I built this control deck for a modern two headed giant tournament I'm attending soon. For the most part this deck has no win conditions, that is because my teammate and I are playing a strategy where he plays a deck built to win, and I play a deck not to lose. I built this deck around counterspells, removal, and a little bit of life gain and creature protection.

COUNTER SPELLS

Mana Leak great counter that most of the time is a 2 mana hard counter

Disdainful Stroke counter target spell you care about

Cancel hard counter

REMOVAL

Despise and Duress are both pseudo counter/kill spells

Devour Flesh kills big indestructible things after the rest of their board has been wiped

Unmake 3 mana exile spell? yes please!

Doom Blade 2 mana kill spell? Boo-Yah!

Path to Exile 1 mana exile spell? it hits indestructible things? ONE GODDAM MANA?!? HELL YES!!!

Supreme Verdict 4 mana wrath, at possibly instant speed with quicken, and possibly one sided with Rootborn Defenses is super sweet

LIFEGAIN/CREATURE PROTECTION

Ajani Steadfast Primarily used to buff creatures and his ult is great

both sorins are great for both buffing creatures, putting creatures on the board and there ults are also awesome.

daxos of melitis is a nice way to gain life as well as having the upside of being able to sometimes play their cards.

Rootborn Defenses protects my things from supreme verdict and also from attacks
