Title: Mono Blue Control? Suggestion needed
Post by: Bman0121 on May 07, 2013, 08:52:04 AM
Mono Blue Control?

60 cards, 0 sideboard


3 {Ghost Quarter}
21 {Island}

24 lands


4 {Snapcaster Mage}
3 {Dungeon Geists}
2 {Ætherling}

9 creatures


3 {Devastation Tide}
3 {Think Twice}
2 {Tamiyo, the Moon Sage}
2 {Cyclonic Rift}
3 {Rapid Hybridization}
4 {Thought Scour}
1 {Dissipate}
2 {Syncopate}
4 {Unsummon}
3 {Jace, Architect of Thought}

27 other spells


Sideboard

Notes:
If you play standard competitively you know the mana is rough for decks of 2 colors, and 4 colors so you are probably a 3 color deck, 5 color or mono colored but money can be a issue so i brewed up this mono blue control deck that besides snapcaster is relatively cheap

I'm feeling more counter magic. You might have a problem with  {Geist of Saint Traft} if it lands

Agree with more counters, but this is probably one of the few times I would suggest delver

I agree. With 27 spells, just run {Delver of Secrets}. Waiting to land on {Dungeon Geist} and {Ætherling} mana could be too slow if you can't push the tempo with {Delver of Secrets} first, and {Augur of Bolas}. And Delver is kinda-sorta rogue-ish at this point.

I'd also drop a {Jace, Architect of Thought} perhaps bring one of the {Tamiyo, the Moon Sage} into the sideboard.

Im thinking of dropping  {Dungeon Geists} for  {Augur of Bolas} and maybe playing  {Talrand, Sky Summoner} instead of  {Ætherling}
