Deck Description

Simple deck to introduce the red blue control archetype, tried to keep it under $20, around the same price as an intro pack.

How to Play

The main objective is to keep board control with a lot of spell recursion on burn spells and counters. To maximize this, we have to play smart with a lot of combos and well timed spells. End game is achieved with Lava Axes that we can dupe with Nivix Guildmage, or by slowly burning our enemy down.

Continuous Fires.
Suspend Arc Blade, Nivix Guildmage, 4 mana (1b1r). Deal some 4 damage every 3 turns, tries to keep low toughness creatures down, or an x/4.
<alternative> Suspend Arc Blade and Guttersnipe, pings enemy down faster.

Heavy Removal.
Vapor Snag and a counterspell. Gets rid of really strong dudes.
