UWR Control

A UWR Control deck played on MTGO by Amillium.
More similar to the full-on control lists than its cousin, the UWR midrange lists featuring Geist of Saint Traft.

The inclusion of the one-of Isochron Scepter is nice.  It'll catch the unsuspecting player off-guard, and with the right spell, can win a game on its own.  As long as there aren't too many abrupt decays flying around, this seems like a fine inclusion.

The list seems a little rough and could use some tweaking.  But don't count it out because of all the unusual numbers.  Try it out for yourself first.

What more is there to say, it's an affinity list.  Lists vary based on player's preferences, but they all have the same basic plan: win quickly.  The list has a small update in the sideboard with wear/tear, but nothing else.  If you unsure of what to play in modern, Robots (Affinity) is always a good deck to fall back on.
