Last updates before FNM —Oct. 22, 2014
Took some advice from the constructive comments i have gotten and switched some things around. No longer using Empty the Pits and will instead utilize delve only for drawing. cut the 2 Jace's Ingenuity for one more of each Taigam's Scheming and Dig Through Time. I decided i still wanted to keep Nyx-Fleece Ram in the 60 because it still will help me survive until i get one of my win cons to win the game. Thanks for the help everyone that commented, now i will hope like hell the main control shard stands a chance in a wedge set!

I like the Pearl Lake Ancient idea, because its one that i used when i tried this deck the first time. If i do decide to change it before FNM then i would probably also drop the Jace's Ingenuity for either two more Dig Through Time , two Treasure Cruise , or one of each since i wont need cards to delve if Empty the Pits is gone and i only use delve to draw. Seems like an idea?

Congrats on trying to make an off shard deck! Hopefully we will both figure them out. I just have a few suggestions to your list.
I am down on Empty the Pits as well. I think that spot would be better utilized on a 3rd Despise .
I would think about possibly moving the Nyx-Fleece Ram s to the board in favor of another End Hostilities , Land, or Bile Blight . Early testing of a deck like this showed that your Angel was the only creature needed, especially since you're running so many planes walkers...although I understand wanting to run more creatures.
Overall the deck looks killer. Good luck on putting the finishing touches on it.

Thanks much matto89! I'll be working on it today and tonight and will have an updated list, so check back and tell me what you think then.

I think your list could use Last Breath somewhere. +1 for trying to make Esper control work in standard. I'm trying too, here's my list: The Rogue Shard of Tarkir

I would consider running dig through time as your draw and run Pearl Lake Ancient instead of empty the pits as a win-con
