A New W/U Control deck I made for Arena's Historic format, based around Approach of the Second Sun (I want to say, this deck is, in my opinion, not quite as good as my other Historic Control deck, Am Eiffelturm [Arena Esper Control] , as Azorius lacks the removal that Esper possesses. However, this is still a perfectly playable deck, and I play both regularly.)

As with many of my control decks, the idea with this one is to try to keep a few creatures out for blocking, but the board is mainly expected to be wiped multiple times per game. Time Wipe can save Augur of Bolas or Nyx-Fleece Ram, depending on what is needed at the time, then kill the rest of the creatures. Wrath of God was considered, but with Regenerate not being in Historic, Doomskar works just fine in every game I've had. Planar Cleansing in the side for the games where artifacts/enchantments/planeswalkers start to turn things against the player.

Clear the Mind is a big help in these cases, since Elixir of Immortality is not in the format, and some way to shuffle the graveyard into the library is needed for the longest of games.Sphinx's Revelation, isn't just a wonderful card for card advantage in this deck, if you Ult Teferi, Sphinx's Rev can essentially lock your opponent out of playing anymore.

Should thing's really require creatures to seal the deal, Archon of Sun's Grace can generate quite a few tokens with the enchantments in the deck, although that is definitely not something I built this deck around. Occasionally, a healthy board presence is required. Hopefully this explains the deck well enough!
