URw Tempo/Control

[Qweerios]

I always had a softspot for white and red decks and cards like Lightning Angel and Lightning Helix. With the new commander set coming out, Ruhan of the Fomori looks like a very efficient beater for a removal heavy/tempo driven deck. Ruhan can be found in this spoiler: http://mtgsalvation.com/commander-spoiler.html

Using a blue core paired with red aggressivity and removal is what I aim for. Here is a roster of potential blue cards for a solid core:

Brainstorm
Ponder
Stifle
Mental Misstep
Daze
Spell Snare
Spell Pierce
Force of Will
Trinket Mage
Vendilion Clique
Jace, the Mind Sculptor


Red would offer cheap removal and burn reach:


Lightning Bolt
Chain Lightning
Grim Lavamancer
Fire//Ice


And of course, by splashing white, we have access to the following:


Swords to Plowshares
Path to Exile
Lightning Helix
Figure of Destiny
Stoneforge Mystic
Lightning Angel
Ruhan of the Fomori
Ajani Vengeant


Using a Trinket Mage package also opens up some great artifact options such as:


Engineered Explosives
Pithing Needle
Basilisk Collar


Here is what I have in mind:


Creatures (8)
2 Grim Lavamancer
2 Figure of Destiny
2 Vendilion Clique
2 Ruhan of the Fomori

Spells (27)
4 Stifle
4 Brainstorm
4 Mental Misstep
2 Spell Snare
3 Daze
3 Force of Will
4 Lightning Bolt
3 Lightning Helix

Planeswalkers (2)
2 Ajani Vengeant

Lands (23)
4 Wasteland
4 Volcanic Island
3 Tundra
1 Island
4 Scalding Tarn
4 Flooded Strand
3 Misty Rainforest


Any suggestions of cards I might have missed or tweaks?

I have tested the following list on MWS with about 20 different opponents. I have lost only 2 matches and beat many t1 and t2 Legacy decks in 2/3 matches. I know MWS is not very conclusive of a deck's performance, but I believe this deck has great potential.


Creatures (10)
3 Grim Lavamancer
3 Figure of Destiny
2 Vendilion Clique
2 Lightning Angel

Spells (28)
4 Stifle
4 Brainstorm
4 Mental Misstep
4 Daze
4 Force of Will
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Lightning Helix

Lands (22)
4 Wasteland
4 Volcanic Island
2 Tundra
4 Scalding Tarn
4 Flooded Strand
3 Misty Rainforest
1 Island

Sideboard (15)
3 Spell Pierce
3 Shattering Spree
1 Red Elemental Blast
1 Pyroblast
2 Disenchant
2 Relic of Progenitus
3 Tormod's Crypt


I have yet to play against a Combo deck or a good Reanimator or Dredge deck. Every Aggro and Aggro/Control matchups have been very successful thus far. Looking forward to your suggestions.
