MTG Salvation

But there's the thing: game 1 NO-ONE (and I mean no-one) will expect a Summary Dismissal on their Liliana or Planeswalker. Game 2, you side in Negate and if they're creature light, side out two Reflector Mage. That way, you can trick them to playing a value based game. When that happens, swing at her with a Voracious Reader (there may not look like a lot of card draw but you'll be surprised at how often you find two or three of him) and you'll have enough mana for two counterspells each turn. To keep the pressure on, I anticipate during my turn with Voracious Reader to find the next counterspell and swing for 2 (in Lily case) or 4.

I'll do some tests on Cockatrice (if it ever works) and put the results here.

That's nice. I'm going to open one million of these.

This Conspiracy set does not care about life totals at all. I like it.

Now just waiting on the two drop 1/1 faerie with flash that makes you monarch.

What would make this set perfect is full art basics.

I found that while he was a good finisher, it just is not needed in this standard currently. I'll change the thread title if I can to UW Homunculus Control if the name bothers individuals.

I beat R/W Humans handily. The point is to not become worried about always countering. Using Curious Homunculus to block a 2/1 creature and then bring it back with Ojutai's Command (and draw) is a solid move against them. I did that in my matches. Oh Always Watching? Counter it. If you misplay with this deck you will lose. I wish I could've recorded my matches to show how it works in play and not through this forum.

I should make a list of cards that shouldn't resolve or that you should get rid of when they resolve. As far as hands that I keep, I keep two land hands if I have Anticipate or Curious Homunculus. Three land hands otherwise.

Summary Dismissal can counter planeswalker ultimates and abilities. You shouldn't be tapping out more than twice on your turn with my deck (Curious Homunculus and one planeswalker). What is there to worry about? Lily getting to 7 then the look on your opponent's face when you counter its ultimate is priceless. Once they have less cards than you in hand, you're winning.

There's a reason why BW Control won the last Pro Tour. They didn't need the blue because that puts a constraint on the deck in general.

Leobold is probably my favorite legend in a very very long time. So articulate.

WHAT.
!!!!!!!!
Dude this is a power set. Holy hell.

My heart can't take these spoilers. My God talk about a value set.

Wheel or Deal plus Leobold is on curve.

My heart. It hurts.
They are trying so many different ideas.

I'm gonna be that guy and say that this was 2W.

Damn these mythics feel...mythic. Geesh that Elf ADVISOR is powerful. He'll go up over time. Gonna try to get some of him and Daretti is interesting as hell. That ultimate in EDH...lord. One Inkwell Leviathan is enough.

It probably says "for each played that voted time" and " for each opponent that voted money".

I mean I did pretty well on Saturday. I also play tested against BW control and Bant Coco. It's about knowing what to counter based on the way your opponent is playing and his confidence in playing spells against blue. If you get someone to think they won't resolve a spell, they'll misplay or wait until you tap out. It happened at least 10 times at Game Day.

Yeah. Scour The Labratory is an interesting card indeed. Maybe comparative analysis instead of Ojutai's Command? It could work.

The discount granted by Voracious Reader makes everything much more pleasing to the eye.

But delirium isn't what I'm trying to achieve with it. Yeah, there isn't much card draw but there was never a time where I didn't have more cards in hand than my opponent. Hitting Delirium for Invasive Surgery would be cool but not essential. Being able to counter ramp spells, Crush, Part The Waterveil, Harmless Offering, that tutor with spell mastery, etc for 1 is great.

I would like to see a control shell with Scour The Labratory in it.
