Board wipes (Blasphemous Act, Deadly Tempest), reanimation (Dredge the Mire, Rakshasa Debaser), removal (Terminate, Soul Shatter, Feed the Swarm) this deck does everything a black-red control deck should do before throwing in a good amount of ramp (Mana Geyser, Burnished Hart, Worn Powerstone) and card draw (Theater of Horrors, Ambitions Cost) on top of that
You can absolutely play this in Izzet tempo but far more so than any other card you might play you have to do so with great caution
A few of them were no doubt going to be needed to make the themes work, but in general we wanted to be giving you something extra with older cards that may be less on-hand
Perhaps the best way may be to ditch all of the countermagic in the next version in favor of an even more low to the ground and faster tempo version, with more burn, and much cheaper creatures like Erg Raiders, topping out at three mana
now, weve come to expect them from virtually any and every new set, and Masters sets are no exception
