Control deck based around the card Cruel Ultimatum (aka a "Cruel Control" deck). Win cons surround around Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, some burn, Creeping Tar Pit, and of course Cruel Ultimatum. Everything else is just counters, hand disruptions, board wipe, etc.

Advice and recommendations appreciated.
