Deck Description

I made this deck on paper with a few changes and I would like to know what you think. As soon as Anger of the Gods comes out I will be removing the Breaking Point for it. Tell me what you think

How to Play

The point of the deck is burn control. With the win con being guttersnipe and the burn spells. I added a lot of draw to gain the card advantage needed to make this deck run smoothly. I did play this at a tournament and got second place. I lost to a creature agro deck.

Looks like a fun deck! I love Guttersnipe. That said, at a glance I feel that you're just going to be stalling and slowing down the opponent the whole game, which isn't necessarily what you want to be doing. You've got a done of direct damage, removal, and counterspells, which is bound to be frustrating for your opponent, but all of this is really just delaying them. Without any creatures, it's a lot harder for you to dominate the board state, and you'll have to allocate most of your damage just to keeping your opponent's creatures at bay. What I'm trying to say is that the deck needs some teeth. One solution to that would be to find some creatures which fit your archetype. You might consider adding Gelectrode, or any other creature with abilities that trigger when you cast an instant or sorcery. Isochron Scepter is golden here. The main point is to get more power on the battlefield, cards that allow you to maintain a position of dominance. Just my two cents.

Thanks for your input. When I played the deck I had issues with aggro creature decks. Im thinking maybe Goblin Guide would be a good choice.

Yes, Goblin Guide is great for competing with aggro decks!
