Using the new Narset to make a classic UW Control archetype work in Standard.

So the control shell is straightforward: 26 lands, sweepers, spot removal for early stuff, and lots of card draw.

Notable differences to what I've been seeing in recent control decks:Jeskai Sage: For 2 mana blocks damage (pseudo-lifegain) and cantrips. Now, he's also a target for Ojutai's Command. I'm least convinced of this card than any other, so any thoughts on him--pro or con--would be helpful.

Ojutai's Command: Recurs Sage, counters creatures, draws cards, gains life in a pinch. Sign me up.

Narset Transcendent: She draws cards, gives over half the deck rebound, and starts at 6 loyalty. Have you ever rebounded a Dig through Time? I haven't, but I sure want to!

Pristine Skywise and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon serve as finishers.

Maybeboard So here, I'm thinking that the 2 Void Snares should sub in for 2 of the Jeskai Sages. It plays better with Narset and does better at slowing down opponents throughout the game.

Also, I'm thinking about running 1 cranial Archive. I was testing this on Untap (great site btw, check it out) and came within 15 cards of decking myself with all the card draw. Thoughts?
