MTG Salvation

All really good advice above, thanks a lot. I've read the Patrick Sullivan guide a few times before. I used to find UW control an easier matchup than it is nowadays (and other non-life gain forms of control like Mono-Blue Tron are still pretty good I feel). I will report back to see if my winrate improves!

Just come back to Burn after a spell trying other stuff out...deck feels pretty good although I've noticed UW Control is pretty hard these days. New T3feri helps out a lot and MB Timely Reinforcements is such a drag. Any tips on how to fight the match-up? A couple of creatures in the opening hand with some burn is normally good but it doesn't always seal the deal...I normally board in 2 x Exquisite Firecraft.

Hello, I've played Burn for a bit and I get OK results. One question I have about Goblins/8 Whack - I guess we are assuming more of a control role here, particularly on the draw? Obviously one's hand will guide what style of play you take, but overall we're looking to keep the board under control and make our spells count in the long run?

Hey - had a stab at the Modern Challenge yesterday and went 6-2. I did not progress to the Top 8 due to bad tiebreakers. Dropped games to Jund and GDS. Nevertheless, the deck seems to be well positioned, especially if Burn/Izzet Phoenix stay popular. I don't run anything surprising (fetch-less, 2 win cons) - I've started using Godhead of Awe in the sideboard again due to GDS's resurgence.
