Stax control, a slow but effective control strategy with heavy removal via enchantments and wrath with the aim of killing your opponent with tokens generated by Luminarch Ascension & essemble the legion while sitting behind the protection of Ghostly Prison & Sphere of Safety.

Echoing Truth is useful in a number of ways, it can provide mass removal of tokens from the field, force things back into the opponents hand slowing them down at instant speed or should they attempt mass removal of enchantments from the field it provides an opening to return some to hand. Speaking of which i've main boarded Remand & Spell Snare to help avoid such spells resolving and of course being creature i can eventually attack with her. A single Idyllic Tutor acts an extra copy of every enchantment in the deck, easy choice.

For further control i've added Venser, the Sojourner whose plus two ability allows you to move around the Detention Sphere & Journey to Nowhere onto new targets with the option to do the same with Copy Enchantment. Or to be more tricky we can bounce Glen Elendra Archmage to reset her persist counter to push her value. Narset Transcendent seems worth trying out as her +1 has a very good ratio for card draw with the rebound also being very relevant. Against aggressive decks for example rebounding a Supreme Verdict or Cryptic Command helps suppress our opponent for two turns.

Essentially you're opponent is going to sit there and watch you play magic
