Most people would that a blue/white deck would be some sort of control
or permission deck. My deck, The Jenner, is far from that. But before I
get into that to much, I should probly give you the deck first.

4 Counterspell
4 Mana leak                     Sideboard:
4 Impulse                       2 Disrupt
4 Ophidian                      3 Knight of the Mists
2 Reins of Power                3 CoP:Red
2 Paladin en-Vec                1 Disenchant
2 Knight of Dawn                2 Light of Day
2 Spirit en-Kor                 2 Winter Orb
3 Master Decoy                  2 Capsize
3 Dienchant
3 Empyrial Armor
2 Winter Orb
3 Mind Stone
1 Cursed Scroll
10 Island
10 Plains
1 Gemstone Mine

        Ok, so its not far from being a control deck, a considerable distance
maybe. But, unlike a control, it dosen't take a whole lot of brains to
figure out how it works. You may have noticed that most of the creatures
have some type of unblockable abiltiy. Their all quite good creatures,
and difficult to kill. The Empyrial Armor is what makes this deck go
round, and the Ophidians are the to keep your hand size up. Its
extremmly hard to kill a flying en-kor, so save some armor for the
spirits. Its usually best to save your Cursed Scroll for the late game,
where your hand size wont be as high, and an extra 2 damage each turn is
very helpful. Should your opponent be able to block your Empyrial
critters, Master Decoys are very usefull. The Mind Stones are to be used
under a Winter Orb, but most of the casting costs are fairly low so you
shouldn't have any problems. Impulses are for getting at the
Counterspells and Mana Leaks, and sometimes lands if you need them.
Should you ever run into a creature glut, you have Reins of Power.
        The sideboard explains itself pretty much. Light of day will shutdown
any black deck, CoP:red against sligh, you get the idea. One word of
caution, this deck is in trouble against green, blue, and, once in a
while, white. This deck is fairly fast, so you shouldn't have trouble
against weenie decks. Its Tourey record is 8 wins and 6 losses.
