Solar flare

Obviously, Solar Flare has long since existed. In fact, this is basically classified as 4C Gifts control. I am a huge fan of the original Solar Flare deck, this modern version of gifts is similar to solar flare because the concept and play style both reflect the essence of what Solar flare was. This version is much less top heavy, and much more versatile with gifts at its helm.

Here is a full rework with the new fetches thrown in. I am not sure if windswept are the most optimal in here just yet but we shall see. Considering a 2/2 split with Flooded Strand and Windswept Heath.

So, obviously Gifts Ungiven is the center piece. This deck is all sorts of utility. Has potential to be an early aggressor, slow grinder, and full of hate. The down side tends to be the mana, you want to cast everything as early as you can just like any magic deck, but this deck can really capitalize on mana efficiency more than others. I have seen some version use Sylvan Caryatid and Knight of the Reliquary, which could be a thing in here.

So again, to re-emphasize, you either eat up their hand and hit them in the face with a snap caster, double entomb into reanimate, or deny them till you have grinded their health down with tokens or over powered them with a powerful weapon.

Each card has a purpose, and likely combos with something else, so consider that when making a suggestion. Thanks :3
