He is evil, menacing, and will destroy you in a staring contest... its Nicol Bolas!

This deck is not only fun, but will kill your opponent quickly and easily! This deck allows me to relive memories after my old standard deck Burned Esper Control left standard. This is also a tribute to that deck.

Suggestions are greatly welcomed and remember that this deck is still in its testing stages. But I have access to any resources and will try to add the card as quickly as possible. Once Born of the Gods releases the other scry lands, mana will be better.

If you guys are interested, I have developed a turn 5 win!

Turn 1- Land

Turn 2- Land

Turn 3- Land, Rakdos Keyrune

Turn 4- Land, Master of Cruelties

Turn 5- Land, some 4 mana or less spell to make the Master of Cruelties path clear, attack, Magma Jet their 1 mana life total.

I know there are many ways that this could go wrong, but it's still a turn 5 win con for a control deck.

MNM report and done with deck — Jan. 21, 2014

Edit

So, Monday night Magic was a bust. I went 2-2 but lost my first two matches because of mana.

Round 1 against Naya Midrange. It was something I have never seen before. At least this version of it. He beat me 2-0, since I had tremendous mana issues and saw 1 counterspell the whole match.

Round 2 against Esper humans. He won 2-0. If I saw one of my 3 Anger of the Gods he would have ran out of gas and I would have won. Also if I drew red mana.

Round 3 I was sick of the deck so he gave me the win and we played modern instead. Just as a sidenote, he won 3-2 in the modern match. It was a mirror elf deck.

Round 4 I won 2-0. I had no mana problems and im supposed to beat Mono Black.

So, im pretty much done with this deck. I would still love input because this had to of been one of my favorite deck. Lets focus it around mana though.
