there was a very small event in our shop, and i managed to do 2-1-0 with a mono-blue mill deck.
haven't played standard constructed since aether revolt, so i'm excited to go to the game day.
basically i have 2 options:
- turn the mill deck into UR, something like this: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/700506#paper with minor tweaks for our meta
- go with mono-blue gearhulk control (all the counter and card draw, and basically win with gearhulks)
our meta will look something like this:
- one UR control
- one grixis control (basically UR + splash for Nicol Bolas)
- one esper control (some homebrew with lots of counterspells)
- temur energy beatdown
- some kind of mardu midrange
- GR energy (pummeler, cub, fling, etc)
chances are REALLY slim for someone to show up with ramunap red, as everyone long traded away all those rares, that are played in the deck, maybe one guy could possibly get half of one
in an unknown meta, i would be inclined to play the mill deck, but knowing my meta, i think the control deck is better.
the main reason i'm asking the question is that i almost exclusively played control in standard, and don't really know how such combo deck would fare against so many control decks.
thanks
