This is a control deck I built that started off as Blue and White. Cavern of Souls recently threw a wrench in my "just counter the bomb" plans, so I made a deck that instead tries to play efficient answers to threats.

Testing with Black was giving me slow and poor early answers to undying creatures becoming centerpiece in new aggro decks. Red was added for these matchups so I could play cards like Pillar of Flame and Whipflare. The ability to play an excellent card for the mirror, Desolate Lighthouse, also proved lucrative.
