Standard four color Dragon control deck.

The Control

• Foul-Tongue Invocation: Net yourself some life and force them to sacrifice a creature.
• Draconic Roar: Perfect for taking out smaller threats and netting some damage through to your opponent.
• Crackling Doom: Get rid of their biggest creature and hit them for two. A great multi-hit spell.
• Radiant Flames: Wipe the board early game to make your single targets more effective.
• Hidden Dragonslayer: A sneaky hit to one of your opponent's big creatures with a way to net you some life with lifelink.

• Utter End: A one of exile for a problem card, like Planeswalkers.

The Counters

Silumgar's Scorn: A cheaper variant of the counterspell which runs with Dragon decks.

Ojutai's Command: Counter their creatures, gain life, draw a card or return your Dragonmaster Outcast or Jace, Vryn's Prodigy   from the graveyard to the field.

Hand Advantage

Tasigur, the Golden Fang: Force your opponent to choose which spell you get back.

Dig Through Time: Seek the answers you need when you need them.

Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  : An early game looter that turns into a way to recycle instant and sorcery cards from your graveyard.

The Dragons

Dragonlord Ojutai: A beast of a hitter with a built in anticipate that is also hexproof. What more could you ask for?

Dragonlord Silumgar: Take control of a threat and use it against them. Force them to kill their own threat or die by it.

Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury: A beater that is able to be dashed. Don't want to leave him on the field? No problem. Dash, deal damage and return it safely to you hand.

Silumgar, the Drifting Death: A hexproof, possible board wipe against smaller creatures. A good end-game creature.

Dragonmaster Outcast: He may not be a dragon but having the ability to shoot out 5/5 Dragon's on your upkeep every turn was enough to squeeze one of into the deck.

Life Gain

Foul-Tongue Invocation: Killing a creature while gaining 4 life is a win/win, every time.

Ojutai's Command: Another way to slow aggro or irritate your opponents. Counter a spell, draw a card, bounce a creature or gain 4 life.

Soulfire Grand Master: Every burn you play will net you life and give you the ability to buy back spells to play multiple times.

Hidden Dragonslayer: A 3/2 lifelink creature that destroys a big creature when it flips. Win/win.

Sideboard

This was thrown together to combat both aggro decks and control match-ups. I have detailed the sideboard changes for each below.

For Aggro

Aggro is a problem for any control deck and being able to survive past turn five is essential. I recommend side-boarding any of these in:

• Radiant Flames: Deal one, two or three damage depending on how many colors you want to use and destroy their boards early.
• Languish: Another decent hit to wipe their board, excellent for taking out Thunderbreak Regents.
• Tasigur, the Golden Fang: Can be a one drop tank against aggro if you fill your graveyard fast enough.
• Kolaghan's Command: Hand control and a two damage burn to take care of their smaller targets.
• Crux of Fate: A good board wipe that won't target your creatures. Perfect for clearing their defenses.

For Control

Playing against control is already a pain, but playing a mirror match against control takes strategy and being able to outwit your opponent. I recommend siding in any of the following:

• Utter End: If Planeswalkers or Indestructible Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hungers are giving you trouble, this is the answer.
• Ugin, the Spirit Dragon: A late game bomb if you can keep him alive.
• Tasigur, the Golden Fang: Useful for restocking your hand.
• Infinite Obliteration: Control doesn't run many creatures, so this card is useful for taking care of their problem cards before they can even be played.
• Exquisite Firecraft: Good four damage burn that cannot be countered.
• Duress: Take problem cards from your opponent's hand and keep their options limited.
• Kolaghan's Command: Hand control with the ability to bounce your killed creatures back to your hand.
