Title: Hand Control
Post by: Calebestes on February 06, 2013, 04:51:09 AM
I was wondering if there was anyway to make a hand control deck.  Like itd have to be grixis.  If you can keep them from having anything in there hand then you win for the most part right?

Ramp turns 2-4 then wrath or better yet overload {cyclonic rift} EoT and {Rakdos's Return} while all their stuff is in there hand.

Too many different feck types right now. Cant really build around crushing their hand unless you crush it all at once

{wit's end}

Although this is too damn expensive to matter unless you ramp like a crazy mad-happy maniac

turn 1: a mana dork
Turn 2: {rampant growth}
turn 3: play a land, then drop a {ranger's path} or {rampant growth} if you managed to get the mana dork.
Turn 4: {wits end}

Alternatively you could throw {goblin electromancer} in there somewhere

I would say also throw in some removal and mass removal. As well as stuff that removes other stuff. And...stuff.

Oh also things that could benefit from discarding the opponents stuff?

I'm not sure!  That's why I posted this topic.
