Win condition?

I finally got one! Colossus of Akros , a janky card that I've loved ever since I laid eyes on the bugger. I'm running 4. "Why 4?" you may ask. To which I answer "LORD BOLAS DOES NOT TOLERATE WEAKNESS" and swing at you with a 20/20 indestructible creature. That said, the secondary win condition of AEtherling should be boarded in since Slaughter Games is still a thing.

THINGS THIS DECK IS GOOD AT

Controlling the board state and ensuring a decent curve into the Colossus of Akros . Between Far / Away and Hero's Downfall, creatures are rarely a problem. Counterflux proves it's usefulness time and time again as other control decks are powerless against it. Dreadbore gets rid of those pesky planeswalkers that do not serve our lord and master, as does Hero's Downfall. All of this build up into one hefty mana investment in the form of the 4x Colossus of Akros that come to rain misery upon my foes.

THINGS THIS DECK IS AWFUL AT

Other control decks, usually ones running a lot more counters.

Thoughts? I'm planning on running this at FNM stuff when I get the chance.
