        "ShardControl" is a great deck for tournaments.  It uses blue's
counterspells to hold an opponent at bay while dealing damage to your opponent
and their creatures with the Shard Phoenix.  If your opponent is playing with
a lot of creatures with protection from red , you could always sacrifice your
Phoenix to a Goblin Bombardment for more damage and then cast a Reins of Power
to gain control of your opponents creatures and pound them into a pulp.
        Another option for defeat are the direct damage spells.  Shock and Incinerate
are for blockers , but the main killer are the Rolling Thunder's.  This spell
can take out your opponent as well as his or her creatures.
        The sideboard is pretty straight forward.  Pyroblast for another control deck
and Hydroblast for mono-red.  The Mana Leaks are for more control and Null
Rod's for those pesky Cursed Scroll's.  Shattering Pulse for those heavy on
artifacts decks and 2 Disenchant for almost every deck on the scene and a
Perish for Stupid Green and any deck with green creatures.  Well , that's my
deck.  Try it out.
