What are some good match up against lantern control? My gf wants to build one. I want to build one that can keep up with it. How would izzet prowess fair against it?
Modern Humans is really strong with UWB cards: Thalia, Guardian of Thraben , Meddling Mage , Kambal, Consul of Allocation , It can race Lantern and lock it down..
Heliod life has a good game 1 and strong game 2. Any of the heliod walker variations.
I agree, Tron might make her hate you. Abzan might be good. Strong sideboard for game 2s.

In my experience, Burn is pretty solid against Lantern Control, so Izzet Prowess should be okay.
8-Rack also punishes decks with small hands, which is a goal for LC to maximize Ensnaring Bridge . It also has a lot of cheap redundant effects.
I've never won against Tron with Lantern Control. If you want to make your GF never touch the deck again, Karn, the Great Creator eats lanterns for breakfast and brushes his teeth with mill rocks.
Lantern Control is a pretty technical deck, and its biggest strength comes from predicting the opponent's deck. You can put together just about anything she's not familiar with and have a fighting chance.
