BIG Update! —April 13, 2015
Over the next few days, I'm going to try to find time, balancing school and all, to make my deck less of a walkers deck and more of a dragon control deck, now that the Pro Tour is over

Ya, I've been looking around at other decks, and I see it is very highly played in Control. So probably going to play it.

@TheHroth I messed up the deck and I need help fixing it.

Firstly, Ojutai's Command is good, but when I was testing with it, I wasn't pleased. I like that it makes for a hilarious counterspell against Siege Rhino, but often just isn't worth the mana cost. If you've been liking it, by all means keep it. This particular card is just personal preference.
To fix your mana, I'd take out the gain lands, and add the last set of scry lands (to have all 12), and a Radiant Fountain. I'm not entirely sure you have enough demand for 
mana to make the plains worth it, so I'd replace them with more islands/swamps.
The deck looks good! I like it.

I'd say -1 Narset, Transcendant and +1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion. Elspeth is the better wincon and I don't feel like you need more than one narset

@rochdalekilla9 I'm only using one Elspeth, Sun's Champion in the deck because she is about to rotate out of standard and Narset Transcendent is a utility walker, she ins't really a wincon. I have enough wincons in the deck.

i recommend Banishing Light over Ultimate Price cause it cant take out the dragon lords, whereas Banishing Light can

@exalted_k1d I'm not playing Banishing Light cause my Ugin will destroy it as soon as I play him, since I only run Ugin for the board wipes.

SIDEBOARD
Maybe consider Foul-Tongue Invocation for heroic and abzan aggro, Arashin Cleric or Nyx-Fleece Ram for red decks, Erase for G/W devotion (hits courser and mastery), Dragonlord Silumgar against ramp or midrange decks, Radiant Purge for abzan aggro also...
My quick observation seems to come to the conclusion that you're extremely prepared for the control matchup, maybe a bit too much.
Sideboards are meta dependent... Is there any build that dominates your meta? Or maybe there's always two persons playing the same deck over and over that you have a lot of chances to face everytime you go to FNM's?
Here's my build, feel free to get inspired! Card choices are explained in the desscription! Esper Dragons
Good luck and lets continue perfecting Soorani's list!

You need at least one Pearl Lake Ancient on the sideboard.
