Deck Description

Fairly self-explanatory.

Some interesting interactions:
Endless Whispers + Phage the Untouchable + smallpox (too slow and situational to be worth putting Phage in imo)
Gray Merchant + Safe Haven is a cute combo

Note: Torpor orb will cancel Gray Merchant's ability (and Batterskull?), so it might be worth cutting.

Thoughts:
I think this deck would perform very well in the current meta; although I haven't tested the deck yet, nor do I have experience with control decks. I might tweak the mana base (fetches? Reliquary tower? 22 lands?). Endless Whispers is an interesting card that can easily backfire, and for that reason it needs serious playtesting. Lose Hope + Read the Bones are worth considering for scry.
