Flight Control

Been working on a deck to help counter my local FNM, which is full of control and reanimator decks. A few people went so heavy on control that they don't even have a noticeable win condition. The decks I'm more worried about have cards like Thragtusk , Geralf's Messenger , Obzedat, Ghost Council , Mutilate , Unburial Rites , Disciple of Bolas , etc.

Any suggestions on how to counter or build around those types of cards are welcome.

Turn / Burn is amazing against reanimator. It doesn't let them get the token from Thragtusk doesnt let them get their dudes back from Angel of Serenity Geralf's Messenger doesn't get it's undying trigger you can also use to stop obzedat from leaving play if you want

I pre-ordered a box of DGM so hopefully I'll get 3+ Turn / Burn . I do love it. Good combo with Pillar of Flame to save mana and exile the creature.

Searing Spear is also very good.
