What Is Magic The Gathering???

[Calebestes]

I mean there is no one awesome deck, some games your deck hates you and others its awesome.   Me beig a control player, and have been since I've been playing magic, Bant Control is by far my favorite.  Since I made it, I've placed 1st 5x and 3rd once.   The 3rd was some bogus system mechanics because I played the only undefeated guy and gave him a spanking.     Look at the overall meta as a whole and see what's winning tournaments...people more often then not jut Net deck ideas.  I can't lie, my first bant is what I did and since then I've tweaked and remade into my own.     But back to what's winning, Aggro and midrange...and what kills both?  Board control and life gain.    I run 8x board sweepers now because of that.  I've played my deck enough to know what I need in hand to beat Aggro decks on opening hand.  3 lands a farseek and a supreme verdict.    You just need to know how to beat the decks.    That's just my input.  Could be wrong.

Ok guys starting now we will put out deck ideas, we will work off those base colors and splash if we need to.  The deck idea that has the most people saying yes to it is our base idea.  Please put deck colors along with your post of a deck idea.  Let the games begin...

2 days or less from now is deadline and then we will start card idea day.

Imma have to go with Bant again.

Control with digging cards and board wipes . I see planes walkers in the list as well to help with keepin things on lock and removal for those tricky hexproof issues and more to come ... Lol

For this I would start with bant and splash black for kill spells and Posibly discards for card advantage bant is a good way to start because of mana ramp life gain and counters/boardwipes
Now I prefer esper but that in my opinion is not the best way to go for this deck

I think I agree with you on bant

Well {terminus}, {blind obediance}, and {farseek} need to be included. Each has such a powerful all consuming effect on the meta that it would be silly not to include those.

Im thinking about the benefits of blue, black, and red right now. So far blue has not impressed me since it's best cards are {sphinx's revelation} and {supreme verdict} both of which large portions of the meta couldnt care less about (becase of {boros charm}, undying, and {frontline medic}). Yes blue has the walkers but that might not be enough.

I haven't seen  {Glaring Spotlight} played once with anyone I play with. That being said, hexproof creatures such as  {Sigarda, Host of Herons} and  {Geist of Saint Traft} force people to make tough decisions.

I agree and it is surprising that people don't even use it that much in sideboards too.

With so much aggro in the format right now glaring spotlight is the least of their worries lol that's why we re not seeing it much . In all my matches since release date , I haven't seen a single spotlight hit the board .

If we add blue walkers I would say tamiyo > jace but that's my opinion

[Kaleo42]

The blue walkers work best in tandem with other walkers. Sigarda would be a good bomb, only wrath hits her which will usually be your own that lets you get her back later anyways.

Sorry to interfere guys, maybe I am out o the topic, but after 4 days of constant testing of Bant PW deck I cannot agree more that if u want include blue planeswalkers then u must include  {Tamiyo, the Moon Sage} and {Jace, Architect of Thought} and optonaly also core set jace, if u want keep drawing cards.. Or maybe consider  {Otherworld Atlas}...

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.
