It's a sassy number that's easier on your pocket than it is on your opponent... If it has a message it's very simple...
'I'll let you keep it, but only if I can blow it up later...'
Budge UR Counter Burn. It controls what your opponent plays by being extremely Blue permission based and keeps the board clear using Red burn and sweeps. Jace and Chandra are both alternate win conditions along with budget favorite, Sphinx of Jwar Isle. Here's my list that is up in the wizard forums:
Budget U/R Counter Burn Control
Creatures:
Spells:
2x Staggershock
3x Slagstorm
3x Cancel
4x Mana Leak
2x Deprive
4x Preordain
4x Jace Beleren
Lands:
7x Mountain
5x Island
Sideboard:
4x Tunnel Ignus
4x Pyroclasm
1x Slagstorm
The deck's only really bad matchup is Ramp/Valakut which is why Tunnel Ignus and Spreading Seas are in the deck plus Tectonic Edge. Jace Beleren is the most expensive card in the deck but he's extremely neccessary to give you draw power as well as an answer to the format's most expensive card, Jace the Mindsculptor. The Jace 1.0s are worth it for any budget deck that wants to compete. The only problem this deck has is that because of budget restrictions, it can't afford fetchlands. Add Scalding Tarn ASAP.
PS. I would like to slip 2-3 Narcolepsy into this deck. Great Titan tech on a budget.
