permission
4 counterspell
4 force of will
4 manaleak or absorb

creatures
3 meddling mage
2 morphling
1 eternal dragon


creature control
2 ghostly prison
4 wrath of god

anti-storm
4 stifle

draw card
4 brainstorm or serum visions
4 fact or fiction

artifact
4 chrome mox

lands
1-4 tabernacle at pendrell vale
4 tundra
4 hallowed fountain
4 flooded strand
4-6 islands

12 permission spells.
counterspell - 2nd best to force of will in my opinion
force of will - best permission spell ever
manaleak - good in early game when you really need to counter

creature control
wrath of god - best mass creature removal ever, well, before damnation was printed
ghostly prison - slows down creature based decks

creatures
meddling mage - shuts down lots of decks
morphling - best blue creature ever?
eternal dragon - plainscycling and win condition

stifle - pain in the arse of storm decks

brainstorm or serum vision - I don't really know which is best
fact or fiction - i just like this card

chrome mox - speeds up the deck

tabernacle at pendrell vale - because it's name is really long(i believe it has the longest card name ever in mtg)

tundra and hallowed fountain - Well, you know
flooded strand - thins deck
6 islands


SB:

If you decided to put less than 4 tabernacle, add more in SB
2 ghostly prison
4 pithing needle
4 chill
3-4 tivadar's crusade


Other possible cards:
wastelands - I don't know if i should add 4
arcane laboratory - Maindeck or SB?
chalice of the void - In Sb or maindeck? what to remove for this card?

I think that when you say Savannah, you mean Tundra.

It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's over done. I'm willing to bet there are atleast 5 UW control decks floating around. My only advice to your specific deck at this point is to try

4 Swords to Plowshares
2 Wrath of God

Instead of

2 Ghostly Prison
4 Wrath of God

Also, have you tried meluko as the new control win condition it seems to be working well for alot of decks.

I can't believe i didn't put stp in ^_^. It's just that i constructed the deck for 5 minutes :laugh: .

i dont think meloku will be better than morphling.

Umm you don't think or you have tested it or it didn't work? It doesn't really help when you just post random decks and then not test or consider other cards.

I would find a standard Uw Landstill build, and make the following changes:
-4 Standstill

+3 Stifle
+1 fact or Fiction

Meddling Mage is a good card granted, but it doesn't fit the goals of this deck. But by all means, board them in vs. combo and other control variants. They just don't belong in the main deck. Which bring me to Morphling. Don't. That is all.

Sword to plowshares can remove meloku but morphling is able to avoid it. The only time i see meloku will be usable is if your opponent's deck is mass creature, but by the time you can cast meloku you should be dead or you already have controlled the game. And i don't like returning land cards to my hand, one pyroclasm and all your 1/1 flyers are dead.
