CONTROL is back, baby! ☀️🌊 (MTG Arena Final Fantasy Standard)

Thanks to the bans in Standard, classic Azorius (Blue-White) Control is back on the menu! I’ve spent weeks trying to craft this list for the new meta. We’ll use the power of Stock Up and Beza in Final Fantasy Standard to counter, board wipe and dominate with card advantage on the MTG Arena best of one ladder.

I played Magic: The Gathering as a kid. Now I’m back in the game as a dad! My goal is to help new and experienced players alike to improve their skills. I keep a running commentary on card evaluations, deck building and gameplay strategy.

Please chat about any part of the video in the comments and I will gladly respond with my thoughts or answers!
