This is the current UW Control list I am playing. It is probably the most forgiving and easy to play Control deck you can play semi-casually in this format. You can gain card advantage from most every creature you play that isn't an automatic finisher, a couple different ways to grind out/gum up creature based decks that win off combat and don't feature haste, and more. If you have played:

Approach of the Second Sun control (strongly influenced) God Pharao's Gift or any UW reanimator strategy (strongly influenced) UW Miracles control (lesser extent) Caw-Blade (no blades, but card advantage engine in full force, plus a fair great mulligan ability)

So, for tuning this deck out: When you are playing in a true CEDH format [aka hyper competitive decks], you will need to augment this deck by including more graveyard hate, a combo finish of your own or two, Leyline of Sanctity, a few more counter spells, a bit more fast mana, and a couple additional pieces of spot removal.

However, if you are just looking for a great intro to commander, this deck is a fine place to start. Easy to play, but difficult to master.

SPECIAL CARD NOTES:

Nevermore

Cards like this (Meddling Mage, Voidmage Gargoyle, Declaration of Naught, Pithing Needle, etc) always have a direct target in your opponent's commander if it's important. Shutting off a commander is clutch in some matches.

Intuition

This is one of the most powerful cards in the deck. You're playing a reanimation package, and this card can set up easy wins. The very first game I played, opened with T1 Sol Ring into T2 Intution (Find Elesh Norn, Inkwell, Jin Gitaxias), and reanimating a turn three Win condition. You can also set up the pile of Karmic Guide, Reveillark, Reanimation Spell to set up one of the deck's value engines. Then there is the three board wipes grab, the three counterspell grab, and more.

Archeomancer

Archemoancer/Rout/Emeria, the Sky Ruin "active" is a soft lock.

Glen Elendra Archmage

Glen Elendra Archmage is one of the most powerful creatures in the deck. Recycling this creature for free Negates is bananas. Reveillark evokation that brings back Karmic Guide/Glen Elendra is a durable board state that can hold off many decks.
