I've been consistantly losing against an older elf deck for a while now. Ive come closest to wining with a control centered izzet deck. I found it was high time to throw in some burn. And burn it did. I burned down all his One Dozen Eyes and 1/2 and 1/1 elves. I proceeded to then copy his sole source of excess mana to then play my hand. After that my friend used my personal sliver deck. He was 5-0 until he faced this. Ended up going 1-2 versus this. The win conditions are an early blaze commando followed by spells and a teleportal, Nicol Bolas or stolen identity with nivix cyclops or hypersonic dragon. This deck is a token driven control deck. It also has elements of aggro.
