What's more fun than bouncing a card into your opponents hand? Killing it really fast and making big explosion noises. That and saying 'Aurelia. Gideon becomes a creature. Swing 8, Swing 8?'

Please note: This deck is played as a CONTROL deck, not as a Beatdown. Burn spells are only used directly on the player when they are in kill-range. Only time this changes is when facing a 'true' UW control deck, at which point you must play Beatdown.

• WIN CONDITIONS

Flame-Wreathed Phoenix Excellent deterrent, forces opponent on to back foot with either a 5/5 or a recurring 3/3.

Aurelia, the Warleader does massive work, especially with other angels on the field. Even alone, if you've been burning properly, she's swinging 6 a turn.

Archangel of Thune is a ton of fun to play and hear the groans. She can do work if left to her devices, but otherwise often soaks a removal for the other creatures

Gideon, Champion of Justice is currently in as a secondary win-con and a distraction, but can easily take games as a 5/5 indestructible creature.

Chandra, Pyromaster mostly just gives card draw/cycle but under the right circumstances her Ultimate could also be used to great effect.

Elspeth, Sun's Champion is a pretty self explanatory threat

• SIDEBOARD

((Common outs are Fated Conflag, Revoke Exist or Archangel))

Glare of Heresy - In against anything with too many White creatures over 4 CMC, such as Selesnya, or against Chained to the Rocks and D Sphere.

Peak Eruption - In against anything running Red unless another sideboard item takes precedence. Love getting it early game against just about anything.

Assemble the Legion - In against other Control decks

Pithing Needle - F Planeswalkers and Aetherling

Skullcrack - In against lifegain decks, particularly Sphinx Rev.

Spear of Heliod - Removal on a stick for Ghost Council, D-Demon or other things that get out of reach for regular burn.

Fated Conflagration - In to deal with Planeswalkers, especially the new Ajani.

CURRENTLY NEED HELP WITH...

1) I'd like to fit in more Chained to the Rocks, but it only hits creatures unlike regular burn cards. I could swap out the 1-off shock if I pick up another Chained, but that might be another Searing Blood too.

2) I've replaced the 2 sideboard Pacifism for 2 Fated Conflags for the new Ajani and other planeswalkers, but i'd really prefer something else.

3) I want to get Boros Charms back in the main deck, trying to figure out how.

Thanks for reading, all comments and suggestions welcome!
