G'day, thanks for your time in checking this out. This my take on a control deck in standard, and Blue Black seems to have the right answers. A fairly obvious main board with a few exceptions. I'm running 4x Thoughtseize and 4x Despise because they're just amazing. Taking out an opponents early threat takes off so much pressure before things get out of hand. Another of my different strategies is in Indulgent Tormentor. On his own, kind of underwhelming. But, on a clear board and an opponent locked down, hes fantastic. 9 times out of 10 my opponent will lose 3-6 life before they cave in and given me extra cards, and that's just what i need by late game. Anyway, please let me know if I've missed anything obvious and/or can suggest anything to help improve the deck. Thanks again.
