Looks interesting. But wouldn't CC rather be controling the board than ramping? Looks like a different deck than true CC but sounds interesting. Not sure which will be better. Also Ichor Wellspring? 2 mana draw 2?
Couriers capsule would be better than wellspring. He has no outlet for the wellspring. Also preordrain seems better at digging than ponder. I dont think Tezz the Seeker belongs though. I mean, you only run 8 artifacts and no borderposts, so he can't be a pseudo Garruk to untap for ramp.
I saw a homebrew rainbow control which used tezzeret, everflowing chalice, voltaic key, and khalni garden to ramp into bolas and ultimatums. Used white for esper charms, wall of omens, and day of judgment. Was pretty neat
2 Wurmcoil Engine, 4 Solemn Simulacrum, and 2 Courier's Capsules do not seem to be enough to warrant building around Mishra, in my opinion. Where are the Signets? Epochrasite? I think Mishra's a cool dude, and I'd love to see him really get abused with some of the cards that just weren't Standard legal when he was, but this list doesn't really do that.

Wouldn't the Borderposts be more useful then the signets? I forgot about Epochrasite I wish I could test my deck and remove things that don't help it but I can't find a good place to play "Modern"
Considering the deck has Jace, Mishra and Cryptic Command, it probably wants signets over borderposts. Also, Mishra's Bauble. Have you tried an artifact-heavy build with Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas? You can pack a lot of CA and backbreaking lines of play into a Mishra/Jace/Tezz shell, so I'm not sure Cruel Ultimatum is necessary.

Edit: Oh, hey, Modern is a format.
