A couple weekends ago I sleeved this up. It is essentially a clone of a list from 6 person event in Italy (EDIT: And another 16 person event taken down by the same 75), but the guy DID win. Guess that counts for something? I ended up 1-2ing my event, but both losses were very close game three losses.

1 Ancestral Recall
1 Flusterstorm
2 Mindbreak Trap
1 Steel Sabotage
2 Hero's Downfall
2 Mental Misstep
2 Misdirection
2 Mana Drain

1 Demonic Tutor
1 Time Walk
1 Toxic Deluge

2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
2 Liliana of the Veil
1 Black Lotus
1 Crucible of Worlds
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Mox Jet

4 Polluted Delta
4 Underground Sea

Sideboard
1 Toxic Deluge

1 Echoing Truth
2 Yixlid Jailer
3 Grafdigger's Cage
1 Surgical Extraction
2 Nightveil Specter
1 Nihil Spellbomb
There were some issues with the deck. Like... Ashiok. That card was bad. It should just be another removal spell and another Jace.
That said, this felt like one of the better actual control decks I have played in the format in some time. Standstill is very good, and pairing with black for Deluge is incredible. That card is just amazing. T1 rat is a force to be reckoned with. I even had the pleasure of T1 Sea, Lotus, Rat, Standstill against a RUG delver deck. Won that one.
