I love your list, Vash. I have a fairly similar build. But due to some budget constraints, I don't have Mana Crypt, Metalworker and Mox Opal yet. I have yet to try to proxy them. What would you suggest swapping if you don't have those?
I very much agree too, that flyers are the bane of this deck, and Thopter Assembly is probably the only thing you can do, except if you run Pentavus (the tokens of course). And it's a bit troublesome at times that your Thopter count won't increase on turns.
hey risk, any updates on this deck regarding the newer expansions? I like this puzzle deck. It's HARD, but definitely fun. I love it when my opponents concede because of the current board position haha!
You may also wanna check Omni's Similar Build and mine as well. Link on sig. Am not much updating the thread at the moment until I get a few more cards to test
The winless decks I've built have been absolutely the most oppressive control decks I've ever seen in EDH. UB seems to be the stronger of the two because it has access to creature control that mono-U does not, but if you took out 2-3 cards and put in win conditions you would get there. The best way to make "The Ultimate EDH Control" deck is, unfortunately, to create a meta deck since most of what people will suggest here may or may not work for you. The fact that Night of Souls Betrayal is complete house here doesn't mean that it will do anything elsewhere.
Indeed. It purely depends on your meta. Seek their weaknesses and they shall fall
to those who love sejiri steppe like me, you also might wanna consider vesuva, and/or one dual karoo lands from ravnica like simic growth chamber for EOT crop bouncing steppe.
Looks like a timmy card for me, it's definitely strong, Imagine Elspeth, Knight Errant's ultimate without having to wait for the long loyalty counters. But like some of the suggestions above, I don't think Avacyn has a definite place in this deck type. Moreover, Is it just me, or I can see Worldslayer in her hands lol
How is Blinkmoth Urn working for you? Have you tried this with Clock of Omens and Static Orb for a one-sided benefits?

of course, you can also check a slightly similar build on my sig. Works extremely well on 1v1, but will be a bit sweaty on multis.
epic deck is coming.

another vote for Azami.

any new good stuff from the recent expansions? Totally not updated from AVR and M13
My Rafiq also has a very slim chance on multiplayer. Let us know how your new additions play.
