I had been debating on making a control/prowess deck for some time but I was disappointed with a lot of the builds I saw with Narset, Enlightened Master and Taigam, Ojutai Master, UNTIL I learned of the interaction with Taigam and Dovescape and promptly fell in love. I'm making this deck to compete with my pod meta which has several creature-less control and blue decks. As the saying goes, "If you can't beat em, join em." ¯\(ツ)/¯

Lockdown the board with Dovescape and Taigam and make your opponents feel like they're trapped in the movie BIRDEMIC or just crush them under the hooves of a rebounded Storm Herd, bonus points for both scenarios if you have Intangible Virtue and/or Anointed Procession out. You can also drop Mirror Entity onto the field and REALLY give em the business. You can also rebound spells like Telemin Performance, Acquire, and Talent of the Telepath to steal your opponent's stuff because let's face it, they probably have better stuff than you, you just aren't letting them cast it. With all the spells we can rebound we will also be getting maximum value from our powerhouses such as Talrand, Sky Summoner and Docent of Perfection  .You'll be surprised how quickly these guys get out of hand.

To keep Taigam safe and let us still poke to get the rebound ability there's stuff like Ghostly Possession and Darksteel Plate. Also remember Taigam only needs to be among the declared attackers for his second ability to trigger, so Reconnaissance is a great way to cheat out his second ability without ever putting him in danger of combat.

Also have Approach of the Second Sun as another wincon in case the tokens just don't work out.

NOTE:

I specifically wanted to avoid an "Extra Turns" build, as it seemed to be the generic go-to for these kinds of decks and I honestly find that style boring. Although we do have ONE such spell in this deck it is far from the main focus so you don't have to feel bad when you inevitably rebound it.
