Bant Panorama is a serviceable budget land you are missing. Wrath of God could be upgraded to something better, probably Austere Command. Despite the exalted Frontline Sage feels too weak. If you want him for the looter ability I'd just add in some card draw or if you're using him more for exalted then a piece of equipment would be a good replacement.

I think your right Austere Command gives more flexibility than wrath and another mana fixing land couldn't hurt. As for the sage I agree he is a little weak overall, I was using him as repetitive card draw mostly and the exalted was just a little extra bonus he had over other looters, do you think something like Future Sight would be a better option?
I'd stick with a staple like Fact or Fiction, you really can't go wrong there. Alternatively if you find yourself running out of gas sometimes and would like a big explosion of card draw you could look into Recurring Insight.
I can see how it would be since if they could finish me off they could just pay the life for the Annex but with Restraint they would still have to have the mana.

I'll go ahead and use Fact or Fiction since with Recurring Insight I have had no luck with it in a few older builds I ran, my opponents usually have a very small hand if any.
Also I have two more questions
First is Eladamri's Call a better card than Worldly Tutor, since it puts it in your hand?
Second do you see anything worth taking out for Luminarch Ascension? I think it might be a decent backup strategy since I should be able to protect myself from damage to get it online and it would be able to make a large amount of blockers.

The main idea is to restrict combat as much as possible, usually with Dueling Grounds or Silent Arbiter but using
Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, Windborn Muse and Norn's Annex as back up ways to slow my opponents down.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions to improve this List, would love any feedback

True, it does scream deal with me or else. Maybe something like Imperial Mask would be better, go for less aggro and more protection.
Any thoughts?
