A modified version of the midrange-y control deck that Yuuya Watanabe brought to the Modern World Championship at Pax Prime 2015.

Using Dragonlord Ojutai, Sun Titan, and Celestial Colonnade as finishers, it controls the early and midgame, while still providing some strong threats like Kitchen Finks and Vendillion Clique .

Watanabe's list didn't run any Sphinx's Revelation, and only 2 Remands in favor of running 4 copies of Ghost Quarter. While I see the logic there, in my own testing, I found that the mana-flood was far too frequent, and the tempo made by Remand was too valuable to just have 2.

The Sphinx's Revelation was added to provide a bit of gas if I ever end up running low. Although a lot of cards cantrip, or at least have the possibility of cantripping, some fuel never hurts when the game goes long.
