Deck discussion for Brutal Control [Modern]

Cool deck! I like the Yahenni/Ancestral.

I think Draw/Go control needs Cryptic Command. I'd probably replace some Remands. Not sure I like seeing a tempo card in a control deck.
Also, not sure how you deal with creature decks. You might want to think about Board clears. Supreme Verdict/Damnation/Wrath of God.

Also, any reason you're not running Snapcaster Mage?

Yahenni's Expertise is a board wipe?

Only two though...What are the chances you have it turn 4 vs Creature decks?

In a deck where every other card is a draw spell and there is other, powerful removal?

If you do some testing against Zoo/Affinity, I'd like to hear some feedback.
On paper, I'm not sure it will perform well against those decks, but I could be wrong.

I'd suggest another big win condition other then your Linguring Souls and 6 manlands. All of which seem fragile especially the man lands IMHO. Perhaps Geist of Saint Traft or even Sphinx of the Final Word.

Sphinx of the Final Word is a good call.
I think Geist is a little too Tempo oriented for this deck.

Dragonlord Ojutai is even better.

instead of lingering souls, i'd try Gideon, Ally of Zendikar.
Almost as fast as a Lingering soul, but with a lot more chances to survive and can survive your Yaheeni's and/or other boardwipes you may add.

Given the way you have the deck built already, I suggest two cards: Narset Transcendent and Myth Realized. I use both in my WU creatureless control, which is competitive built. I use narset as a draw engine and her second ability as my nuke doubler. Rarely get to use her final because her plus is more useful to me. I use myth as my primary win con because every spell I cast makes it bigger. Just some suggestions.

Liliana of the Veil seems like a natural fit. Access to an edict effect, and discarding Think Twice and Lingering Souls is just swell.
