based off of the standard deck (which I hated) that had "zero" win cons, and used elixir of immortality to win most of it's games, paired with sphinx's revelation. Porting it to modern, basically it is a true control deck, only creatures are manlands, which often you won't use. PW's will win or you just run them out of action with verdicts, spheres and countermagic.Generally you let creatures resolve for the verdict to wipe up, and counter problematic permanents.

Working on the sideboard, and numbers of spells etc. kinda need to test it, hard to create a control deck with no opponent! But, for casual play you probably want more board wipes (usually more creatures) and for more competitive play I'm working on having a decent board for the agressive decks, and how to deal with ulamog. (path is great, countering is great, but I feel like I need another possible answer)
