[Standard Development] B/R Control

[justinhering]

Most of you that played on Game Day saw Anja's interesting B/R Control build, that takes advantage of Trinket Mage and artifact fatties. Counter magic and burn control the board until she drops one of her 5 six drops and wins. Here's the build:

[Spells] 20:
2 Arc Trail
2 Burst Lightning
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Mana Leak
4 Preordain
2 Slagstorm
2 Spell Pierce

[Creatures] 11:

2 Inferno Titan
1 Steel Hellkite
2 Stoic Rebuttal
4 Treasure Mage
2 Wurmcoil Engine

[Planeswalkers] 4:

4 Jace Beleren

[Lands] 25:

12 Island
7 Mountain
2 Mystifying Maze
4 Scalding Tarn

Sideboard:
1 Contagion Engine
2 Crush
3 Flashfreeze
2 Pyroclasm
2 Ratchet Bomb
4 Spreading Seas
1 Steel Hellkite

I think it is a well-thought out deck. I would add Mindslaver and Spine of Ish Sah, but she doesn't want to listen to her 'old man'.

I like cutting the 2 burst lightning for an extra slagstorm and either arc trail or spell pierce (I am leaning towards the pierce). Also I have a small problem with the stoic rebuttles in the creature category . Is that supposed to be a creature or is it right? Either way Anja you might want to listen to your "old man" because a 1 of mindslaver is great. And I would add the third pierce/ arc trail that you wouldnt add before to drop the rebuttals or the other 6 drop. Also as stupid as this sounds the red/green is good against valakut/rug which I feel like you have a good enough matchup vs rug but I think you should run tunnel ignus in the sideboard.

Aside from those suggestions, I really like the deck! I think it deals with the net decks very well and deals with the standard meta very well. Let me know how you guys decide to adjust and how it does this sunday.
