Pseudo Draw-Go control sans blue.

Deals well with creatures to let planeswalkers generate value. Lingering Souls ends up winning games far more than I expected it to. This deck would obviously prefer SFM, but with JTMS having been unbanned, this seems ever less likely.

The deck will skew white in most cases after sideboarding, depending on the match-up. The mana base also has quite a few basics to fight Ghost Quarter as well as make fetching in tight situations a bit nicer if need be.

Damping Sphere appears to be a really good answer to two of the bogey decks in Storm and Tron. Meta dependent, it could probably be worked into the mainboard, though this would require good knowledge of the meta prior to registration.
