BR Control Dominaria Update


Dominaria has provided a lot of new options for Standard decks, even for Tier 2 archetypes which I will write about today. The last Black Red control deck I have posted was the one with Form of the Dinosaur and Tetzimoc. The Black Elder Dinosaur is still playable and was even part of the Mono Black list from GP Birmingham. The significant inclusion that I would consider is the planeswalker Karn which can get you cards in the mid and late game. Here below is my version of the Black Red Control in Dominaria Standard:

1 Josu Vess
1 Tetzimoc, Primal Death
4 Glorybringer
3 Rekindling Phoenix
2 Walking Ballista

2 Abrade
2 Cut / Ribbons
3 Duress
3 Fatal Push
2 Sweltering Suns
2 Unlicensed Disintegration
3 Vraska’s Contempt

2 Chandra, Torch of Defiance
3 Karn, Scion of Urza
2 Treasure Map

1 Arch of Orazca
4 Canyon Slough
2 Cinder Barrens
4 Dragonskull Summit
3 Ifnir Deadlands
7 Mountain
1 Scavenger Grounds
3 Swamp

Joining Karn is Josu Vess, your other option for the late game one-time big time. The maindeck Duress here is very relevant to the current metagame as it can discard counterspells, planeswalkers and even a Heart of Kiran on turn one. Let me know what you think of this decklist.
