Title: That one control archetype...
Post by: Birdbrain on November 30, 2012, 09:27:04 PM
Can someone point me in the right direction on an example of the control archetype were it plays a bunch of stuff that isn't worth using removal stuff on? I want to know so I have more knowledge for deck building purposes

Modern or standerd. Red/blue. That as priority, though any set of colors would also be welcome. Since more combos of colors would give more options and ideas

Esper Control uses {Lingerig Souls} and floods the field with 1/1 tokens. It uses like 3 at a time and makes you waste removal, then makes more.

Esper = {U}{W}{B}

Living on a whim

This idea centralizes around the {rest in peace}, {misthollow griffin} interaction back up by whatever you want. The idea is simple, control/ wrath/ draw cards into a favorable board state and then win with never ending griffins or block until you can burn or mill them out. I have built a bant lifegain version, a red burn/ aggro version, a black big beats version, and even an enchantment based version that at one point had my opponent paying 12 mana for each attacker.
