The genesis of this Ephara deck was a challenge to build a control deck that wasn't combo. Also an Azorius deck that isn't stax. The deck is low to mid power level but because it's creature based, it is too slow and uninteractive to hang with high power decks. But that's where I want it to be. I'm pretty happy with where it's at and how it plays, a decent balance of fun without being too oppressive for Azorius, which is quite a feat.
