Alright, as many of you know, I SUCK at constructing decks and tend to lean towards pre-constructed archetypes ie, Angry-Hermit, Snake-Tongue, yadda, yadda, yadda,....

I'm going to this tournament on Friday that is having a "Highlander" in the format of 1.5 (a format totally unknown to me :().

But here's my deck list and I am fairly certain that I want to go with this theme:

U/W Control

Force of Will
Absorb
Counterspell
Mana Leak
Dissipate
Dismiss
Forbid
Thwart
Foil
Fervent Denial
Rewind
Memory Lapse
Miscalculation
Arcane Denial
Exclude
Remove Soul

Stroke of Genius
Opportunity
Fact or Fiction
Whispers of the Muse

Recall

Dismantling Blow
Ray of Distortion
Disenchant

Teferi's Moat
Flood
Story Circle

Millstone

Serra Angel
Air Elemental

Persuasion
Dominate

Mageta, The Lion
Rout
Wrath of God
Kitar's Wrath

Thawing Glaciers
Kjeldoran Outpost
Adarkar Wastes
Coastal Tower
Dromar's Cavern
Treva's Ruins
Flood Plain
11 Island
7 Plains

61 Cards

SB://
CoP: Red
CoP: Green
CoP: White
Light of Day
Kismet
Caltrops
Gerrard's Wisdom
Mahomoti Djinn
Irridecsent Angel
Seal of Cleansing
Aura of Silence
Capsize
Wake of Reckoning (I think it's the White Sorcery that has each creature deal damage to itself equal to it's power)
Catastrophe
Gerrard, Capashen

I know it's not original and I am quite sure no one is planning to play control at this thing.

Can anyone help me think of better cards to slip in the deck (not to change the U/W Control feel, though).
