Pilot this Jeskai control deck alongside the JesGuys, Ral, Izzet Viceroy and Teferi, Hero of Dominaria in an epic quest to deck yourself out before your opponent can manage to kill you. Seriously, my winrate substantially suffers from my pathological need to draw my entire deck whenever I am presented with the opportunity. I don't even care if I lose, it feels glorious.

This is basically the best control deck in standard right now (not this specific list but Jeskai Control in general) and this is, I believe, a pretty standard list for the archetype. As such, this is a pretty damn strong deck, and I'm not joking when I say I actually deck myself out with a fair degree of consistency, though I personally wouldn't recommend it. You do lose the game after all ;P But, that said, basically this deck will almost always win provided you can survive to hit your late game and don't get absolutely skimped on drawing wincons. You can come back from any life lead, just always always ALWAYS keep a counterspell up. If you don't have enough mana for a threat and counter, wait for more mana. Waiting is never a bad idea with this deck, as long as you can do it safely.

Building on MTG Arena (hence no sideboard), will update as I improve the deck. All suggestions/comments/ideas very welcome!
