"Ahhh, there's nothing like a bit of pain and suffering in the morning."

This is my take on cruel control, a slightly budget version compared to many other CC decks out there.

The inspiration of this deck is the insane Cruel Ultimatum, when this hits the board there is almost no coming back from it, it can shift the tide of battle in an instant. The name of the game is to control the board through counters and kill spells like the amazing Terminate. Mogis, God of Slaughter and Keranos, God of Storms are there to keep constant pressure on the opponent, and they will have a very hard time trying to remove them. Thing in the Ice   is a good blocker that survives Anger of the Gods and flips very easily in this deck, sending any creatures not already dead back to the opponents hand. The big bomb in the deck is the big baddie himself, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. He will decimate the opponent and take any big threats they have. His ultimate is so satisfying to get off, because you're opponent will know there is no hope of survival.

This deck is still a work in progress but I hope to make it viable with everyone's help!

Thanks for checking it out and any feedback would be very appreciated!
