In general Blue / Black control deck using Ashiok + Scarab God as finishers. Scarad God ability has nice small synergy with Ashiok ultimate.

Spot removal, hand disruption, few anti grave spells, countermagic, some card draw.

Living lands as additonal threats.

There is still Gearhulk and Shark Typhoon as regular finishers.

Trying to use Phantom Interference as early game counter + some utility later (maybe can be used instead of Censors). Testing Three Steps Ahead as versatile counter with other possible effects (instead of Confounding Riddle). Disallow to be able counter some abilities.

Drown in the Loch has still nice versatility. The End is nice final answer for bigger threats and works great vs Phoenix.
