Hello everyone I have a quick question! So if I make a control deck. I don't understand the win condition. How do you win with a control deck?
Lock out or slow opponent down enough such that you get your fatties down and protected. There are alternatives like control mill, burn/drain finisher, and setting up a game winning combo. But the easiest one would be dropping a fattie that they will have a hard time dealing against and putting them on a short clock.
Most game finishers with control are plainswalkers ({Nicol Bolas, Plainswalker}, for instance) or titans ({Frost Titan}, {Inferno Titan}, {Primeval Titan}, {Grave Titan}, {Sun Titan})

Why not blue? Blue is usually the "control" color, next to black's removal.
Yeah, Blue, Black, Red, is a great choice for control.
Card draw: Blue and Red
Removal: Black and Blue
Win con: Black, Blue, or Red...depending on your choice.

Okay but whats the ratio of each?
My personal favorite is
(not including land)
20% {B}
45% {U}
35% {W}

What was your win condition?
For his win con he can have:
2x {Nocol Bolas, Plainswalker}
1x {Karn, Liberated}
2x {Consecrated Sphinx}
2x {Frost Titan}
something like that :p you could even have {Liliana of the Veil}.

Bolas is red?
Oh sorry, I thought he posted {R} and not {W} haha.
Well just my opinion but I think grixis control is superior to esper. Though I am no expert. I have just played against both at fnm and grixis seems better.
Bought the event deck from M13 UR Sweet Revenge. It's fun to play always something to do. Kinda a flashback control deck
