Standard or modern?

Standard there is UB or UBW dragons. I believe they are control but am unsure because I don't play standard.

In modern there is little. Twin is a bit control-y.

Esper Dragons and Abzan Control are the two big viable control decks in Standard right now. Choosing between then is basically just choosing if you want Counterspell and dragons or not.

There is also UB Control, which typically isn't as powerful as Esper Dragons. Also there is Mardu Control, but that is a control deck that is designed specifically to fight Esper Dragons. The power level of the cards are a little lower

Esper dragons is competitive, bant control/walkers is fun, Sultai control isn't too bad and may seem awkward but it works somehow, mardu control is one of my favorite to play, and Abzan Control is quite competitive as well. You have some options. I've even seen U/W and U/B still hang around.
