Dissolve = Spell Shrivel

This is my own brew that is the next step from my current R/U control list, so please let me know what you think. Please +1 if ya liked it.

Lands:

7 fetchs - help thin the deck and pull what i need also while filling up the delve pile.

2 life lands - these are currently being tested because my U/R control list ran 8 but 2 has clearly not done a whole lot. they would be replaced with one scry and one more basic.

8 Basics - fetch targets, and im currently toying with the correct number here because of double casting cost cards

1 Urborg - its urborg, enough said.

9 scry lands - i ran 12 in theros standard for control but im not quit sure thats the correct number for the heavy aggro standard we are in.

Instants:

4 Dig Through Time - best card draw in the format.

4 Dissolve - best counter in the format along with added scry

3 Hero's Downfall - Best multiform removal

3 Lightning Strike - early game threat removal along with burn option

3 Mindswipe - counter, win con, fireball. mindswipe is a waiting game when it comes to knowing when the appropriate time to hit heavy is or just straight up counter.

Sorcery's:

2 Anger of the Gods - small aggro board wipe

2 Despise - hand disruption without the shock

2 Thoughtseize - better hand disruption

Planeswalkers:

3 Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver - Nothing is better than stealing your opponents Sylvan Caryatid , Siege Rhino, or Courser of Kruphix. and if nothing else you can take out threats from their deck.

2 Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker - he has creature removal, and can deal and instant four

Creatures:

2 Keranos, God of Storms - toying with this number because sometimes one isnt enough and 2 is just too many

3 Stormbreath Dragon - pro white, haste, and the new black board wipe will work pretty well with it.

Sideboard:

this was mainly a meta choice for myself, and obvious options i missed please point out!
