I'm actually leaning towards Bant as a draw-go deck reminiscent of Esper last Standard, with Narset replacing Jace, Architect of Thought. Courser of Kruphix plus scrylands and fetches should nicely enable Narset's +1.

Formerly Angrypossum over at the now-defunct WotC forums.
I want to play her so bad in either UW control before theros is gone, or a Jeskai control. if i went jeskai i think i would get more use for her -2 with leaning towards more RU burn counter, splash white for her and ends. playing free burn spells is epic, free Digs is epic, also the new "cryptic command lite" lol is pretty awesome. however i wish it was counter target spell not "creature spell" by far my 2 favorite cards thus far. if anyone has a good idea of Deck lists for either id love too take a look and give you my opinion
I'm working on an esper control list with her. I think that even though KTK is wedge-based, at this point it might be better to consider shards for three-color decks. You get to play 2 fetch lands to maximum efficiency, you get 2 commands (whereas the wedges will only have access to 1 command).
Token and control strategies will love her. Depending on silumgars command esper walkers is looking very good. Who doesn't want to rebound treasure cruise? No one, that's who.
What I was looking at for U/w control is t4 Narset T5 End Hostilities with rebound forcing my opp to either play nothing on their turn or get it wrathed away for free giving me time to set up counterspells.

rebound TC, Dig.. probably the 2 more valuable ones, also was thinking like a jeskai control, leaning towards heavy RU, splash white for her, ends and sideboard. rebounding burn spells would be pretty awesome. and then theres the unrealistic temporal tresspass rebound lol...
I'm really liking a R/W Burn-Tokens build splashing blue for her and ascendancy. Narset with raise the alarm, dragon fodder, and hordeling outburst plus the creature base of Brimaz, Monastery Mentor, and Goblin Rabblemaster sounds like it would be going absurdly wide.
I don't think using her -2 on a board wipe is the best use of that ability. The opponent's going to know they get a free board wipe the following turn, so they basically just get delayed a turn before they start playing creatures again.

@tchntm43 Thats the point they stop for a turn, the absolute worst turn for a control deck is the turn after an early board wipe, your shields are down and prevents you from just countering their play if you force them to stall a turn your shields are up and counterspells are active.

I'm not convinced this is a control card. It works better with proactive cards than reactive cards, as rebound is bad with kill cards and counters, and it reveals the cards you draw off it.
I'm thinking it's more of a burn deck card to go along with monastery mentor and seeker of the way.
But it rebounds dig and jace's ingenuity. While you would often rather do those things at instant speed it is still good. The really thing to look at is the +1 and starting loyalty. The real question is whether scry effects can negate the high land count in control.

Exactly. Burn/tokens fit better for her. Control doesn't have as much cards you want to rebound with since they're mostly reactive.
This doesn't mean she won't be better in a pro-active deck instead of a reactive one. Maybe she will be. But I think with just End Hostilities and Divination, she'd be perfectly playable in a control deck.
No one's stupid enough to play a creature after you rebound a End Hostilities though, unless there's a haste creature that can deal lethal damage or dash creatures. It's not a good rebound target.
Going to call dud. Bad colors to be able to protect her. Doesn't protect herself. Will draw cards less often than Domri Rade (even at max Domri was barely over 50% of the time).
2 of at max if she does get played. You want to be able to cast Narset + a spell with rebound in the same turn. Otherwise just not worth it.
