My first ever control deck. I love black and I love blue, but don't want to fall into the Azorius plus (colour) trap so many seem to be.

Feedback welcome!

My win-cons atm are my Aetherling (obivously), Stormbreath Dragon and Lazav, with alternate win conditions being Rakdos's Return for some large amount late game, with a few direct hit lightning strikes and Magma jets to poke them down over the course of a game.

For my sideboard, I am kind of restricted by money, so another Stormbreath Dragon for my sideboard is preferable, but unlikely. I'll be keeping in the Dark Betrayals to sub in for mono-black, with Anger of the Gods and Volcanic Geyser for any board-flood decks.

EDIT: I took out the Ultimate Price's for more Anger of the Gods, for board clear. I also, to balance the numbers, introduced 2 Turn // Burn's, keeping the number at 15.
