This is my first ever Standard Build that I have made from scratch with next to no influence. It is also my first time playing control competitively so i decided to build this. If I played U/B I would lose Anguished Unmaking, Sorin, Grim Nemesis, Dovin Baan along with some other things. W/B would lose Jace, Unraveler of Secrets, Torrential Gearhulk, and lots and lots of counter spells. Now I have the perfect blend of 8 counter spells and 16 removal spells to stop my opponent from playing Magic all together. Copy Cat gets out-countered/killed and we can normally stop G/B from getting too much of an advantage. The only bad match up might be B/R Zombies, which is why I have Descend upon the Sinful in the SB, but I'm not expecting the standard Dredge deck too much in my meta. If you have any suggestions please leave a comment and tell me what you would like to switch out. Also, show me your ideas for what you are going to play at game night so we can converse here.
