Ok recently we are still vague on this deck for the community.  So we are going to change things up a bit.  Give colors plus any splashed colors.  So if you say bant splash black, say UGW sp/B.  You must also include win con if you have one in mind.  Sorry for rule change.

I read an interesting article about turbo fog. It said to think of {Otherworld Atlas} as a pw. It can generate cards for you, and if you "+1" it enough it can reach "ultimate" (like 4 or 5 counters) where it plays a large roll in decking your opponent.

Now I don't think our main wincon should be mill/fog, but it is a good way to view artifacts.

I say if you are running atlas, you might as well replace it with jace AOT. Same CMC, and you can use it right away. Jace AOT doesn't win the game like atlas can sometimes do, but he is a great disposable CA engine. One of the few pws I wouldn't mind running a playset of. Though 3 would probably be more reasonable.

I can't tell you enough how much I dislike seeing Jace AOT on the other side . It's an advantage automatically that can switch the game in your favor in the majority of games .

You are right, thanks for keeping us on track! I will post my color info once I look up all the bombs for my choice. My brain is a little fried right now because I just finished taking a math exam :p

UWG sp/B.    win con is bombs.    Sigarda, angel of serenity, thragtusk.  And I'd love to see us throw a grizzybeard down.   Chromatic lantern for mana fixing.

If we are sticking with a control deck then I suggest we look at cards which we can vary according to what we are playing against.
Eg.  {Nevermore} and {Slaughter Games} are great at shutting down whatever deck we come up against. I'm sure there is more out there tho.

Slaughter Games... The detention sphere of rakdos. :). I agree completely but remember we still haven't decide on deck colors, and win con... Just putting that out there

Hell we could do 5 color control. Lol

Oh god that would be HARD, but intresting to see what acually makes the deck.  Plus it would be hard to find a win con...
I swear half the people here are just going to suddenly scream out FIVE COLOR CONTROL!!!

Very viable and not as hard as it seems. The hard part us not putting cards in because you want them, but instead putting them in because you need them.

I haven't been following this extremely closely, but shouldn't concessions be made for budgetary reasons? 5-color land base can get expensive.

Thanks I forgot to put that in my post but yeah, discard for hand hate, lifegain for well, lifegain, wraiths for board control, bombs for win con, mana ramp for mana, exile graveyards for graveyard hate, the list is endless.  But like you said if we do five color control (God forbid) then when do we stop and decide what goes in that massive list of cards, because we'll all have an opinion about what stays and goes.  Which is why I resent FCC but we'll do it if it is chosen. :/

I saw an esper control deck list recently and I thought it looked very solid.  Win conditions were {Entreat the Angels} as a one of, {Nephalia Drownyard} and {Jace, Memory Adept} and otherwise really heavy on control.  It seemed very strong.

Yes it can and that is another reason I can resent FCC...
Keep the ideas coming deadline is coming up so good luck.
