Dragon was pretty tough and I got some pretty lucky topdecks however I played 4c control three times and crushed them every time. Mind you I did play against one of the best 4cControl players in our area twice. I think my version of the deck is a great choice in an environment like Minnesota because alot of 4c and slaver is played. Do you think Mishra's factory would be a good choice to combat null rod? Good luck with testing

Since dragon has to resolve so few spells, your lock elements are relatively weak against them (in contradiction with other combo decks)
Regarding Factory, at first I didn't give them any respect at all, because they're only giving 1 mana. If I wanted to add 1 mana lands, I'd add glimmervoid first.
However, I am turning around a bit, as their synergy with modular is also a nice benefit. I don't think I will be running them anytime soon, but they're in the back of my head. I'll know to consider them when I think their time has come.
