Modern UW control. This deck takes elements of aggro, control, tempo, and midrange all into one neat little package.

STRATEGY: The basic idea is to get an Angelic Destiny on a Geist of Saint Traft for the win. Worship keeps me alive almost indefinitely, coupled with hexproof creatures and Celestial Colonnade.

CARDS EXPLAINED: Serum Visions is card advantage to get to where I need to be quicker. Remand is counter/stall magic (along with card advantage). Snapcaster Mage for even more card advantage and/or stall by recasting Serum Visions, Remand, Negate, or even Cryptic Command. Invisible Stalker is a back-up Geist of Saint Traft and/or a dork for Worship trigger :)

SIDEBOARD: More Cavern of Souls for a countermagic matchup, completing the playset. Mirran Crusader was originally in maindeck, but replaced it, because of its easy removal with red cards like Lightning Bolt, so now it's in the side to give black/green matchups a hard time. Nevermore has a wide versatility, but it's here mostly for Ad nauseam. Rest in Peace for any matchup that has to do with the graveyard, such as Eggs or Storm. Terminus for aggro and mostly because I just needed to fill the last sideboard slot.

Happily accepting all thoughts, suggestions, and comments. I need them, because I've been out of the scene for a couple years and trying to put this beast back together, so please speak up!

I also really need a better sideboard. Meta at my LGS seems to be Storm, American Delver, Aggro, Tron, Eggs, and Ad nauseam. I know my sideboard is crap, so please help! Thanks.
