A fairly bog standard U/W control deck. Answer threats early with censors or syncopates, card draw for mid/late game and Teferi + Gideon to help generate card advantage and control the board. Once things have moved along and you have mana to spare, Cryptic Serpents can be cast cheap and start hitting your opponent hard. If you can't find a serpent, Gideon makes light work if the way is clear.

The Nimble Obstructionists are in to test as a split with Disallow. Can't counter spells but provides a card draw, and can be used as a flash blocker, or attacker, in a pinch.

The deck is currently only listing the cards I own, so I can properly playtest and will be updated as new cards are added/replaced. Currently looking to get more mass removal, such as Settle the Wreckage and an extra Fumigate. :) No current sideboard as I've just not got around to sorting it yet, but it will likely be geared towards specific spell counters (extra Negates/Scatters) and spot removal for creatures (Seal Away, Gideon's Reproach, Cast Out, etc).

All feedback is appreciated.
