So your deck sounds like it fits in a Modern format. If your building your deck around Fealty you gotta be able to stabilize the board so you don't get your head bashed in. I noticed that you mentioned some cards that gain control of your opponents creatures. That's good but they get the creature back and then continue to beat you down with them UNLESS you gain control of the creatur, attack them with there own creature and then sacrifice the creature so they don't get it back! Otherwise just gaining control of there creature for one turn isn't really good at all. It would be better to just remove there creature from the game entirely. So your colors are Red and Blue. Must have cards would be 4 {Lightning Bolt}'s, 4 {Mana Leaks} perhaps some Cancels. In a control deck you control the board of creatures and nasty spells until you play a big fat fatty creature that they can't remove and you just whip them up and down. Also control decks need some kind of card drawing engine or spell like perhaps {Divination} or {Concecrated Sphinx} from the new Morrodin block. So control the board with burn spells and counter magic until you play your big fat creature. Sorry this is alot.lol. I've been playing magic since 94 and have played some really good players and looked at deck types. Good to see some one I interested in becoming better at Magic. hope this helped some!

Is this a free format deck? If so force of will would be good so that you can protect yourself from combo and insure that your combo will go off if your taped out. I like Ponder and Brainstorm would be good so you could dig and find the Quest.

She is good!! If your apponent does not deal with her she'll destroy them. I like her in an ever-green deck(black,green) with cards in standard that work with your graveyard. Turn 3 Lilliana everyone discards then turn 4 Skinnrender or Thrun and have Lilliana sack a creature. That's a big shift in the game state right there. Then make them discard a card if they expend there resources dealing with your creatures and or off one of there creatures if they play another creature. She's good!
