Had been wanting to make a control deck with Eraya, and saw Thrasta in the new modern horizons set and figured it would be a good win condition. I do want to see if there's a better way to run control (leaving in counterspell, as it's incredible that they unbanned it and I feel like all blue decks should run it) but don't have any wincon other than Thrasta. There isn't much room for signal pest, and not enough (I feel) synergy to play grapeshot. Please let me know what kinds of ideas or things to swap would help. Other than choosing signal pest over other cards, I'm not quite sure what other win conditions/options would be available. I have seen other people starting to look at decks like this, so I'd like to maximize it's efficiency while maintaining the ability to use control to stop the second spells on opponent's turns/from killing erata.

I realize running lite control alongside the other cards in the deck will make it tricky to run, which is why I made this as a "needs help" deck. Thank you. Sideboard is intentionally incomplete for suggestions.
