Juri, Master of the Revue
This Rakdos control deck uses Juri's growing power not for simple fling aggro, but as a control weapon and massive resource engine. By abusing sacrifice loops with unexpected power-matters bite spells, asymmetric board wipes like Chandra's Ignition, and cheap reanimation spells, you dominate the battlefield while threatening instant-speed punishment.
Asked for“I want the control to not involve throwing an inflated Juri at someone but instead cleverly using a high power or toughness Juri with cards people don't expect. Have it be a Bracket 3 or lower bracket 4. The deck is a Black and Red Juri control deck”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
