Well this is my first standard deck. Sideboards and multiple copies of a card are just foreign concepts to me as an edh player. So please excuse me if this deck is not the best. With that out of the way I bring you the 'Just Say Go' Campaign. This is a jeskai control deck. It has been through probably about 5-6 versions at this point and was originally going to be which just did not perform the way I wanted so I ended up putting in red. Then green was kinda dragging the performance down so I swapped it out with white. The deck has a good mix of permission spells and removal spells. There is also a light sub-theme of energy since I wanted to use Aethersquall Ancient as a kind of continual board wipe.

MAIN BOARD

Permission Show

Starting off with the main board we have the permission spells. Void Shatter and Negate are the only two permission spells the main board has. Negate is mainly there to protect Aethersquall Ancient since you want that to stick and stay there. Negate can also be used to stop artifacts and enchantments from hitting the battlefield since the main board does not have any way to remove them once the hit the field. Void Shatter is a bit more versatile so you can also use this as protection but if you don't have any of your burn/kill spells early on you can use it to slow your opponent's aggro threat down a bit till you can draw into your removal cards.

Removal Show

Harnessed Lightning and Processor Assault are the two burn spells in the deck. Processor Assault only has a single copy in the deck since it can be a dead card unless you have used Void Shatter earlier or have it in hand but 5 damage for is cheap and can kill a healthy amount of creatures in standard right now. Next up is Harnessed Lightning. This is a real star when it comes to removal. For you can kill a 3 power creature at instant speed which makes it a fairly value. Since it uses energy though, it can kill almost anything later in the game since the main board runs both Aethersquall Ancient and Glimmer of Genius. So it is very powerful for only a 2 cmc and must have in the mainboard. Immolating Glare is the only single target kill spell in the deck but it offers great defense against any creature that does not have indestructible or hexproof and at only it is a good value. Originally the playset was completed in the sideboard but I think 3 copies is plenty. If you want to add a 4th copy somewhere then it wouldn't hurt but I could not find room for it. Next is the only true board wipe, Fumigate. This is just a great card especially since it not only wipes the board but also gains you life for each creature you kill. The play set is completed in the sideboard if your opponent can fill the board pretty quickly and pretty often. Aethersquall Ancient can also be considered a board wipe but it only sends creatures back to their owners hand which can still be very helpful (especially against tokens) and it can be used multiple times in a game if needed.

Card draw Show

Anticipate and Glimmer of Genius both have a complete playset in the mainboard making for 8 card draw spells. Anticipate is decent card draw spells since it lets you fix your next three turns. So if you think you've hit a pocket of land or you're not hitting land drops then it becomes a very useful card. Only downside of the card is when you could use all 3 cards that you look at. Sometimes it could actually hurt you because of this. There are 3 copies of Evolving Wilds so you can get those cards off the bottom if you need them. Glimmer of Genius is the real star here. Scrying 2, then drawing 2, then gaining . Not much more really needs to be said about how good this card is.

Planeswalkers Show

This is where we start to get into the win conditions. Jace, Unraveler of Secrets himself may not be a win condition but he makes getting to those win cons much easier. His +1 is just a great repeatable card draw and gives second chance at drawing into the card you want. His second ability is nice if you need to delay but other than that I do not use it too often. His final can practically just shutdown your opponent especially later in the game when their hand is depleted. Chandra, Torch of Defiance is a big win con in this deck. The 2 damage she can do each turn is nice but it will take far too long to win the game this way and you may exile cards you need but can't cast i.e. land or permission spells. The 2 mana she gives you is much more useful since it'll allow you play any burn for free or cast Aethersquall Ancient ancient sooner. You could even kill jace using his final and then cast a second copy of him for only 3 cmc and you still will have plenty of mana up on your opponents turn. Her final is really the best part about here, especially in a deck like this with a lot of cheap spells. You can pull out a win the same turn you ultimate her even if your opponent is still at full health.

Creatures Show

Aethersquall Ancient is the only creature in this deck but it is a 4 of so you should be able to draw into it pretty consistently especially with the amount of card draw that is available. Not only is it a 6/6 flier but it also generates and can effectively wipe the board to make attacking much safer. And if you don't want to board wipe with it then you can use the energy generated from it to fuel Harnessed Lightning. This is just a solid card even though it is such a high mana cost but with chandra's ability you can cast it for only 5 cmc.

SIDEBOARD

Sideboards are not my strong suit since I am mainly an edh player. So if you have any suggestions to make it better please let me know. However here is my reasoning for each card:

Combustible Gearhulk Show

I added this card to sideboard mainly incase of the control mirror. It'll make the deck a little more aggro heavy and plus either drawing 3 cards or dealing equal to the cmc of those cards is really just a win win unless you are very unlucky and mill 3 lands into your graveyard. Even if you do mill 3 lands you still at least got rid of essentially dead cards if it is in the late game

Dynavolt Tower Show

This is also another one for the control mirror but it can also be useful is you need more burn since it is reusable. In the control mirror you can use this as another win con. Against heavy agrro decks you can use it as a reusable Lightning Bolt. And if multiple are in play you gen an absurd amount of just making it an even stronger card since one spell can either pay for or almost pay for one use.

Fragmentize Show

This is only in the sideboard since I can't find a place for it in the main board. But this is just cheap artifact and enchantment removal and this was practically a must have since standard is just littered with good artifacts and enchants.

Fumigate Show

This is here to complete the playset in the deck. This just helps with consistency when you are playing against aggro decks that can flood the field

Stasis Snare Show

This is great for any creature but mainly its in here for indestructible creatures.

Summary Dismissal Show

Just a powerful permission spell that is good against anything with a cast ability or in the control mirror when the stack gets rather full of cards.

SUMMARY

Well for my first standard deck I think it has turned out to be pretty solid but I am always open to suggestions. I also don't have a lot of experience with mana fixing a three colored deck but so far from testing it has been doing well enough for me. Mainly with this deck you just want to delay the game until you either get Aethersquall Ancient out or you get Chandra, Torch of Defiance's final off. With the mix of permission, removal spells, and card draw you should get to one or both of the win cons. The sideboard does offer 2 more win cons if you are not having luck with the 2 in the main board. Anyways, please leave any suggestions you may have and if you decide to play the deck I hope you enjoy it.
