I only lost 2 games - Game 1 agaisnt BW taxes and G1 against KCI. Disrupting shoal was a house in the KCI match - you can tap out for Jace if you have another jace, a cryptic or an illumination in hand and its just GG.
BW Taxes felt close, I think I got lucky because both Growth and Shoal felt absolutely awful in that matchup.
Shift felt close as well, but I was able to keep him off 6 mana long enough with a combination of conditional countermagic on ramp spells and a clutch shoal on a lightning bolt the turn I tapped out for Jace.
GB Rock felt about even, nothing remarkable there and I absolutely smashed Jeskai just like the other time I played against it before updating the mana.
really like your list but you're main win cons are just jace and teferi locks? just curious. did you miss having no colonnades?
i was thinking nissa vital force as another option for the main. maybe a 2/2/1 split on planeswalkers. gives you a 5/5 beater to go with your colonnnades. returns a jace or teferi or snapcaster or colonnade to your hand. even the ultimate the next turn is good at drawing you cards, especially with a teferi emblem out. it's something to think about at least.
i do like gideon too but i feel if you're running green, then you should consider green walkers.
i was also thinking of having either tireless trackers or tarmogoyfs in the side. trackers seem decent.
EDIT: Also - knight of autumn. does a lot that we want: life, body for beater, artifact/enchantment hate. can be bounced back to do it again with CC
well i'm keeping this tab open. i started with a UW shell and put growth spiral in and adjusted the mana base after seeing someone post about it on the UW control facebook page. i'm really liking growth spiral in this list. and i could see lumbering falls possibly as a 1-of in the deck. maybe 3/1 split with colonnade.
i definitely want to try out wilderness reclamation
