There's something wonderful about playing a control deck and taking it to the absolute brink at one or two life, only to turn the corner and grind out a hard fought win.

Now how about we do that every game!

If you haven't watched the video, you're doing yourself a disservice because it was an absolutely unbelievable three game set.

Control is actually a very sneaky choice for Standard at the moment, with the counterspells being excellent against all the decks trying to go big with 5-7 mana spells, and all the removal coming in clutch against the heavy creature decks trying to get under those decks. Furthermore, you also get to play Fable of the Mirror-Breaker, which is the clear best card in the format.

If you're a natural control player, this needs to be your next Standard deck!
