new set —Sept. 4, 2014

Because my old deck went out of standard, I decided to create a new deck that would still have control and burn

Steam Augury : Bad. Just bad.I would rather do Epic Experiment in the mainboard.Your deck dies to aggro. You need a low cost field wipe.Also you may want to consider taking out the Young Pyromancer for 4x Omenspeaker because the scry trigger is wonderful. Plus Pyromancer dies to almost anything.You need a field wipe of some sort. So Anger of the Gods should replace the cancels.I would consider trying to pick up a playset of Jace, Architect of Thought , as he is quite literally the best card in the format right now. +1 reads "Slow down aggros and buy time", -2 reads "Draw cards to get hand advantage", and -8 reads "take their best cards and put them on your field"

SUGGESTIONS:Mainboard: -4 Steam Augury , -4 Young Pyromancer , -4 Cancel +3 Anger of the Gods , +3 Omenspeaker , +3 Jace, Architect of Thought , +3 Mizzium Mortars

Sideboard:+3 Epic Experiment , +1 Mizzium Mortars

@GeneralFluffy: I'm Definitely taking the Omenspeaker for consideration and the Jace is better than Steam Augury ; but as for Mizzium Mortars , I think the card is too limited to creatures and I try to focus my deck on Instants'. Turn / Burn can take down any type of creature and can target players.

True true. I like Omenspeaker because it's a two drop that can protect you long enough for the control to really start.

I've actually seen Turn and Burn used to handle the Gods of Theros, and I like it. I'm a control player, and control decks are all I can really build successfully. First deck I ever built was Izzet control and burn. Kind of like this, but without the Jace.

If you'd like, check out my Grixis deck Grixis Control (FNM Ready)

I've been tweaking it for about a month now, and finally got around to put it up on tapped out. Let me know what you think. It finished 5th at my FNM yesterday.

+1 for control.

should put in some mass control either Mizzium Mortars or Anger the gods but the later would make guttersnipe and the pyromancer dead from the fallout but the other would be perfect to help the field late game
