RIX Standard Deck Feature: BR Control


While I was pondering of a control decklist that features Tetzimoc as the top curve and finisher, I found this deck that finished 5-0 in the MTGO Competitive Standard League dated January 20, 2018. It did not have the Black Dinosaur but instead utilized playset of Glorybringer and Rekindling Phoenix while controlling the opponent’s board with Vraska’s contempt, Abrades, Fatal Push and Sweltering Suns, and with a guest planeswalker Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh.
