Deck Description

I opened a box of Journey into Nyx and pulled 2 Keranos, so I wanted to try and make a deck around him. I am not a big control player, but I am learning. This deck is with cards I already own. It would benefit more with another Elspeth and D-spears. But for now, it works until I get those cards.

This deck does work and does pretty well against other control decks. One thing you have over UW is Counterflux and other ways to put damage on them. Hang on to a Counterflux, especially when putting down Elspeth or Aetherling.

Against aggro, you want to sideboard in Frostburns or a mix with the Rams. Anger of the Gods and Mizziums are your board wipes against the weenies.

To many control decks rely to much on Sphinx's Revelation and Supreme Verdict. I wanted to avoid that avenue, even if those cards ares are ridiculously good!

How to Play

Be patient!! Very hard thing to do, even for me. Play like they are going to counter everything you do. Have answers waiting for them like dissolve, counterflux, izzet charm, syncopate, ect.. Play defensive until you can get your big guns out.

Keranos, Jace, and Divination are going to be your card draw cards.

Magma Jet, Prognostic Sphinx, and Dissolve are going to be your main scry sources to get the cards you need. Magma Jet on THEIR end step. Get the cards you need!!!
