Considering building an U/W control list to break into pioneer with, how well does it do? Any really bad match ups?

I'm still feeling my way around Pioneer, but this list and variants is one of the most popular decks in the meta.

Bant Spirits (using mostly for Collected Company) also makes the top ten.

Thanks!

I made this initial list Control with too many wincons

But I see some obvious upgrades I can make

I've played against UW Control in Pioneer.

I feel it is stronger than UB.

The meta is quite fast. That means Control usually wins the first game, but not the other two.

I would think about having a transformative Sideboard, to put more little Creatures in the post-sideboard games.
