This is basic black blue control. Haven't tested it yet. Got my last two fetch lands yesterday.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver this is one of my favorite standard cards and I feel it's very underplayed. Ashiok will gather me creature support along with potential mill and answer remover.

Disdainful Stroke and Dissolve will be my counter spells. I believe stroke will get the work done since most threats come with a 4 cost or greater.

Dig Through Time such a good card. Its no sphinx rev but it will dig out the answers or tools you will need to win or survive.

Despise and Thoughtseize will let me see the opponents hand up to six times per game and the obvious discard.

Drown in Sorrow for the token jerks out there that produce more than one type of token.

Hero's Downfall staple removal in standard if you are playing black.

Liliana Vess great tutor and I enjoy shrinking my opponents hand size. Less answers for you, more opportunity for me.

Empty the Pits oddball win con. But I see it can be good against the mirror match or any other control deck.

Prognostic Sphinx my only muscle, my scry, my shield, my sword.

Bile Blight again...token dicks! But also great instant removal.

Murderous Cut Plan B when I can't find plan A. One drop kill spell? Sure!

Temple of Enlightenment Temple of Silence Temple of Deceit my scry.

Dismal Backwater these lands are bad but I have zero life gain and I need some mana fixing.

Polluted Delta Flooded Strand my fetches are to fuel delve.

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth I can tap my fetches!

I do need help with sideboard. I don't think splashing white is a great idea. But I do like the thought of the exile cards. I would love some suggestions for my sideboard or if you can see any improvements that could be made to my main board.

Not satisfied with 5th at all. Before the slight changes to my deck I took out Prognostic Sphinx and added Pearl Lake Ancient. The deck performed well but the players in my area all run aggro and my deck couldn't keep up with the speed of some of them. So I made a few changes after the tournament to adjust.
