Rotation deck ideas

I run a UB control with heavy creature hate. I'm considering adding an additional color but I'm torn between red and white. Don't want to make anything close to solar flare but looking for good opinions and ideas. Let me know what you think

if you're running control and want a 3rd color, I would probably go with white simply for Oblivion Ring it does what UB control cant, and that's burn perms that are already on the field.

@ Martymo

there is plenty of burn for u/b. Doom Blade , Go for the Throat , card:Black Sun's Zenith just to name a few. not to mention you can roll out some artifacts like Phyrexian Revoker and Ratchet Bomb

obviously I wasn't talking about creature hate, you only have to be playing magic for about 1 day to know that there are plenty of black spells for that.

Ratchet Bomb is extremely slow, but effective if you can afford to wait to tap/proliferate it up to what ever you need it to be. If he wants to kill off a titan that's 6 turns that it has to stay alive on the field without proliferation. Where as O-ring does it instantly.

Phyrexian Revoker is cool I guess, but you have to know before hand what they are playing, and it doesn't block everything, just activated abilities.

If you don't want anything near Solar flare then stay away from white and go with red. Use Slagstorm , Snapcaster Mage , card:Devil's Play to just name a few. Cut back on creatures, use maybe 1 Grave Titan and a Wurmcoil Engine and even a Balefire Dragon for awesomeness and control the game with field wipes and counterspells.

This is what I was using

I'm looking for cards to replace the ones that rotated out. 13 cards total and 3 MUST be lands. looking to keep the mana curve the same.

@Karnage

I thought about using red just for the Balefire Dragon . perfect for wiping the board.

No matter what color I use, I want the land to include blue to even out the mana curve
