[Standard] What will you be spending your E on!?

Also a Control player, trying to figure out what to do with the energy from AEther Meltdown/Glimmer of Genius (and others).

So far from the non-green colours, it looks like the options are:

Finishers: Demon of Dark Schemes (seems useful, also has -2/-2 on ETB), Aethersquall Ancient (I don't like this one, too expensive and no protection/flash), Whirler Virtuoso (very likely to not fit in dedicated control, but possibly some sort of midrange deck?), Aetherworks Marvel (almost certainly not what we're looking for, but I could be wrong) and Dynavolt Tower (converts all spells into EE, and EE spells become EEEE spells. Allows 'free' lightning bolts in any colour, but requires you to pay 3 mana upfront. Possible if the other energy sinks aren't useful, but expensive)

Value: Aether Theorist (just like Scryfish, but with 1 power, and also gives EEE on ETB! Depending on how other decks look, Aether Theorist might be useful), Die Young/Harnessed Lightning (removal that uses energy counters)

There's also Deadlock Trap, which I don't think is useful, but since one the main weaknesses of Control is Planeswalkers, it shouldn't be overlooked, at the very least.
