I’ve been currently terrorizing people with this following list.
Chart a Course x4 Mission Briefing x3 Search for Azcanta x2 Root Snare x4 Divination x2 Gift of Paradise x4 Pause for Reflection x4 Settle the Wreckage x3 Karn, Scion of Urza x2 Teferi, Hero of Dominaria x4 Nexus of Fate x4
Temple Garden x4 Sunpetal Grove x4 Hinderland Harbor x4 Glacial Fortress x4 Plains x2 Island x3 Forest x3
And terrorizing truly is the correct verb, this deck is straight up degenerate. Between Settle the Wreckage, Root Snare, Pause for Reflection, and Mission Briefing that’s 14 turns of fog in the deck. Teferi is the main powerhouse, Gift helps us ramp him out turn 4 and gains us life to keep ahead of all the fast Aggro decks. Teferi’s +1 is especially great in this deck because you can untap both Azcanta and lands enchanted with gift of paradise and it lets you tap out but still have mana open for fogs. Besides that just a bunch of card draw and four nexus of fates so I can have infinite extra turns. If my opponent is stubborn and will not concede as I take infinite turns and exile their whole board with Teferi’s token Karn serves as an actual real win condition.
I LOVE this deck, most fun I’ve had playing standard in a long time but I wouldn’t take it into a competitive ladder because it doesn’t stack up well against other control decks because all the fogs become dead cards and the deck is very weak to counter magic, but the chances of any creature based deck winning against it is little to none.
Still working on ironing out the list 100%.

You are officially a bad person. That was the majority of the decks on MTGA. It turned magic into a one player game. I’d play into it with the decks I wanted to play anyway, and I’d race just to see if they screwed up, but after a few turns of nexus of fate I’d just minimize the window. If people want to waste my time, I’ll waste theirs.

I’m well aware of my wickedness! 
I also play u/b control, b/u control, grixis control and esper control

8 Drake Izzet and Dredge are my “I don’t fell like being an asshole” decks.

I was playing B/G saprolings, Goblins, and W/B equipment knights. It's not "a deck" as far as most people were concerned, but I learned how to smoke a lot of people with it. I basically couldn't beat vampires and Turbo fog. Outside of that it was fun to play something that might shake up the meta just for the fact that someone was playing it.

Abzan Knights is pretty good. Splashing black for trophy x4 helps you beat fog pretty easily.

Been playing a lot of Abzan Knights today actually. It’s been super refreshing because everyone has been playing a handful of decks since the SCG Classic lists went up.
Here’s the list I’ve been running.
Knight of Grace x3 Knight of Malice x4 Assassin’s Trophy x3 Assure // Assemble x2 History of Benalia x4 Midnight Reaper x2 Knight of Autumn x4 Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants x2 Conclave Tribunal x4 Valiant Knight x2 Aryel, Knight of Windgrace x1 Conclave Cavalier x4 Vivien Reid x1
Isolated Chapel x4 Overgrown Tomb x4 Sunpetal Grove x4 Temple Garden x4 Unclaimed Territory x2 Plains x4 Forest x2
Not 100% sure about this list, especially the mana base, thinking about replacing the two forests with Woodland Cemetery’s but I’m afraid of losing tempo from failed check lands.

I was using something similar before the update. I liked the knights of malice and grace playing off each other. working on a red blue mill which works sometimes just doesn't start chugging along till midgame.

You could check it out again, the additions of knight of autumn and conclave cavalier really fix a lot of the problems the deck used to have.
U/R mill? That’s the red for, removal? Seems a bit counterintuitive with drowned secrets.

Malice and grace are a good combo. I was running two grace and 4 malice. Mine was equipment knights so I put 2 cabal Paladins in. It enabled wins against decks that locked me out on board just before I killed them.
I ran some strange cards like Sram. But it worked.
The lands I explored were a lot like what you had. I tried memorial to folly and memorial to heroes... or whatever the white one was. They came into play a lot less than I thought.
