Control/removal deck with multiple win conditions. About a 80-90% win rate.

Use removals to keep creatures at bay, gain life at the same time. Urza's Ruinous Blast for mass removals. Counter as needed. After establishing control, win with Scarab God or Lyra beatdown. Lyra is also helpful as a blocker and/or regain some life to buy you time towards establishing control. Regain card advantage with eternalized Champions late game. A well positioned Raff allows you to surprise cast your legendary creatures and ruinous blasts. Two Approach of Second Sun as alternate win condition; use Supreme Will, Arch, Terferi, and Azcanta to dig to your second cast. One Duress provided as a strategic protection against enemy counterspells on your winning Approach cast, and also to gain recon advantage against the opponent's hand.

Yup, completely thought about that in the early iterations of this deck, then realized that fast creature decks would sometimes overwhelm me and the opponent would strategically attack with 1 or 2 creatures at a time to prevent being Settled. Sometimes just needed a good board wiper that would be much more valuable than the one or two early seals/casts that can be dealt with again later with the many options in your hand.

The problem of urza is that it removes your cast out / seal away , that card is really hard to play in any deck that isn't a u/w legendary relic.

Feel free to comment with feedback or suggestions. Duress can be swapped for one more Moment of Craving, and one Urza's can be considered to be swapped for another Settle.
