Sideboard


Burn Control prototype deck, the plan is to control the field with counter- and bounce-cards with frost lynx to tap put critters, dropping a Generator Servant as a battery for turn 4, gently nicking the opponent with direct damage cards while at it. When opponent brings out an interesting enough fatty, steal/clone it with hastened Felhide Spiritbinder by turn 5 and turn the tables. Or clone own creature to bring the pain. Initially thought of splashing black in order to play Devour Flesh or some other "sacrifice a creature" card.

It should be able to hold its own against mid range & monsters decks, had an interesting experience against Kiora, the Crashing Wave's ultimate, but unsure how performance will fare against aggro and other meta decks. Thinking of maybe sideboarding Anger of the Gods or some other industrial strength battlefield wiper.

Card draw is one thing I'm worried about, as this deck goes through cards fairly quickly in the early turns (also worried about discard decks). Could put in Divination but not sure if it's efficient enough.

Critiques most welcome!

27/07/14: Play tested against a Simic centaur zoo and a White Heroic. Given a decent draw, can manage to hold out for awhile but eventually lose out because not dishing out enough damage. Realized there's no finisher/bomb creature to build up to and finish the game. Considering putting in some bigger creatures:Stormbreath Dragon , Hypersonic Dragon , Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius (good for card advantage but can't duplicate since legendary rule), or Molten Primordial .
