Deck Description

Legality:
Standard, built with cards from the blocks Khans of Tarkir (Khans of Tarkir, Fate Reforged and Dragons of Tarkir), Magic Origins and Battle for Zendikar.

Idea:
A friend came up with the basic version of this deck which I took and tried to improve (http://www.mtgvault.com/muktol/decks/rb-control/). After seeing that many of the key-cards where standard-legal I took it and tried to fit it into this legality.

Tests:
This deck exists only on this site and has never been played against another deck. Regardless I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

The basic idea of this deck is to take your opponents strongest creature, turn it against him and don't give it back.
There should be enough mind-control spells and also enough possible creatures/ spells to sacrifice the stolen creature into afterwards.

Did add 4 copies of him in the sideboard. After I had the time to do some test games (spare time...where can I buy it) I will give a report if he was needed or not.

Great ideal with this deck. I like playing control but won't be legal in standard for long but should have some upgrades when the new block drops

I haven't had time to look at the leaked cards from Shadows over Innistrad. But this is a deck I did built for a friend to animate him to go to the FNM and Gateway tournaments and play a little more, so I will try to keep this up to date.

Like a mid or lategame control deck with added sacrifice effects. If your opponent manages to bring out too many creatures to fast you're in trouble. Otherwise it's fun (for you, your opponent will curse a lot) to play.

I haven't seen a complete list of the new block (Shadows over Innistrad) until now, so it's hard to say what can be replaced with what. A general approach:
Bloodfell Caves ...Replace with any R/B mana source. If there aren't any use something like "Evolving Wilds"
Temur Battle Rage ...Can be replaced with any +X/+Y buff spell.
Collateral Damage ...Loosing a sacrifice outlet and a removal spell will hurt. Will have to see what's more important, the sacrifice option or the removal.
Lose Calm ...The 2 copies could be replaced with "Press into Service" if no other control spells are released.
Hordeling Outburst ...Either add 1 more "Dragon Fodder" or any good new token producing spell.
