I'm wanting to build a control deck around Disciple of the Ring and am wanting to use Rise From the Tides as my wincon. However, I'm worried that disciple flies to far in the face of rise from the tides if I use its counter ability. Does anyone think this as well?
What is a possible alternative/ better blue control wincon?
The two cards are directly at odds with each other.
I probably would not put these two cards in the same deck anyway. Apologies to fans, but Disciple feels just a rather underwhelming to begin with. Where's the payoff, exactly?
All things being equal, I would probably recommend Sphinx of Jwar Isle here or, if you must have a Morphling-analog as your finisher, maybe go with this one instead.
No, I totally get that, I'm trying to suggest that the benefits, even under the best circumstances, basically never give you enough oomph to bother messing with him in the first place. Compare that to a 'fire and forget' card like Jwar Sphinx or one that just kills you like Aetherling.
Remember Ojutai Exemplars? I got a very similar vibe off that card but he seems way easier to work with than the Disciple.

Thanks as always for any help

The payoff is in control. Disciple gives control to the owner though counter and board manipulation

This is just a rough, top of my head, ideal. I will obviously need more spells and I'm thinking of adding broken concentration. Any advice?
