Izzet counter-burn

I think the name says it all...

The deck doesn't need Ionize or Risk Factor to function, which is why they're in the maybe-board.  I'd drop both Divinations and 1 Radical Idea for three Risk Factors and all 3 cancels for Ionizes.

I hate UW control

This deck is not designed to win.  This deck was created by my hatred of Teferi decks.  The idea behind this deck is stop every single spell they cast and (maybe, if you feel like it, play Niv-Mizzet) poke them for one damage a turn (your draw phase).

Also, if it comes down to drawing every card in both of your decks, this deck is 61 cards, that way, they run out first.  That is the entire reason for the 61st card.

The entire strategy behind this deck is to when no later than turn 5.  The cavalry drillmaster is included instead of surestrike because CD gives me a 2/1 blocker.  The idea is to target the Goblin Banneret on turn 3 with Boros Challenger (although it still works with swiftstrike) on the field, swing with both bringing the BC to a 3/4.

The sideboard was designed around a mirror matchup.  The extra shocks, the Deafening Clarions, and the Seal Aways are all there keep you alive until you can get out some larger creatures.  There is a case to be made for using Settle the Wreckage instead of Deafening Clarion though, and I'm not sure which is better.

The Sideboard also offers some larger threats in LD and LotL.

Just getting back into mtg, and thought I'd throw this together, let me know what you think or of any improvements.
