Deck discussion for Red/Blue Control

Great deck, Shrine of Burning Rage FTW XD. My two cents is this: Don't run 4 Thrummingbirds, you need to draw a Shrine before they are effective anyway so I would add cards that are more consistent in more situations. Also, Volcanic Dragon in standard is just plainly not good enough for its cost, especially in a control deck. You won't want to play that unless you can have atleast 2 mana open for a Leak threat. I would take out 1 or 2 Thrummingbirds, the Dragons, and add 3-4 Chandra's Phoenix's or Slagstorm's (whatever your more worried about, extra damage and a blocker or board clear/possible finishing burn).

Well, your deck was the inspiration for mine! The reason i didnt put the Phoenix's in is the price. Although i know they're the best card for the job, they're pricey, and i try to keep my decks limited to what is available to me at the time i make them. I see your point with the Thrummingbirds, i only put 4 in through fear of them getting taken out in one swoop by sorcery and instants (as you said with the souleaters). I think that the Trespassing Souleater is a decent substitute for Chandra's Phoenix, what do you think?

Thanks for the help :)
