Standard Mardu control. Focus on heavy, diversified removal. Variety of large game ending threats that synergize with removal. Goblin Dark-Dwellers is an obvious choice as it is a 5 turn clock that with evasion that gets you access to more removal. Kalitas again is an obvious choice as removal also makes zombies. Bedlam Reveler was not so obvious. I like it as card draw while also being somewhat threatening. It is especially good against the control match up as game one you will have a number of dead cards that you will be more than willing to discard for more cards. Sorin and ob nixilis are walkers that can also remove creatures and draw cards. All around solid walkers.

In sideboard, I added the accursed witch as a spicy way to deal with aggro and control. The best matchup for this deck is probably GB counters or any other midrange esque decks. Does fine against aggro and is okay against control pre-board. Gets a lot better post-board.

Not completely sure about Dragonmaster, it isn't really synergistic, but it is something that will win the game by itself. Not sure if I should leave it in or replace it with something else. Also not sure of mainboard Kambal or Linvala. Any suggestions are appreciated.
