Blue control shenanigans, with lots of scrying and Direct Damage. The idea is that once the commander Melek, Izzet Paragon hits the battlefield, I'll scry and shove all my direct damage stuff on top, cast direct damage one after another (doubling each time from Melek's ability to copy spells) ending with another scry to set up my next barrage. Until then, I have several defense happy creatures (or walls) to keep me safe.Thoughts?
