Instant (1)


American Control with Geist of Saint Traft as the finisher!

uses instants to control the pace of the game and slow the opponent down. Any suggestions would be helpful! I don't currently own any Snapcaster Mage, he would be a great add if I could afford a playset right now.

CARD DESCRIPTIONS:

CREATURES:

Spell Queller - a pain to play against. can suspend any card cast by my opponent and can disrupt anything they attempt to do. Downside is they can cast it without any cost once it leaves, but if played correctly then they could lose advantage.

Delver of Secrets   - my favorite blue card and with all the instants/sorceries that play, its value can't go unnoticed.

Geist of Saint Traft - What can I say about this card. 6 damage for 3 mana. the angel is flying so thats very difficult to block. Geist has hexproof as well so its very difficult to get rid of. With the amount of control this deck has, Geist should have minimal issues getting in a clean atk. He is the OG.

Thundermaw Hellkite - my Ace, a finisher, and favorite card of all time.

SORCERY:

Serum Visions - Deck Thinner and alters my draws for land fixing, or for Delver's transformation, All for 1 Blue!!

INSTANTS:

Remand - counters any spell and replaces itself by drawing!

Lightning Bolt - one of the best removals in modern. or burn for the final couple points in late game.

Electrolyze - very effecient. Can potentially 2 for 1 and replaces itself after use!

Lightning Helix - my favorite instant in the deck. The removal of Lightning Bolt but for an extra W it replentishes your life by 3.

Secure the Wastes - late game can be huge, with 24 lands can get you some board presence when in a bind.

Path to Exile - Indestructible creatures arent a problem for this deck. This card removes it completely from the game for a cheap cost of one White. Downside is it gives your opponent a tapped basic land but removing a threat outweighs this issue.

Cryptic Command - those who run into it know what it does. gotta include arguably the most powerful/versatile counter in the game.

Sphinx's Revelation - A hand replentisher and life replentisher. A great addition.

Suggestions

Updates Add

I've put down this deck for a while and recently decided to sell off some of my collection to buy the lands to put this back together. I have updated it to include a few gems that the recent sets have given us.

Spell Queller is an outstanding addition due to its evasiveness and ability to protest Geist from other creatures and even counterspells if necessary.

Secure the Wastes is a wincon. easy board presence and can be huge late game.
