This is my current attempt at a cEDH-viable mono blue control list. I’m running all of the most efficient interaction in blue and a very tight win-con for a deck in this style. The actual win comes from a simple High Tide + Palinchron combo using Kefnet the Mindful as our mana sink to find a Blue Sun’s Zenith.

The atypical thing about this deck is how it finds the combo. 2 cards have to be in your hand to go for the win, High Tide and Polymorph. That’s 1 instant and 1 sorcery, so our win-con is very easy to tutor in the colors. Targeting Kefnet with Polymorph works very favorably in that Polymorph does not require the target creature to be destroyed to find its replacement. We bounce it off Kefnet and flip until we hit Palinchron, as it’s the only other creature in the deck.
