UW Control for States

So this is what I am running at State this weekend so far, what does everyone think?

3 Consecrated Sphinx
4 Solemn Simulacrum

2 Gideon Jura
2 Elspeth Tirel
1 Karn Liberated

3 Dismember
3 Timely Reinforcements
3 Oblivion Ring
4 Mana Leak
3 Day of Judgment
2 Dissipate
3 Tezzeret's Gambit
1 Disperse
6 Plains
4 Ghost Quarter
8 Island
4 Glacial Fortress
4 Seachrome Coast

SB: 3 Nevermore
SB: 1 Timely Reinforcements
SB: 2 Phyrexian Metamorph
SB: 3 Mental Misstep
SB: 3 Spellskite
SB: 1 Day of Judgment
SB: 1 Elspeth Tirel
SB: 1 Oblivion Ring

Its a pretty solid control deck, the main win cons being the Sphinx's and Gideon.  The Simulacrums will make sure I get that crucial 5th land drop for both Tirel and Jura, and double as good chumpers to the huge aggro creatures.  Gideon and Tirel work well together because you can turn ol' Gids indestructible and then board wipe. 

I am still developing the specific board plan, but I want to be abel to Fight off UW Aggro, Solar flare, RDW, and Hawkward.
