"Under Control"  (now ya do what they told ya)

4 Ophidian
2 Memory Crystal
2 Sapphire Medalian
2 Ertai, Wizard Adept
2 Disrupting Scepter
4 Dismiss
2 Forbid
4 Counterspell
3 Capsize
3 Whispers of the Muse
4 Mana Leak
4 Waterspout Djiinn
4 Legacy's Allure
18 Island
2 Quicksand

There are a couple of locks in this deck:

Ertai       (one card soft lock)
Ertai + Disrupting Scepter    (very solid. empty their hand and counter
anything that's  not land)
Disrupting Scepter +  Capsize  (bounce then burn any permenant)
Capsize lock (with memory crystals and sap medalians)
Forbid + Ophidian   (get plenty of cards to use buyback)

Waterspouts are the kill card, but in the early game, they make incredible
blockers and can hold off attacks until you have more land out.  Against burn
you usually gain card advantage b/c they use 2 burn cards to take it down.  I
haven't started a sideboard yet, but propogandas, slights and chills are good.
Please send any comments you have on this deck back to me.  Have fun.
