This is the updated version of my baby control deck

You call this control, but it really feels more Midrange Aggro. Which can be good. Just "feels" that way. To me at least.

Weldrodson

What would u do to make it more controlling it is my first ever attempt at control

prayos

Drop Garruk, add {Tamiyo}. Drop Syncopates for {Dissipate}. Aetherling is good. Drop Thrag and add {Auger of Bolas}. He's good draw power. Drop Farseek, and a Terminus for {Think Twice}. More draw is best. Drop the Armada wurm for another counter, I like {Render Silent}.

Check out my list here. Yes, it's {B} instead of {G}, but if you drop the guys I mentioned, you could go straight Azorius Control. Hell, could probably throw in a {Delver of Secrets} with all the instants/sorceries being run.

EvACiDe

Maybe add some unsummons to help you out early game. Along with negates/essence scatter

Weldrodson

Ok ill try to incorporate all those

While {Negate} and {Essence Scatter} or cheaper than {Dissipate}, they are more situational. That's why the majority of control play Dissipate. {Syncopate} would be a better choice than Negate or Essence scatter.

EvACiDe

Syncopate I don't think would be a much better choice, it's more expensive mana wise just for an exile effect?

But you're not limited to an instant/sorcery(Like Negate) or creatures(like Essence Scatter). And early game, Syncopating for 1 can be menacing, and cost the same as the other two. Syncopate late game is the suck.

EvACiDe

Gotcha, I c now. It's def better situationally than essence scatter/negate but dissipate IMO is better

Yes, Dissipate is the go to right now. Though my favorite is {Render Silent}.

Weldrodson

Ok I just added a ton to the deck so I'm gonna put up the current version

Render Silent is boss
