I have had to retire my MUC Snow Control deck out of respect to my fellow players at my local shop(and it is a fairly small tournout, like 6-8). They saythe deck is like swimming through molasses(true!). So I am looking for a new deck to play.
The decks that I can currently build in time for the tourney are in the poll. I have aproximately 10 hours minumum that I can spend testing any new decks on MWS and so forth, so decks with moderate skill level are okay.
What do you think I should play and why?
EDIT: I can purchase/trade some cards, but not a heck of a lot.
It's not in the list, but Goblinstorm with Bottled Cloister looks good... it's fast enough to race the aggro decks you mentioned, the sheer quantity of creatures available defies most non-counter control and can bounce back from a Wrath relatively quickly, and Bottled Cloister will hose the discard deck utterly. You can make the deck without Pandemonium, and the rest of it is so dirt cheap that I can't imagine you won't be able to get it together.

i play blink riders and its a god deck to play
it should be able to kill all of thew decks
compulsive research replaces visions easily (sometimes its even better!)
bust/boom+flagsatones FTW
Has anyone played Mono White Proclamation since it sorta dropped off at Worlds? Seems like the amount of graveyard hate would murder it, but if not I might get on board (despite my lack of ***s, hehe)
Thanks for everyone's input so far, I have been checking out all of the forums on different decks and stuff, and I think it is between Dralnu, Blink Riders, and Mono Black Rack(I would put MGA in here but I have only 1 spectral force, no one else had them for trade:()
So I just found out that the guy who was playing MBC dropped it in favour of UW skies w/ Red splash, it has some counters, small fliers and burn(helix, seal of fire) and I think Pride of Clouds.
So what do you think is tops in thid meta now? Rack, Riders or Dralnu?
Dralnu is absolutely the best deck in the meta, but you should probably just quit magic instead of playing it, because it's a little pricey to build, and you can stare at the walls for free and have just as much fun.

Well I have all the cards, I just picked up a Dralnu for the deck(remember I was playing MUC and they share 70% of the same cards). But this is my conundrum: I stop playing MUC to play Dralnu? They're both ridiculously slow.:banghead:

Sell the completed Dralnu deck on ebay and use the money to buy and Xbox 360 and Crackdown, which is pretty much the opposite of playing a counterspell deck.

@System X; I don't have a thread, but I can PM you the list if you want.
And yes, I meant Jaya+Temper. Quite fun to watch peoples faces when you do that multiple times.

Looking for people to test T2 with me on MWS, Pacific or Mountain time preffered
:crying:After some testing with Blink Riders over the past couple days I find the colors to be just too inconsistent without duals. Too bad, doublelift had a really awesome deck that I was going to try out. Um, I was reading a report online at tcgplayer.com about UR Tron and I think I may try it (it'll be that or Dralnu du Louvre I think). I'm gonna be a little unique with the build though, having no wildfires I am gonna try boom//bust(and play four prismatic lens). What do you guys think of that sorta Tron?
Actually if you want to do that, I'd say you should probably just play UR Vore with Boom // Bust in place of Wildfire, because it's better in that deck anyway. Either way, I don't think it's a good idea to run Prismatic Lens. It just does too little, and anyway, if you really needed the color fixing, signets or Spectral Searchlight would be way better.

well the reason I considered lens is cuz after busting the world you need smething to activate signets. But Spectral Searchlight works awesom thanks for the tip, it can also be used offensively.
PS: Picked up me Dralnu today :), and another Force

Yeah, no prob. I think that's a very underrated card, actually. I'd really like to see that reprinted in 10th, so it can have a chance to shine without the signets around to stand in its way, but it doesn't seem very likely.

Underrated? True dat? I remember old mana fixers WAY back in the day that were like 4 to cast and 2 to activate, or 3 to cast and you only got one color as a CIP effect, plus they were one mana activation. The card is definitely a swell pick up in 3+ color control decks IMO.
Well, in an aggro meta, my Hunted Singularity deck should be able to top them... (There's little aggro could do to a 2cc 7/7 trampler you know.:D) Very cheap to build too!:thumbsup:

Links to a thread at all? And 1RR = 6? I assume you are using Jaya + Fiery Temper?
Appreciate the input, but I am retiring my old MUC deck because it is too slow and boring to play against, Pickles is even slower.
Hey look, that thread again. haha.
Has anyone played Mono White Proclamation since it sorta dropped off at Worlds? Seems like the amount of graveyard hate would murder it, but if not I might get on board (despite my lack of ***s, hehe)
Thanks to R&Doom For the Great Banner!
