Black/Red control deck, meant to use kill spells to keep enemy power down while pinging in slowly. Apostle's Blessings are included to counter opponent bounce/kill spells. Has white sideboard to disrupt Enchantment-based combos before they can go off.

Has several cards revolving around robbing the opponent of their options. Surgical Extraction allows me to remove any "answers" from the game after they were used once, while Slaughter Games lets me get rid of them before they're even used.

Might not be the most generically optimal deck out there, but it was built for a league I'm playing in, and as such is built specifically with that in mind.
