Deck Description

Post-Theros control deck with some of the strongest new and old standard cards. Use the control to slow your opponents, the burn to pick off board threats or help kill your opponent, and your limited but strong creature-base (or Elspeth) to finish the game.

How to Play

Frostburn Weird - Very strong defender at 1/4 that is capable of removing nuisance creatures up to toughness 4 if need be, or can swing and deal 4 damage to your opponent.
Spellheart Chimera - An excellent creature for this deck. After you're done controlling/burning your opponent you can slam this down for 1RB with a frightening power.

The rest of the spells are self-explanatory. Burn, Counters, Removal.
Surpreme verdict for later game boardwipes, Anger of the Gods for early game boardwipes (AotG will also hit your Chimeras, however).

Elspeth is a great drop in almost any matchup, whether it be Aggro or Control, if you resolve it successfully you're almost always in the lead.

Weakness: Thoughtseize and B, B/U combinations that have hand destruction, and possibility some graveyard hate to disable Spellheart Chimera.

Sideboard: For the most part, the sideboard consists of more boardwipes against G/W aggro, and more counters and draw against similar control decks.
Glare of Heresy because Elspeth.
