Colorado Burn Control 2.0

Standard*

Sideboard


alt text

I wanted to put a twist on an American control deck so I made a Colorado control deck. The colors of the deck match the flag and I live in Colorado so I had to try it.

This deck's purpose is to control the game as much as possible until I can win the game. The win cons are burn, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Stormbreath Dragon, Prognostic Sphinx , and Keranos, God of Storms. I have Spellheart Chimera in the sideboard so I can sideboard them in as another win con if I need one.

Keranos, God of Storms -- A strong card that can allow me to gain card advantage or burn my opponent.

Dissipate , Dissolve, Stymied Hopes -- Counterspells that are used to stop my opponents threats, pretty self explanatory. Stymied Hopes I will only use when my opponents tap out for a spell, the other two can be used whenever.

Banishing Light, Devouring Light, Perilous Vault -- Removal and board wipe that help me control the game. I like having Perilous vault out because it creates pressure that opponents have to deal with which causes them to keep their bombs in their hand.

Void Snare -- Used as temporary removal and sometimes to bounce my creatures from removal.

Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Jace, the Living Guildpact -- Very strong planeswalkers that help control the game. Elspeth, Sun's Champion is a win con on her own and Jace, the Living Guildpact helps smooth out my draws.

Font of Fortunes , Jace's Ingenuity -- Draw spells that give me card advantage.

Lightning Strike , Magma Jet -- Burn spells that can be used as removal or to finish of my opponent. Magma Jet is also nice because of its scry.

[[Prognostic Sphinx -- A strong flying, scrying 3/5 that can be given hexproof. it can sometimes finish of games by attacking, but it also helps me scry into my win cons.

Resolute Archangel -- Can turn the game around after a rough early game and is a flyer that can finish a game of by attacking.

Stormbreath Dragon -- Very strong flyer that can finish a game off quickly, especially after it becomes a 7/7.
