Well said.

If red is giving you issues try running Master of Waves or Tidebinder Mage. I run Life's Legacy in Mine and Urgan Evolution and I also run Kruphix and Zegana.

I've been trying to put together a deck list for Chasm Skulker myself but mine is a bit different. It has Master Biomancer also. Decent looking deck to abuse him though.

You could do that. I've seen some esper decks main deck Doom Blade.

Control decks like at least 10+ scry lands. It pretty much negates the need for Read the Bones especially when you already have Jace, Architect of Thought. I'd run 4 Supreme Verdict anyways and if you're local meta doesn't have a lot of aggro just sideboard them out if needed.

My daughter is 5 and I made her a pretty simple RDW deck to play. She loves it. Granted she doesn't get ALL of the rules yet but she'll get there. Grats on the baby.

Underworld Connections and Read the Bones isn't needed at all when you have 4 Sphinx's Revelation and Jace, Architect of Thought. The deck has enough draw as it is and you need more support cards. Duress works better in the sideboard to come in against control and you NEED 4 Supreme Verdict to keep aggro under your belt. I agree with 26 land but you shouldn't need mana confluence unless you don't have all the required lands. If that is the case disregard that comment. I put AEtherling in my sideboard in my Esper deck and I ran Blood Baron of Vizpoka and Obzedat, Ghost Council in the main deck but if you don't have or don't want them in the maindeck then you only need 1 AEtherling, really. I'd move Hero's Downfall up to 3 and drop Far // Away to 1. Doom Blade is at least needed in the sideboard because outside of Far // Away your deck CANNOT touch Stormbreath Dragon and opposing Blood Baron's without wiping the board completely or dropping Elspeth with her middle ability. Also through in Blind Obedience to buy yourself some time. Don't forget about M15, it brought some new toys to standard that control can utilize, like AEtherspouts.

In his defense if you don't know how a deck works or you don't care how a deck works, then you have no grounds to criticize it and give input. Just sayin.

Jace, Memory adept comes in against control mirror matches. Control decks don't like being milled. Caller of the Pride wouldn't do anything at all in this deck because I hardly run any creatures. He's more for aggro decks.

You're talking about two completely different types of decks. Azorius heroic decks are aggro decks. They are going to have lots of creatures maybe with some control cards thrown in. Control decks focus entirely on stalling out the opponent and ruining their tempo until they can win the game with their planeswalkers or the few creatures they have.

I never said I was an expert and your opinion of me isn't going to bother me. Please go troll some place else.

Three years isn't long in Magic at all. And there are all different types of Azorius decks. This is a control deck and they hardly have creatures, if any.

Yea I noticed people also running it with Nissa to make a 4/4 indestructible elemental.

Ahhh I forgot about the artifact land. Disregard then. Sorry about that.

I wouldn't mind a mutilate reprint.

Sorry, accidentally deleted the comment, lol. I wasn't liking Nixilis and the tormenter in my rock deck but Scuttling Doom Engine and Life's Legacy work well together. Draw six cards by sacrificing the Doom Engine and then deal six damage.

Something might get printed in the next set. At least I'm hoping so but if not there is still Fated Retribution at least. I just now threw it in my B/G deck. Has a good combo with Life's Legacy but I wouldn't hesitate to run it in control. I pulled two in the booster box I bought.

Nothing in standard is aggressive like Phyrexian Obliterator. Lol.

Have you checked out the mono black devotion decks? The ones the pros run? Desecration Demon, Underworld Connections, Erebos, God of Death, Pack Rat, Bile Blight, Thoughtseize, Hero's Downfall. All cards that they run. Some even splash white just to be able to use Obzedat, Ghost Council or Blood Baron of Vizpoka. Hell they'll even run Elspeth.

Why not throw in some burn spells just to burn them on their next turn?
