Concept

Alright, So basically this deck is all about frustrating your opponent by bouncing their creatures, in turn creating an opening for your own whilst burning them in the background. Now, allow me to explain my methods.

Methods and Explanations

Basically, this deck is pretty simple, and can be quite powerful. It's mainly bouncing and burning. Keep your opponents creatures at bay to buy time, and force them to spend more mana next turn preventing them from doing much else. In the meantime, your few creatures will hit hard and unexpectedly and your burning will only be a bonus in damaging your opponent and their creatures. All around just annoying your opponent.

Creatures

The creatures in this deck are few, but powerful. To start, you have your defense creatures, Murmuring Phantasm and Wall of Frost just to keep your opponent even further at bay. Pharagax Giant is really just a bonus in annoying your opponent. He could easily be substituted for something else though, if you wished. Though your main source of creature power will come from Spellheart Chimera and Stormchaser Chimera. I don't really need to explain why.

Of course, I can't forget the big guys of the deck, Keranos, God of Storms and Ral Zarek Both straight forward. Keranos is simply to keep the burns going and to keep drawing your spells. Either way, you keep an upper hand. Unfortunately, your opponent has a slight advantage as well. As for Ral, he assists with keeping your opponent at bay, more burning and his -7 will give you an incredible advantage.

Spells

It goes without saying that the spells are the bread and butter of this deck. It IS a U/R deck after all. Anyways, like i've said, bounces and burns. Keep your opponent from doing much of anything and force them to spend more mana next turn. The ace up your sleeve is going to be your one artifact, Sphinx-Bone Wand. A very powerful card in a deck such as this and will do a lot for you if you get it early and can guarantee a swift victory. Quite laughable, really. Geistblast is a card I wish I had more than one of for it is a very nice surprise for your opponent. If you have the mana, it can easily ruin your opponents plans. Either bounce another creature or burn more. A very nice card to have.

Summary

That's really it. A very simple, yet powerful deck. I definitely recommend the style. Really makes your opponent think. Even then, there is't much they can do. The only real counter to this deck is an abundance of numbers or counter cards.
