Deck discussion for izzet ping/control

if you are going for a control aspect, where r u counterspells:

Dissipate
Counterflux
Negate
Essence Scatter
Dispel

There are many other counterspells in standard to but a couple of them have drawbacks, Goblin Ectromancer is a nice 2 drop that makes Instants and Sorceries one cost cheaper per Goblin, also 2 less bonfires, if you have a 4 of, your more likely to hit one in opening hand and in the first 5 turns, which is when u least want one.

It almost appears that rather than being a control deck that you are trying to be a burn deck, and in that case, drop the keyrunes for Thunderous Wrath, its a supershock when Miracled, drop Blistercoil Weird for Guttersnipe and Index for Mizzium Mortars.

Hope this helped

Dont get me wrong, burn is just as cool and being red/blue, burn is very pliable with splash control to make sure u burn em out

Nice...I've got similar deck, but I my wc is Stalker with Pike...I agree with Rickell, you should have play more counterspells, Syncopate is good. If you can, check my deck... http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=390881
