To win with this deck you have to get to the late game. You can then win with Gearhulks and The Scarab God. To get there you have a bevy of removal and counterspells at your disposal. You can also use card-draw spells and Search for Azcanta to get you great value over the game. This deck mainly works like any other control deck like Standard While/Blue control or Grixis Control, or even Modern U/W Control, Mono-Blue Control, U/B Control, or Grixis Control. The sideboard you make should be very diverse for the diverse standard metagame. Cards like Contraband Kingpin might seem good in some matchups like big creature decks, but remember that The Scarab God can always help!! Hopefully you have fun with this deck and we will se you around. Good Luck!
