This is a FRF version of a competitive deck I have been running. Originally it was just an Esper control utilizing Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver as an engine to defeat opponents.

But now with Fate Reforged, I have come across some really nice tools that shore up a lot of weaknesses, while slimming the colors of the manabase.

That being said, Try this U/B Control variant, I would love to get your feedback.

Silumgar, the Drifting Death

A slow, but inevitable win-con. Excellent blocker, hard to remove, and makes Elspeth near irrelevant.

Ugin, the Spirit Dragon

Another Win-Con, Expensive, but exiles the board, then really starts the clock on your opponent.

Torrent Elemental

Excellent control piece, almost impossible to fully remove especially with delve. Excellent against other control decks as well.

Crux of Fate

BB board wipe, synergizes with Silumgar

Frost Walker

Excellent cheap anti aggro AND control tech from the SB
