Deck Description

Based on the building on budget article: Solving the Control Conundrum

http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/boab/200

Ramp like mad to until you have 7 mana available, and then nuke the opponent for 20 using Sorin Markov's -3 ability "Target opponent's life total becomes 10", and then finish them off with Sorin's Vengeance dealing the remaining 10 damage in the same turn.

The following cards allow you to ramp easily enough to the required Mana:
o Ichor Wellspring
o Sphere of the Suns
o Mycosynth Wellspring
o Pristine Talisman
o Solemn Simulacrum

Use Phyrexia's core to destroy Ichor Wellspring and Mycosynth Wellspring for additional card advantage. Then use Buried Ruin to return the artifacts to your hand

Tutor to Sorin Markov, Sorin's vengeance or Black Sun Zenith using either Diabolic Tutor or Increasing Ambition.

Gain life with Pristine Talisman, Phyrexian Core, Sorin's vengeance and Sorin Markov's +2 ability.

Repeatedly board wipe with Black Sun Zenith, which then shuffles back into your library for reuse. Go for the Throat and Distress keeps other threats at bay

Keep the enemy at bay with Royal Assasin buying you time...

This deck is a stone cold killer!!

How to Play

Turn 1:
- Play a Swamp

Turn 2:
- Play a Phyrexia's Core land (Used to later sacrifice Mycosynth Wellspring or Ichor Wellspring for card draw or extra lands)
- Play a Sphere of the Suns

Turn 3:
- Play a Swamp
- Play a Pristine Talisman (tap it to gain 1 life each turn from this point onwards)

Turn 4:
- Play a Swamp
- Play Sorin Markov (I'd be tempted to activate his -3 now and reduce the opponents life total to 10 at this point. It depends on your opponents deck. Do they have planeswalker removal or enough creatures to kill Sorin at this point?)

Turn 5:
- Play a Swamp
- Activate Sorin Markov's -3 and reduce the opponents life total to 10.
- Play Sorin's Vengeance and deal 10 damage to the opponent ending the game!
