The idea behind this deck is to hold my opponent at bay for as long as possible while I mill him out of cards or if a Torment of Hailfire shows up late game, I use that to either discard/sacrifice everything they have or I one shot them.

The problem is. It just doesn't work. I've made maybe 2 control decks in my lifetime and I have no idea where I need to go with this. I would like to add more mill cards, but I just don't know what to add or if there is even enough to be competitive currently.

Arena is only playing these sets right now. -Dominaria, Rivals of Ixalan, Ixalan, Hour of Devastation, and Amonkhet. If they were playing all standard cards, there would be much more of a variety of good milling cards, but at the moment, it just feels like it's not possible. I need help with this.

Fleet Swallower seems to cost too much to even make use of. Is this true? If I could manage to get it out and then attack while Fraying Sanity was on the field, then it would work out really well.

Homarid Explorer could become a real threat if I were to return it to my hand and recast it again. I wish that it were a wizard to work with Naban, Dean of Iteration .

Naru Meha, Master Wizard , Compelling Argument , Fraying Sanity , Primal Wellspring , and The Mirari Conjecture all work really well together and could cause a devastating hit on a player's library.

I like Twilight Prophet as it acts as an extra draw each turn as well as helps to keep me alive.

I don't necessarily need black, but the creature removal helped me more than countering, especially since I could duplicate it and destroy multiple creatures at once.
