This is an old list of mine that I haven't evaluated in a long time.
The idea behind the deck was to be a fairly typical Mono U control list, but focus a bit more on creatures. I feel like this kind of got away from me over years of iteration.
The deck is top heavy and directionless, and I want to fix that.
I'm open to swapping generals out if anybody chimes in with a crazy idea, but for now I'm thinking about refocusing the deck and doubling down on creatures.
If anybody has any great creature suggestions for Mono U, particularly with lower CMCs, I will be very grateful.
I'll be scouring the resources on this forum in the meantime.
1. Control deck;
2. That uses creatures;
3. You want a lower Average CMC;
4. Has Kira at the helm;
5. Uses theses cards.
And this seems to be the order of priority. The first three can be done with Azami, no? An Azami Wizard control tribal(not the all creatures are Wizards/I play all the Wizard, but Wizards probide synergy) deck could do everything you want. It seems most of your good creatures are good for their ETB abilities, which means that Kira doesn't do much (You don't care that Much about your Draining Whelk once it's on the field, you can't even close it.)

Azami?
1 and 2 might switch, but yes, that is ultimately the priority.
I'm hesitant to switch to Azami because I fear she is a little too strong for my pretty new and casual playgroup. I do love me some tribal though, so I'm considering it. Thanks.
If you want a creature based deck in mono blue, I highly recommend Thassa. And if you're interested in tribal, she works quite well with tribal merfolk.
What are your thoughts on Frost titan? Personally I love the guy espically if I can get a sword of X and Y on him as the counter the ability part but that might just be me so I am curious on your thoughts on him.

I was actually thinking of testing him in here, but I forgot. I may slip him in. He might be redundant with Kira though.

I personally think he would be hilarious as he has semi-hexproof in that fashion as it counters the first spell then has to use extra to then remove only to have you counter the spell with a counterspell. And then he taps down stuff making him even better as a swords carrier but then again this is comign from a guy who loves playing colors in ways the oppose thier wedge style like monoblue aggro and monogreen control

I didn't really end up refocusing the deck, but I did make some quality improvements.
I'll probably just leave this as is for now until I'm inspired for some bigger changes.
