Welcome to my take on Jeskai (American) Control! The Roosevelt Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine, in which, The USA stated that they wanted Europe to stay out of the Western Hemisphere. This led to them policing the hemisphere, controlling less powerful nations, and wresting control from Europe.

Per Wikipedia: "Roosevelt stated that in keeping with the Monroe Doctrine, the United States was justified in exercising "international police power" to put an end to chronic unrest or wrongdoing in the Western Hemisphere."

Much like the imperialistic USA of the past, my deck wants to control the game through a mixture of simply saying no and lighting the world ablaze. These colors don't run.

Keranos, God of Storms, Mantis Rider and Prognostic Sphinx are my main win conditions. I essentially work to keep the board clear with counters, Anger of the Gods, End Hostilities, and various burn until one of my threats can take the game over.

Any and all suggestions are welcome and encouraged!
