This is my take on a more traditional control deck for EDH. I try to only answer cards that are direct threats to myself and draw extra cards when given the chance. Opposing card advantage engines must be dealt with as well. The deck wins slowly but surely as I try to grind out my opponents with greater card advantage. Removal and counter spells are plenty and threats are cheap with additional utility. Feel free to make suggestions as I'm always trying to improve my decks.
