Love the deck idea, a few things I noticed.

Most decks I’ve seen that play 3 or more colors only run 1-2 “triome” lands. They are great, but having 4 of Xander's Lounge could slow you down late game when you don’t wanna draw a tapped land.

Heartless Act is great removal but having turn one Fatal Push is key against the low to the ground decks.

I have been trying to make Search for Azcanta  Flip work since I started playing pioneer and the consensus I’ve reached is the same. It feels too slow.

Strategic Planning is a good card for graveyard strategies so maybe look at Impulse to replace it if you are looking for card selection. It digs one card deeper and it can be done at instant speed.

I’ve seen Memory Deluge used in most UW control decks and it has worked out great for them when it comes to card selection.

Lastly, Collective Brutality may seem rough but its flexibility is what makes it a great sideboard card. Maybe reducing the number of them and placing it in the sideboard will help show their potential.

Hope this helps out! Love the deck idea and hope to see other control decks get some traction.
