I’ve always enjoyed Jeskai Control, but it has felt “not quite there” in Standard for a long time, even though it has some GREAT tools just waiting to find a home. Then along came Murders at Karlov Manor, which gave us Lightning Helix and Ill-Timed Explosion, two cards that really ramp up the potential of this deck. Add them to the existing tools the deck has, and complete the picture with an undervalued finisher in Zurgo and Ojutai, and you’ve really got something. I went 9-2 to blaze through the last rank of Diamond on the ladder, and felt nearly untouchable, especially by aggro decks. Take a look and see some of the great games from that run.
