Opponent: OH COME ON! How many counters do you have!?!

Ever wonder when hard lock blue control would return? Well search no further, because it's back. Honey bunches of nope is filled with 6 draw spells, 19 counters in the main board, 9 more in the side for better games post board, and everything else a control deck needs to make your opponent quit. Your Wincon is Clues generated from Trail of Evidence and your counterspell, combined with Mechanized Production. And use your Gearhulks to toolbox any of your draw and counter spells from the grave.

Metallic Rebuke is getting removed. Realistically we can't generate clue tokens till turn 4 and use them for this cards casting cost till turn 5 or 6, in which case it can become a waste of a counter when they just pay it's extra cost.

Baral, Chief of Compliance isn't going to make the cut. I ran him and his value is certainly there, but it's honestly more useful for a decks removal to just be dead draws in their hand, and spending mana to counter and protect him is cards wasted on not countering or removing their board state. Basically he is a turn 4 play at earliest, and protecting him is counter to the idea of the deck.

I am adding more copies back of Torrential Gearhulk as it's ability to abuse graveyard spells (especially Engulf the Shore and Glimmer of Genius make it the best option for the deck.
