Seems pretty interesting! How's it been working out for you?

It's been doing great in play testing. Against the aggro match ups like zombies I win most times. Against control if I win game one usually I win game game 2 or 3.
Edit: that's {U} control I'm talking about.

[Brandaloog]

Ah, very nice. Hope it continues to work for you!

[ChrisRodriguez]

Same here. I have been play testing for 4 days now. Gonna keep play testing until GP San Antonio in late November. If control makes it bigger then zombies or an other aggro deck; counterspells can make it into the mainboard.

What do y'all think if I splash some {R} for 2 {gisela, blade of goldnight}?

Does nobody like that idea?

[Brandaloog]

Nah, if you splashed red I'd say just make all American control. {Bonfire of the damned}, {pillar of flame}, gisela if you want her. I'm sure there are other good red cards I'm not thinking of as well

I think the same. It was something my friend was thinking I should do. I just wanted to see what other ppl had to say about it.

U control deck with no counter magic?

Well I'm expecting an aggro environment in the new meta with zombies getting stronger and humans as well. {cavern of souls} plus some of the uncounterable spells coming out in RtR; the only way I see counterspells useful is against an other control deck which I think will be few and far between. Between zombies, humans, delver, and tokens I thought it best to focus on field control rather then spell disruption. Which is the best way i think to play control in the future meta.

Edit: and if you look at my sideboard you can see I have counter magic in it. 😄

Updated the list. I decided to put the counter spells main board. Only cause I put in a couple more creatures in the deck.

Why no {terminus}? With many aggro decks having from the grave abilities like scavenge, not to mention regeneration (which your only board wipe is weak to) putting a card on the bottom of their library is pretty powerful, moreso for {W}.

Also {judge's familiar} is a card.

I know this list not the one I'm gonna use. The original list I posted is what I'm gonna use. I just changed up the deck list a little for the ppl wanting me to have counterspells.
