The Deck

So the deck is 100% a control deck trying to keep your opponent off their game with a wide variety of creature destruction and hand disruption. The deck is trying to make room for wins with Remorseless Punishment and Reality Smasher.

The Sideboard

Transgress the Mind - A very useful tool against control, abzan, and eldrazi based strategies.

Infinite Obliteration - Needed to combat Eldrazi Ramp style decks as well as Rally decks.

Virulent Plague - In case tokens or eldrazi spawn become/continue to be a threat in the format early.

Palace Siege - More of a pet card that adds an additional finisher against control or slow style decks, easily the 1st sideboard card I switch out.

Warping Wail - I like it against control, sweepers, Jace, just a strong utility card.

UPDATE #2 — Jan. 29, 2016

Edit

A little bit of a jig around to get it more consistent after a pretty good weekend. (5-1 semi final loss in top 8).

Mainboard

-2 Bearer of Silence -1 Read the Bones +3 Matter Reshaper

Sideboard -2 Ob Nixilis Reignited -1 Infinite Obliteration +2 Bearer of SIlence +1 Duress

I think I really overlooked how good Matter Reshaper is, it can lay on pressure and nets us card advantage. Bearer of Silence just didn't need a four of in main board as there are some matches it felt bad against, but we still want access to all four in case of Ramp + Esper Dragons. Other then E.Dragons we never wanted Ob Nix, we put cards in the side that have more utility in more matches.
