Sphinxes Rev isn't a modern card it's a 1 of in UWx control but that's it. It's bc modern is too fast that tapping 6 to rev for 3 isn't all that strong (it's powerful but nowhere near game ending like it was in old standard.

Some thoughts would to just make this the traditional UWx Control deck (linked here)

Or just plain UW Control (linked here)

But be forewarned bc control in this meta is awful. The combo decks are very resilient to counter magic, and Jund is arguably the best deck. Control (especially your build) can't beat Tron so you'd have to add something for that but as a Control player myself, good luck :D

I just had a thought ... Sphinx rev plus the Sphinx tutelage would be pretty cool... I know it's slow but just a thought thanks for the advice

Rev is one of my favourite cards of all time! So I like the idea!! But modern is all about speed and disruption

Ojutais command seems like a wasted spot for any other decent card. You have no creatures so the first ability is useless and the others are just not too great. Countering a creature spell rather than any spell kinda stinks. 4 life is meh, and draw a card seems like the only somewhat decent use of it but there are so many other cards that can fill this spot. A finisher creature for instance, or a more devastating spell at least.

I've been thinking about a modern control deck for a while. {Snapcaster Mage} is kind of a must. I wish it interacted better with {Ojutai's Command}.
