WURx (New Concept Jeskai Control) (Modern MTG Deck)

Hello everyone and welcome to this deck tech for a new jeskai control concept I am working on.... this is a control deck meant to be specifically resilient against grave and combo strategies currently existing in modern. In this deck I am using a number of creature and spell based removal and protection that allows us to walk through matchups against decks like death's shadow, izzet phoenix and dredge without many problems. So, let's take a look at how this deck is designed and why it's effective in neutralizing the main tier threats.

First, we have 4x Chalice of the Void to shut off the majority of the nonsense coming from the fast tier decks. I am talking about Opt , Gut Shot , Serum Visions , Death's Shadow , Path to Exile , Delver of Secrets , Hardened Scales , Animation Module , Inquisition of Kozilek , Thoughtseize , Surgical Extraction , Ancient Stirrings , Stubborn Denial , Lightning Bolt , etc. If we resolve this turn 1 with the help of Simian Spirit Guide we often see opponents scoop or struggle for a few turns then scoop.

Next we have Rest in Peace which fully destroys hardened scales affinity, dredge and phoenix. Pretty self explanatory.

Next we have Settle the Wreckage to deal with onslaught attacks cleanly and effectively as possible. That's right, just exile it and it's gone. Hopefully they've built up their hand with more resources if they'd like to recover.... I should note that this also deals with stuff like Primeval Titan and Slippery Bogle so that's an additional bonus!

Moving forward, we have copies of Detention Sphere , Declaration in Stone and Nevermore for their respective removal functions. Are you starting to see a trend yet?

We have Telling Time to sift through resources and Lightning Helix for removal and lifegain to balance out the fact that this deck may get behind in aggro matchups.

For creatures we have some real gems :)

First, let me remind you all of our little friend Spell Queller . I hated this card with a PASSION when it was in standard but can happily say that I love using it here.

Next we have Aven Mindcensor , Vendilion Clique and Monastery Mentor in our 3-drop slot, all as 1-ofs. The deck can run any of these cards, or Young Pyromancer or Mantis Rider depending on what you want from the deck, how you want to pilot it and what your meta is like. These are all slots that are up to you. I am even still doing some testing myself so this may refine over time.

Lastly, we have Thought-Knot Seer and Reality Smasher at the top of our mana curve to help crush out games at the end. These are both great cards that are big and mean and pair well with our flying threats, Spell Queller , Aven Mindcensor and Vendilion Clique .

If you're looking to customize the deck I suggest you look at including the following - Reflector Mage , Young Pyromancer , Meddling Mage , or further spell or enchantment removal.

This list is just something I am creating now - it is not perfect and will likely refine/evolve. I just want to share it with you guys in case it's something you guys think looks cool and would like to play :)

If you like the idea please leave a +1 so the deck is more visible to other users on tapped out!

Thanks for stopping by!
