Title: UW Control
Post by: Mattao19 on April 21, 2015, 12:55:24 PM
3 {Elspeth, Suns Champion}
2 {Dragonlord Ojutai
2 {Secure the Wastes}

7 "Win-Cons"
It's good to note that all of these are awesome on defense too which helps A LOT!

1 {Fated Retribution}
1 {AEtherspouts}
(Nobody expects these cards and they become massive blowouts!!)
2 {Periless Vault} very good at handling silly things like whip and fleece
2 {End Hostilities} I run enough sweepers that having only 2 is fine

6 "Sweepers"

1 {Devouring Light} (play Elspeth +1 and lol)
2 {Last Breath}
2 {Valorous Stance} both modes are very relevant actually :P

5 Removal Spells

4 {Dissolve} (duh)
1 {Nullify} not great but does a lot of work
2 {Negate} 2 MB 2 SB they really do hit a lot of things
2 {Disdainful Stroke} too good not to run

9 Counters

3 {Dig Through Time} trying to squeeze in a 4th
3 {Anticipates} they're good but I didn't like them as a 4 of

6 "Card Advantage Spells"

33 Spells

5 Island
2 Plains
4 UW Temple
4 Tranquil Cove
4 Strand
2 Delta
1 {Haven of the Spirit Dragon}
3 Rad. Fountain
2 Evolving Wilds

27 Land

SIDEBOARD:

1 {Glare of Heresy}
2 {Negate}
1 {Pearl Lake Ancient}
1 {Ugin the Spirit Dargon}
1 {Treasure Cruise}
2 {Surge of Righteousness} this card is OP!!
1 {Valorous Stance}
1 {Erase}
2 {Soulfire Grandmaster} SO GOOD!!
3 {Brimaz King of Oreskos} again SO GOOD!!

15 SB Cards

I've had a ton of success with this deck top 8ing the 2 PPTQs that I went to with it. It's a fun deck and control = awesome!!

What do you use {Soulfire Grandmaster} for? The second ability? What do you board it in against?

Soulfire is for 2 matches:

MonoRed as an early lifelink blocker that trades with their early creatures

And Control Mirror it's an early threat that they can't deal with easily bc they side out removal. Also late game it becomes an awesome creature that buys back your counterspells and digs

I see. Thanks for the explanation, seems like a sick card in this deck.
