It is a true control deck.

Dig through time is amazing, and it can handle 3 of. Usually by the time you are casting a 2nd or 3rd you don't even need to delve cards (but you do, so you can hold mana up to counterspell) A slew of counterspells, exiles, and some board wipes/returns makes it pretty easy to win games. Even against really fast decks (and easier after sideboard)

Whelming wave hasn't seen play, yet, just breaks down almost any creature deck. Even devotion decks have to spend a turn or two just recasting mana dorks while you get ahead in cards. Also a 4 drop "board clear" is what made control decks work in the past.

Elsepth, and prog, are decent finishers. Looking at pearl lake ancient as a semi-indestructable, fast finisher (anti-control)
