Just a very slow modern blue black control deck. can win on the snapcaster/creeping tarpit plan, or by milling your opponent out, primarily with ashiok's plus ability in tandem with casting blues sun's zenith x=alot targeting your opponent, or jace's plus two and minus ten abilities to finish them off. The primary plan is still snap and tarpit beats, it's just nice that your grindy value cards like Jace, blue sun's zenith, and Ashiok apply pressure as legitimate clocks whilst providing the aforementioned value. Is this deck uber-competitive? probably not. Will it be fun if you're a control enthusiast? yeah, most likely.

Sideboard: The two elephants in the room of my sideboard are obviously Kalitas, and Nezahal. let me explain; After playing many post-board control mirrors I've come to the conclusion that running one control hoser like nezahal, primal tide or sphinx of the final word is a significantly better sideboard strategy than playing multiple cards like dispel or negate as it takes up less of your precious sideboard slots, whilst making your opponent's deck who most likely did put in extra counterspells, much much worse. Kalitas serves double purpose of being great against burn and dredge, and punishing decks that take out most or all of their removal against us (tip: try to mention that your deck has so few creatures and how bad your opponent's removal is game 1 to increase the likelihood of this happening.). The rest is pretty obvious. Thoughtseize and countersquall are for combo, leylines are for dredge and other graveyard reliant strategies, damping sphere, and damnation are for tron, and eldrazi respectively.
