Deck Description

This Azorius Control (previously Standard) deck was popular around the time when "Return to Ravnica" was out.

This deck behaves like a typical control deck in that it:
- plays a land and then passes the turn
- counters spells in the opponents turn
- plays both spot removal and board wipes
- Exiles threats / removes attackers during combat...
- And then at some point, stabilises and makes a massive comback with lots of card draw and big threats that the opponent can't deal with.
- Sphinx's revelation helps you get a load of life back, as well as draw a fresh new hand of cards!

The late game finishers are:
- Elspeth, Sun's Champion (make an army of 1/1's that later become 3/3 flyers)
- Aetherling (unblockable, evasive, 8/1 for the win!)
- Celestial Colonnade

Reshuffle your graveyard into your deck with the "Elixir of Immortality" to stop Mill Win conditions and to restock your library with utility cards.
