My First Try at a Control Deck
Deck Help forum

Hey all, this (Red White and You) is my first crack at a control deck. Give it a look over and feel free to make suggestions.
I play with friends kitchen table style, and we're all just picking up the game. All Magic cards are legal.
Currently I aim to keep the board clear until I can bust out Chandra, the Firebrand and copy Banefire to do a massive amount of damage, or get AEtherling out to be my finisher. His ability to get out of the way for Wrath of God or Supreme Verdict is also much appreciated.
Oblivion Ring helps me deal with plainswalkers and artifacts. It can also help with a nasty enchanted creature.
Anyway, this deck keeps stalling out sometimes. I've been thinking of maybe replacing a card or two with Sphinx's Revelation and or Lightning Helix.
Advice, links to similar decks, and suggestions for swaps are all very much appreciated!

Yeah Firemantle_Mage, I've got two in the deck currently. Use Delver of Secrets Flip to give me an edge in the early game, or help me block during mid.

You can also try Crystalline Nautilus it's more on the offense but you can really use it. Sorry if I don't have much suggestions. lol

I wrote a massive pooper in your deck's comment section. Have fun.

I'm not really a control guy but I do know Delver of Secrets Flip is great for control.
