UWR Control

[yugornot]

Hey, I saw you were considering taking out a Spell Snare for a Remand. I think that is best main board, but I would try to fit that Spell Snare into the sideboard. It really comes in handy it a lot of cases. I used to play American control quite a bit, I found the happy number of Spell Snares for me was one in the main and one in the board.

I agree. I used to play uwr control and i always hated having spell snares in hand.

Thanks to both of you for the advice.

No problem man. When I played American control it was loads of fun, just trying to pass it on. I also liked having 4 of both {Lighting Helix} and {Path to Exile}. But that was because I was in a super aggro heavy meta.

I have been debating taking out a Bolt for a Helix, simply because mana constraints aside, it is better. What would you recommend taking out for a 4th Path? Also, what do you recommend taking out to move the 2nd Snare to the SB?

It really is a meta call. That's the beautiful thing about a deck like this. You fine tune it to fall perfectly in line with your meta. That being said, if you're going up to 3 {Remand} and taking out a {Spell Snare} then you can most likely safely drop one {Mana Leak}. That'll leave you room for either a {Path to Exile} or a {Lightning Helix}, whichever you prefer. How are 27 lands working out for you? Is it a bit much sometimes or does it work out?

I'm a huge, "draw, go, I do everything on your end step," kind of guy, so 27 lands is quite a bit, but it works out quite well. I will most likely cut a land for a Helix though. I'll do some testing over the next few days and report back, thank you guys so much for all the feedback.

Sure thing man, that's what we're here for. The "Draw, go" strategy is the one I used. Everything but my {Geist of Saint Traft} was an instant or had flash. And even then I ended up ditching my Geists and went with the completely flash version. I like this deck a lot and the build you have looks really solid. I do agree with cutting one land for a helix but again, the build depends entirely on what you're playing against. The best way to figure out what you need is to test out different modifications and adjust as you see fit. Again though, I like this build a lot.

Awesome, thanks!

If people do not +1 this guy for boss status on the day of registering .... then your doing it wrong

Well I tried to like your post to give you karma but I don't have 100 posts yet. So consider it a pre- +1.

Updated my list:
-2x {Vendilion Clique}
-1x {Sphinx's Revelation}

+1 {Wrath of God}
+2 {Dig Through Time}

Considering cutting one land and/or 1 {Remand} for 1 {Dig Through Time} and/or {Mana Leak}

Should I be playing {Keranos, God of Storms}, {Wurmcoil Engine} or {Batterskull} in the MB or SB?

I think wurmcoil is great sideboard versus some decks like odd control decks and the big stomps decks cause it a resilient creature that has a lot of text on it.

{Norin the wary} is resilient and has lots of text

Depends on the meta often players run Batterskull or Keranos bc wurmcoil is weak to Path

If you like draw go, go resto. and great with the 4x snap.
