This deck idea is to control the game via powerful sagas Black and White have to offer.

Land destruction combo

Play Phyrexian Scriptures on turn 5, then Fall of the Thran on turn 6. On your 7th turn, you will be able to get back 2 lands while your opponent won't, because their graveyard will be exiled by the 3rd chapter of Phyrexian Scriptures.

Filtering

Use Azor's Gateway to filter your library and to set up the land destruction combo. Use it to discard excess lands and Sagas. Don't flip it before destroying all lands, as a flipped Azor's Gateway is a land that can be lost.

Surviving

While setting up the land destruction combo, use History of Benalia 's knights and Lyra Dawnbringer to protect your life. Use various removal to control the board. Don't forget that Phyrexian Scriptures kills everything that is not an artifact.

Winning

When the board is clear, flip Azor's Gateway to boost your mana. You will have at least 8 mana available if you flip the turn after all lands are destructed (as Azor's Gateway gives you 5 lifes, so it can be tapped for 6 mana if you had only 1 life left + 2 lands back from your cemetery). Use this mana to play a kicked Josu Vess, Lich Knight or a Lyra Dawnbringer or to fetch another winning condition from your sideboard with one of the 2 Mastermind's Acquisition (Approach of the Second Sun or Torment of Hailfire).

You can use Profane Procession to remove at instant speed all of your opponent's creature as soon as they play them.

Against Control

Against Control decks, play your Duress, Doomfall and Lost Legacy wisely. If you can destroy all of your opponents lands, they won't be able to counter your winning condition.
