After the Protour, it was obvious that the control decks were not squaring up well against the aggro and midrange decks of the format. Especially now that every deck has some form of card advantage. Also, it seems that Horribly Awry hits every creature played in standard except the dragons, and radiant flames hits them all except siege rhino. So here is a sketch of how I might build control going forward.
