thanks for the help!

You're at 52 cards? Assuming that you only have this many and I'm not interpreting anything wrong, I'd add 4 dissolve and 4 dissipate.

LinkCelestrial

{Meandering Townshell} + {End Hostilities}?

Seems like a lot of 3 mana counters. Also I haven't had time to update this :(
