Hello everyone! I usually prefer aggro and midrange decks. Never played control decks before but I've just got 4 copies of Warrant / Warden (thanks to FNM drafts). So the idea is to build a deck in Azorius colors.

Strategy and tactics
The strategy is obvious: to survive in the early game, to control the board with counterspells and enchantments in the mid-game, to win with flyers in the late game .
Early game. Sage's Row Savant and Dimir Informant are your "eyes" providing scry and surveil effects. Sphinx of Foresight in your opening hand is great too. Syncopate is a very nice counterspell.
Mid-late game. I thinkWarrant / Warden is a very useful multitask card: control in the early and mid-game, a serious threat in the late game. Karn, Scion of Urza for card advantage. Azor, the Lawbringer seems pretty solid as a 6/6 flyer with his "law enforcement ability".

Thanks in advance for the feedback. I'd be very greatful for any recommendations especially about the sideboard.
