Hello !

I have played Gay/r since a longer time and I want to splash another color in it and with white the deck deck has an additional removal like Swords, Disenchant and Serenity and it has another nice creature, the Meddling Mage.
This is only a test version:

4 Cloud of Faeries  
4 Grim Lavamancer
4 Meddling Mage
2 Gorilla Shaman

4 Force of Will
3 Stifle
2 Daze
1 Misdirection

3 Null Rod

4 Standstill
4 Curiosity
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk

4 Tundra
4 Volcanic Island
4 Wasteland
4 Flooded Strand
4 Mishra's Factory
2 Faerie Conclave
1 Strip Mine
1 Mox Sapphire

The big problem is the mana base, because with nine non-colored mana it can be very difficult, but I hope that this fault could be repaired.
The next problem is that I didn't have any maindeck removals and I also have no place for it.
Then much fun with take apart

play decree of justice.
you can cycle under a standstill which is awesome.
You may also think about StP.
And my personal thought is that Wastelands can never work in 3 Color deck.

edit:not work that well

There is a slew of tournament results around right now where GermBus Keeper is dominating the top spots, a 4-Color Control deck that packs the full 5 Strip Mine effects. There have been others in the past as well.

About your deck- have you considered simply dropping red in favor of white, and going the weenie route with Meddling Mages obviously, and possibly some other decent White Weenies?
 I think if you add Decree of Justice as Agressive Dude suggested, your deck will become no more than a sub-optimal UWr Landstill build, because you'll either be forced to add more mana sources to support Decree and the long game, as opposed to if you made a UW weenie deck where you could keep the tempo you've built off.

Your manabase is indeed stretching it thin, if you want to stick to a slimmer manabase (in terms of # of total mana sources) you should drop a color and maintain the position of an aggro/control deck rather than add more reactive and late-game cards.

I tried a hand at building a U/W fish deck, but it looks amazingly similar to U/W landstill which would end up being a far superior deck.
