Whoooooooshhhh!!

Old school draw-go counterburn deck: Counter and burn and counter again. If they're not burnt out by then, eventually place a creature in play and go for the win!

This deck was inspired by the list in Frank Lepore's video: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=12172 (watch the matches...they're awesome!) with a few nips and tucks of mine.

I believe this type of control deck runs more counters and draw spells than the Dimir/Azorius/Esper builds that have been popping up and should be given a go.

I'm going to be bringing this build to my LGS this weekend and test the waters.

Cheers!
