Yeah ugin maybe ; also i think meekstone shld see play instead of bridge the tempo matchup is hard and meekstone is really good there
Meekstone is bad with a Chalice opener and it doesn't help against Sneak'n'Show.
Play the Bridge
Pretty much this. There might be reason to play Forcefield in place of bridge as it's better vs Infect, which can be a problematic matchup unless you get an early Chalice/Ballista. Also Forcefield lets you beat face, whereas Bridge doesn't. The big downside of Forcefield is not being good vs Annihilator creatures, namely Emrakul.
I run 3 Bridge side as of now.
I don't know if it is bigdrazi or agro drazi, but I am testing that and I am linking it, especially the summoning traps are awesome against blue decks.
EDIT : in fact this deck is worse againt control miracle/grixis but better against tempo, not sure thats good

This past weekend I was playing in the Starcitygames Invitational that I qualified for by top-4ing an SCG Legacy Classic with this deck. Spoiler Alert: I'm not good at anything but playing Eldrazi Post in Legacy and Mono Green Tron in Modern. I didn't win a single match of Standard with my Jeskai Control deck, but went 3-1 in Modern on Day 1 before going 5-3 in the Modern Cube Qualifier tournament (both days playing Mono Green Tron) on Day 2 after I was disqualified from Day 2 of the Invitational.
Sigh.
So today I took a break from the inferior Magic formats after testing them exclusively for the past few weeks, and decided to enter the Legacy Challenge on MODO today. I went 5-2 in the swiss, losing to Griselpuff on Golgari Depths (rough matchup) and Gul_Dukat on U/R Delver. I faced Gul_Dukat again in the Top-8 and beat him after a pretty intense match where I needed Glimmerposts to survive in both G2 and G3. Then I lost in the Top-4 to Iziter on Grixis Pyromancer in a tough matchup.
So, yet again another Top-4 but that unfortunately seems to be the ceiling for me with this deck. Sigh.
