Standard Control Options

Even at 3 it's useless if I ran siege and played it T3 and let Sorin resolve I have to 2 for 1 myself to get it gone (sure siege helps) but not enough IMO it's too Janky

[Quisequise]

Here's a real janky one. How about  {Cranial Archive}

[Nohcus]

Siege is not that great.  Good against burn and mirror not good against other decks that control needs to worry about.

[Mattao19]

{Cranial Archive} is so close to going into my SB .... (As a 1 of) but ya it's decent in the mirror lol

[Nohcus]

It is in my sb for mirror only.

I just feel that {Grindclock} is better tbh

[Nohcus]

Doesn't grindclock just fuel delve?

I've been playing 1 siege, and you never play it on 3. You play it when the board is clear, normally turn 6, holding up downfall or dissolve. It isn't the greatest, but it really helps against mardu, R/w, or any deck that has some sort of reach

Combined with ashiok

You will mill them if you can control their board

[Mattao19]

Doesn't matter if it fuels delve to me bc I only mill them once I've gained a commanding lead and have counters back up I know it's not ideal but control has yet to receive the AEtherling we deserve!!

[lotrwk]

Yeah clock is a real clock in the mirror

Pearl lake is good. Its not as overpowering as aetherling and with good reason: lack of low cost removal in current standard makes aetherling stupid powerful. So much more
Mana in this current format also as more midrange decks are present as opposed to RDW splashing white for double boros charm...
