This deck aims to stall out the game until I can win with Keranos, God of Storms, Cruel Ultimatum, Lavaclaw Reaches or Batterskull.
!!SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED!!
(INSTANTS)
Counterflux - A hard counter that is best against other control mirrors, and dominates storm.
Mana Leak - A great all-around counterspell that works best in the early turns of the game.
Remand - The definition of tempo, slows down your opponent and gives you a draw all for two mana.
Spell Snare
- Counters many powerful spells in the format.
Electolyze - Value and tempo
Lightning Bolt - An automatic 4-of in any red deck, the best burn spell in the format
Terminate - Low cost creature removal that can get past cards like Thrun, the Last Troll
Think Twice - A good draw spell that can be reused later in the game.
Spell Pierce - Good against the control mirror, and most combo decks
Thought Scour - A good draw spell that can be used to fuel cards like Tasigur, the Golden Fang, Murderous Cut and Logic Knot
Murderous Cut - Usually a one-mana kill spell with all the cards in our graveyard
(PLANESWALKERS)
Jace, Architect of Thought - Provides protection for himself and a good draw engine.
(SORCERIES)
Crux of Fate - A good board wipe, upgrading to Damnation when I can
Anger of the Gods - A cheap board wipe that can take care of many creatures
Inquizition of Kozilek - Simple discard spells, hand disruption
Cruel Ultimatum - The basis of this deck, it is basically a better Sphinx's Revelation
(CREATURES)
Keranos, God of Storms - One of the wincons in this deck, provides draw and damage.
Taisugur, the Golden Fang - A great blocker, and can help with some spell recursion.
Batterskull - A great finisher, helps gain some life back
OUT OF BUDGET:
These are all cards that are too expensive for me right now, but I will try to acquire in the future. Please check this before suggesting any of these cards. Thanks!
