Cruel Control, focused on heavy use of counters and removal spells. I might be on the heavy side with 8 counter spells but it seems to be working and I hate Sorcery spells - Playing anything in my turn really eeks me. I normally resolve my Planeswalkers and creatures only if it is safe and I have mana leftover for counter magic to protect my investment. Which normaly is not a problem for me, I can drag out a game for a long time.

If I feel it is unsafe I just mill or forge my hand with lands at the end of their turn.

I would love more snapcasters but they are expensive and having too many i recon is not optimal ether?

Any suggestions are welcome
