This is my take on a UB control deck for standard. It is a creature control deck that allows me to disrupt my opponents field and keep the match to my "rhythm" and allows me to play to my speed. It has some aggro points to it, but seriously hits hard for what I am wanting to do with it.

Authority and Thalia are my all stars in the deck. they slow aggro decks way down and lets me assume the mantle early.

Lone rider flips with ease when I have a Gisela out, and can turn into a beat stick itself if needed (almost always welcome!)

The 1 of Bruna is specifically for Gisela since it allows me to make a serious win con that feels more like a win more... but Bruna also lets me get the humans in the grave too, so It helps make a tool box card.

Mage and queller round the creatures out as a bonus living counter and creature bounce. I like them as a pair and they really help the mid game to progress at my speed.

Playset of counterspells are a new addition and still need to further test them.

Dec in stone is just another amazing removal spell. need 1 more, but unsure where at.
