Hey everybody. I'm trying to make a U/W deck with just cards from Magic 12. I'm pretty new so it probably won't be the best deck, and any criticism from "Great deck." to "This is the worst deck I've ever seen." is fine with me. If it helps, I've only been playing for about three weeks.
My main concern is that I lose to aggro decks pretty easily, and that's the biggest flaw that I've seen so far. My other concerns are that I have a lot of high cost cards, and I feel like I need more removal. I don't have a sideboard yet, and I'm very open to ideas regarding it. I think adding more planeswalkers would be good, but I'm not too sure what to cut. Merfolk Looter also seems like a good option, and I was thinking of cutting the Djinn's for more Frost Titans. I'm also considering Gideon's Lawkeeper, and Stormfront Pegasus as low mana creatures.
What do you think? Thanks for looking.

If you're going only for stuff from m12, I'd try something like this (a control build), at least if you want to be kind of competitive, though with other stuff from other sets you can go a variety of routes:

If you're new and want to play competitively but don't want to waste money on stuff that'll be rotating, Scars block has nice Blue, White, and artifact stuff (Volition Reins Hero of Bladehold Elspeth Tirel Venser, the Sojourner Tumble Magnet Karn Liberated Tumble Magnet Gitaxian Probe and a lot more), along with the awesome removal spell Dismember. Anyway, best of luck
Thanks for the recommendations. I thought Scars was going to rotate out, so I didn't add cards from that block, haha. I'll look at the suggestions.
