This is a pretty funny deck to play with, as it (mostly) won't be what someone is expecting.

It plays mostly like a control deck, except that you have 2 tricks. Abyssal Persecutor and Glistening Oil.
First of all, these 2 cards have great synergy together. An Abyssal Persecutor with Glistening Oil on him will kill your opponent in 2 turns, and if you can't immediately remove your Persecutor to allow you to win the game, the Glistening Oil is nice enough to kill him off for you.
Glistening Oil is also a pretty great removal spell by itself. It will slowly kill off anything you put it on, and make it deal poison counters, which typically don't matter. Once the Oil hits your graveyard, it returns to your hand, not even costing you a card.
You want to hope for a first turn Inquisition. That will help remove their early game spells. You'll typically want to go for things like Stoneforge Mystic, or Lotus Cobra, but obviously this depends a lot on what deck you're facing.
I'm not totally sold on the numbers in this deck. Also, depending on how big of a section the Splinter Twin decks carve out, the deck will need to be modified a little to hate them out better.
This deck forgoes some of the typical strengths of control style decks, but I believe the other merits more than outweigh them.
Let me know what you guys think!
