Here's the deck I've been trying to perfect.
I still need some help and suggestions.

Lands: (22)
4 arcane sanctum
3 seaside citadel
5 islands
7 plains
3 swamp

Creatures: (20)
3 Sharuum the Hegemon
4 Sphinx of the Steel Wind
1 Sphinx Summoner
1 Enigma Sphinx
4 Master Transmuter
2 Ethersworn Canonist
4 Wall of Denial

Other Spells: (18)
3 celestial purge
4 path to exile
2 fieldmist borderpost
2 mistvein borderpost
2 scourglass
4 esper charm
1 Martial Coup

-This thing packs a lot of mana and provides a pretty steady ability to cast the things i need.
-I've tried to fit etherium sculptors but i don't know if I need them or where to fit them in.
-I also thought about tidehollow scullers, are they good and should they replace wall of denial or not.
-What should I take out of the deck and replace it with?

Thanks

well... I've seen i and I don't think I could work. I've seen one deck which involves Ethersworn Shield Mage, Glaze Fiend and Thoptor Foundry. Which pretty much work in sync. And put out the borderposts.

Sculler is an excellent idea. Could also try duress. This deck depends too much on master transmuter, though.

Many sphinx control decks go for the Double Sharuum + Glassdust Hulk combo. You could consider that.

Just my opinion, but I think speed decks will beat you to death before you even come close to setting anything up.

I think it is a little too high on the mana curve, so I took out some stuff, i don't like the glassdust combo cuz it is very easy to break apart.
