Best control deck in Extended?

I'm going to the $1k Ext at GenCon, and I prefer control decks, but UW Tron, Aggro Loam and Psychatog all seem to lose to 5C Zoo. (In Levy's Zoo build I traded Mongrels and Grunts for Tarmogoyfs) Is 5C Zoo just the best deck in the format? What beats it?

i have a build of trinket tog where i cut the trinket mages for tarmogoyfs, it has great game vs zoo, much better then 50-50 and being a tog deck its great against anything mid range. With access to extirpate in the board you dont lose to loam or ichoird either.
