Struggling with Dominaria standard control
Standard Deck Help forum

My gut says that control is going to be a thing and I really am leaning in that direction. My main concern is do I go with Approach or something else.
One idea I have is keep Approach in the sideboard and bring it out in the next game. But it's rough and we don't know what the rest of Dominaria is going to look like. Right now I am eyeballing Teferi and his Oath.
Thoughts?

youlucky If I employ that saga; I'm going to be really hard pressed to get to Approach. At 6CMC to cast it's almost not worth it

WU control is very difficult, you lack the removal that black provides via Fatal Push and Vraska's Contempt. The new enchantment that exiles tapped creatures (Seal Away) is great, but can't be flashed back via Torrential Gearhulk or similar. I think the direction that control should go is UB with a splash of white.

I bombed out with Esper back in Amonkhet; but I think I can do better by using white as a splash
Right now I run Grixis, and it's done well for me. And now my mind is buzzing about simply replacing the red cards or cards that use red and replace them with white....something to think about

In Dominaria we have white Saga that destroy all lands at 1 lore counter, maybe possible make some control with stax-element?
