WBR Control for Theros Standard (Configured to be Anti-RDW)

-I confirgured this deck to beat the standard RDW without the need of a sideboard. Shock, Fiendslayer Paladin, Anger of the Gods, and Warleader's Helix together will beat any RDW anyday of the week (Mana Screw/Flood aside).

-Play Thoughseize smart. Sometimes, taking a Desecration Demon isn't always the smart move. This deck has good draws, and thanks to Read the Bones, you are almost guranteed to get the card you need by turn 5 or 6 and Warleader's Helix will help get you to turn 7.

-Update - The following are some win conditions for the deck:~Obzedat, Ghost Council and Whip of Erebos~Elspeth, Sun's Champion in the late game tears apart decks since your main creatures can withstand her -3.~Anger of the Gods plus Boros Reckoner~Sire Of Insanity in the late game is brutal and usually unexpected.

-Update - I took out the Hero's Downfall from the sideboard and put in another Slaughter Games. I will test this configuration this weekend.

-SIDEBOARDING-

-Selesnya will be your toughest match up that you can actually win (This deck can't handle Blue Devotion very well).

Take out 3 Shock, 4 Fiendslayer Paladin, 1 Devour Flesh, 2 Read the Bones and put in Glare of Heresy, Lifebane Zombie, Ratchet Bomb, and Sin Collector.

Watch out for Advent of the Wurm at the end of your turn 4. If you're lucky you will have a Ratchet Bomb or a Hero's Downfall ready for it.

-Gruul

Take out Shock and add in Lifebane Zombie

-WUB Control

Take out Shock, Lightning Strike, Devour Flesh, Chained to the Rocks, and Anger of the Gods. Add in Slaughter Games, Glare of Heresy, Pithing Needle, and Sin Collector. If you are lucky, you can Slaughter Games their AEtherling and sit back and watch them look for a wincon.

-Blue Devotion (25% chance of winning)

Takeout Lightning Strike, and Shock (Damn you Master of Waves!!!). Add in Slaughter Games and Ratchet Bomb.

-Weenie White

Take out Thoughtseize, Chained to the Rocks, Devour Flesh. Add in Glare of Heresy and Lifebane Zombie

-Mana Ramp

Take out Fiendslayer Paladin and add in Lifebane Zombie. Burn the Elvish Mystics and sylvan caryatids if you know whats good for you :P

-Black Devotion (No sweat)

Take out Shock and add in Slaughter Games. Watch out for Desecration Demon, hes your biggest threat. pack rats shouldn't be a problem since there's some burn in the deck, but if you are worried about them you can put in Ratchet Bomb.
