Difficulty: 3/10
Despite being a control deck, it is fairly straightforward - remove most of the things you can while beating their face down. Difficulty spawns from deciding what to name with Council of the Absolute, bluff games that happen once each player knows the enemy deck, and using Aetherling correctly.

Your opening hand will give you one of two options: race and play a tempo game, or buy time and whittle out their resources. If you have a Precinct Captain and a couple of tempo cards like Dramatic Rescue, Syncopate, or AEtherize, go for the race. Otherwise, if you've got a couple of Detention Spheres and counterspells, go for the control plan until you can win in resources. Once Aetherling hits the board, the game begins to revolve around whether or not you can deal with the opponent's threats while simultaneously winning with it.

This deck is useful for teaching the following concepts to newer players:
-Picking and Choosing Removal
-Mana Color Management
-What is Important to Counter
-When to be Aggressive
