Attempting Gates Control

-- MAINBOARD --

->CREATURES<-

• Archway Angel x2 to keep gaining life & threat in the air.
• Fae of Wishes x4 to tutor whatever is needed from sideboard.
• Golos, Tireless Pilgrim x2 to be able to cast top 3 without paying. And why not with access to Chromatic Lantern and the 1 of Golgari Guildgate to be able to active his ability.
• Gatebreaker Ram ×3 is great with Gates. Strong creature early and late game, has trample which is a plus. Also doesnt die to Gates Ablaze .

->SPELLS<-

• Guild Summit x3 is a must of card with gates and the card draw can get insane.
• Electrodominance x1 for burn and to cast other threats at no extra cost.
• Once and Future x2 to help bring back whatever is needed from graveyard. And Adamant shouldn't be to hard to trigger.
• Negate x4 to insure our threats stick or to prevent opponents.
• Growth Spiral x4 for extra draw and potential extra land per turn.
• Circuitous Route x4 is another must of card for gates, also helps us thin our deck.
• Gates Ablaze x3 is another must of card with Gates and great board wipe.

• Expansion / Explosion x1 to copy any of our spells or opponents. Also copies Fae of Wishes adventure. And can be used to bounce our hand back or to end a game.

• Field of the Dead x1 because why not with so many different lands and to provide potential chump blockers.

-- SIDEBOARD --

Here is where Fae of Wishes becomes really good.

• Chromatic Lantern x1 to help make sure we can cast whatever is needed.
• Expansion / Explosion x2 Expansion to copy spells or Explosion to help end a game or reset my hand. (Plenty of great spells to copy from mainboard to sideboard to even opponents spells.
• Finale of Glory x2 to create chump blockers or a ton of 4/4 Angels in the air.
• Gates Ablaze x1 for extra board wipe when needed.
• Mass Manipulation x2 to help bring us back late game when opponents either tapped out or no cards in hand to insure sucess.
• Ravnica at War x1 to help clear out the Multi-Colored format.
• Return to Nature x2 to get rid of artifacts, enchantments or to stop graveyard tricks.
• The Magic Mirror x1 to help keep my hand full and wont be hard to cast for cheaper due to all the instants and sorceries.
• Folio of Fancies x1 to help keep cards in hand and to potentionally mill our opponent.
• Guild Summit x1 for if opponent rids us of ours or if it's just needed at the time.
• Electrodominance x1 again for extra burn and extra threats.

Any advice or suggestions are very much appreciated, thank you in advance!
