This is my first attempt at constructing a Commander Control deck.  It’s a Black/White deck that leverages Liesa, Shroud of Dusk to start the punishment theme against opponents casting non-creature spells. I used ChatGPT to provide the initial recommendations for a deck list that would make it difficult for opponents to get cards out fast and attack.   Since I already had many of the control/punishment themed cards from prior decks, I edited the initial deck list to match what is here.

I liked the idea of combing card effects for life gain and loss, particularly with creatures entering and leaving the battlefield not to mention some mill effects, courtesy of Mindcrank.

I’m sure there are many improvements and changes that can be made so I welcome all thoughts, comments and recommendations. As I said at the outset, this is my first attempt at creating a deck from scratch so I look forward to reading your suggestions.
