I want swamps back in my control deck. Jeskai offers a ton of security against aggro, but the removal can be extremely awkward. So I'm attempting to use the Jeskai formula to smuggle black back into control. Having smooth answers to planeswalkers and artifacts is really nice, considering how deadly they can be for the control player, and having additional card draw at instant speed is a nice bonus. Besides, I get to play my favorite planeswalker! I like the look so far, and I'll be able to do a bit more testing over the weekend, but please let me know what you think!
