Blue Black Has a lot of efficient Control options in the Current Standard. Here are a few card choices that might be flexible

Sweepers

Yahenni's Expertise vs. Bontu's Last Reckoning (also possibly Golden Demise)

Card Draw

Hieroglyphic Illumination vs. Secrets of the Golden City

These two decisions in my mind go together. You don't really want Yahenni's Expertise unless you could have a 3 mana play to use off of it, and Secrets is just the best option for that. Also, Illumination is probably better that Secrets without Expertise because it can be cast off of Gearhulk. Really it is a choice of synergy vs. Power
