Tweaking this deck as there's not much required. Throwing in the newest dragon to my collection; Chromium, the Mutable.

He is big.

He is dangerous.

He is almost guaranteed to beat the crap out of almost anything; including your opponent.

EARLY GAME Show

Keep the board clear. Fatal Push and Cast Down will do the job till Gids joins up. Then it's all about his +1 and swinging when required. If you can, save the counters for the big things that you can't push or cast down.

MID-GAME Show

Big removal like Vraska's Contempt or a shield like Settle the Wreckage becomes available. Getting Lyra down will be MASSIVE. Huge body; huge threat, and can stand up to almost any major threat and her lifelink will keep you alive. card:Fumaigate will clear the board, You will be well served this way. This is where you want to try to get Teferi down; his +1 is very strong and his -3 is more damaging than you realize. It hits ANY non-land permanent. Of course; it's all about his ultimate; and if you get there; it's all over for your opponent.

LATE GAME Show

Chromium, the Mutable is your friend and you want to drop him when you can, but do so on your opponent's end step; or if you can use him as a surprise blocker. Just remember that while he is difficult to interact with thanks to his discard ability; there are ways around it.

SIDEBOARD Show

Duress: Control HATES this card. Nuff said.

Shalai, Voice of Plenty How do you deal with a deck that is chock full of removal or burn? You force your opponent's hand by giving him/her only one available target. This will do just that.

Invoke the Divine Artifacts and enchantments are still a thing, this will help you; especially in a UW control mirror.

Torrential Gearhulk I know what you're going to say: "Agent Green, this should be in the mainboard". Well that's the expected response; but with so many good cards in the MB; I figured this is a good way to ambush an unsuspecting opponent. By throwing him post game 1, it becomes a wild card and can cause a whole bunch of problems for your opponent. A flash big body that flashbacks a spell.

Negate and Nezahal, Primal Tide Use only in control mirrors. Nezahal is a proven mirror breaker and that's all he is used for. This will win you control mirrors, and this + Teferi's ultimate, will pretty much win you the game

As always, feedback appreciated, and if you like it, give it a +1
