A control deck that doesn't use blue! Gasp! I do miss Snapcaster Mage though...

Anyway, this build is more for kill control than anything else. Oblivion Ring any noncreatures, and just smoke any creatures that do make it to the field. Get your big guns out when they need to be there, with Chandra, the Firebrand helping to give you double chump blocks with Lingering Souls. Bloodgift Demon gives you some card draw to help with the lack of blue, and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite is in there as a one-of just to pull out as an alternate win con.

Well, post rotation this deck is looking significantly weaker. leaning more towards a Rakdos control shell. That doesn't mean it'll be bad, but it has to definitely adapt. Sorin goes in for Gideon, Terminus for Days, etc.

FNM 1: Went 3-1! Did pretty well overall during the night - most of my advantage came from my wide range of removal options, and the fact that the deck has a weird kind of synergy despite its colors that people find hard to sideboard against. Delver deck squashed me in the end, mainly due to Restoration Angel flashing in and avoiding my Sorcery removals.

+Round 1: 2-1 vs. Turbo Fog

+Round 2: 2-1 vs. Pump Infect

+Round 3: 2-0 vs. Red/Green Aggro

+Round 4: 0-2 vs. Delver

+Changes: Sideboard: -3 Sever the Bloodline, -2 Timely Reinforcements, +3 Death Wind, +2 Combust

FNM 2: Went 4-0!!! Deck did VERY well this time around, mostly due to sideboard changes from FNM 1. Death Wind gave me Instant removal options that I desperately needed. I'm really happy with the way the deck worked out - not sure how I can improve it!

+Round 1: 2-0 vs. White Humans

+Round 2: 2-1 vs. Black/Green Zombie Pod

+Round 3: 2-0 vs. Red/Black Vampires

+Round 4: 2-0 vs. Black/Blue Heartless Summoning

+Changes: None!

FNM 3: 4-0 again! A little bit tougher time getting there this time, but I faced down a lot of deck types I hadn't before, which was great. I have considered B/W tokens to be my hardest matchup, so I was relieved to be able to squeeze a win out of that one.

+Round 1: 2-0 vs. Green/Black Morbid

+Round 2: 2-1 vs. Black/White Tokens

+Round 3: 2-1 vs. Naya Humans

+Round 4: 2-0 vs. Blue/White Control

+Changes: None!
