[u]Basic Idea[/u]This deck is intended for first-time players. To make a beginner friendly deck I decide to keep the deck extra simple, so that the new player can focus on getting to know the rules, tactics and understanding what's going on. Azorius Control is another archetype I tried to convert into a budget and beginner friendly version. [u]Cardpool and Budget[/u]Mass-strengthening-effects (+x/+x to all creatures) and cards with multiple effects are not allowed. Lands are limited to Common's and Uncommon's, no Rare's or Mythic's. Other cards are limited to Common's, Uncommon's and 1 Rare (max. 4 copies) per deck, no Mythic's.The overall budget should be between 15 to 20$. (Estimated mid value). [u]Upgradeability/ Room for improvements]/u]This deck is bound to a general strategy, named "Control" where you hinder your opponent from using spells that can harm you while slowly dealing damage to him. As this is a general strategy, in opposite to concentrating on a certain keyword or tribe, it should be easy to improve the cards uses in this deck and to keep the deck up to date. New released editions will often contain cards that can be fitted into this deck. [u]Tests[/u]I have tested this deck against other beginner decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask. I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.
With 12 cards that can exile your opponents creatures and another 8 that help to further control them, this deck works well against creature heavy decks, especially those, that focus on few, strong, creatures. The goal of this deck is to not let your opponent develop his decks strategy but control his play and let him play only what you allow him to. To have success with such a strategy you will have to know your cards as well as your opponents. The more you know about his decks strategy, the better you will be able use spells like [[Mana Leak]] or [[Banisher Priest]] to control crucial elements of his gameplan, so that he won't be a threat to you, while your creatures more or less slowly grind him down.
