Competitive modern brew. It's loosely based on the old Solar Flare list from Kamigawa, and uses Sun Titan to bring back removal cards, utility, and ultimately win the game. Controls the board early with a suite of removal, including Wrath of God to avoid being blown out too early. Late game Phantasmal Image to copy Sun Titan, Kokusho, the Evening Star, or whatever your opponent may have that's valuable. Phantasmal Image is worth playing due to synergy with Sun Titan, copying an early Tarmogoyf, and since most spells that say target also say destroy, its illusion "downside" is rarely a problem.
