This is a deck I have been working on for the past few weeks. It focuses on spot removal in terms of bounce and burn to get though to turn four where verdicts become a threat. Then Jace and Ral usually make an appearance and help draw damage until I can start dropping sphinx's for large numbers or get AEtherling out with enough mana to protect him. More often than not I don't need Assemble the Legion to pull through although it has won me a game or two.

My worst matchups so far have been against other control decks especially esper. Haven't figured out how to get past them yet.

Right now I'm looking for feedback from people who run U/W/R or have played against it and have found ways to improve its flow. With the popularity of Junk decks in standard I included some graveyard hate in the sideboard to neutralize that threat. I'm not a fan of rest in peace as it lacks the surprise of a Purify the grave and allows for too much planning.

All feedback is appreciated, Thanks.
