The Magic: the Gathering control decks continue to thrive in the Standard format and most are armed with the Alrund’s Epiphany combo, which I hope soon that Wizards will answer to nerf it or a somewhat similar solution.

For Today’s Standard deck list update, I am presenting a list from the recent Red Bull Untapped 2021 tournament International Stop V. This was played by a popular Japanese Pro player Junya Iyanaga, and his version of the turns deck strategy is Grixis. He finished first in the event, defeating Mono-Green Aggro in the finals.

Check out his Grixis Control Turns full decklist below.

What I liked about this deck build is how it caters to a lot of one-ofs to deal with certain board situations. Have you tried testing this build on MTG Arena? What are your observations? Let me know in the comments below.
