I have been playing I-N-S's build and like playing permission a lot. It just seems like there is no coincidence that at worlds there were 3 U/B control players with better than 4-2 records and there was no permission builds at worlds (or at least none did very good). It just seems like tappout has much better match ups against the field than permission. Do you guys feel the same way?
I still think that running spreading seas in the deck would be a good idea because it draws you a card and it can slow down valakut, MGE, and vamps and those are all very good decks. I think maybe taking out negates would be a good idea because I don't really see myself using them very often.
I ran I-N-S's deck list for a little bit so I was using 4 jace's ingenuity. But I was looking at the worlds deck list and they ran spreading seas and jace beleren. There is a fair amount of valakut at my local shop so I was wondering if anyone knows which one is better.
I want to get into playing UB control but I am not sure which deck to play. Where I play for FNM there are a lot of aggro decks like RDW, elves, vamps, and poison. The permission build that won states in california looks like a really fun deck but I don't know how good it is against aggro decks. I was looking at some older forums when I saw Antoine Ruel make a UB mimic vat control deck which looks pretty awesome and looks like it might be better against aggro than the permission build. Here are the decks with me changing them a little because i cant afford 3-4 JTMS.
I just went 3-0 at my local store and opened a grave titan and want to put it in my jund deck but do not have the money to get another one. Do you guys think I should take out 1 of my 3 broodmates for 1 grave titan?
I was drafting with my friends and I drafted fauna shaman and I realized how powerful of a card she actually is. So I built a deck based around her and it looks like a pretty fun deck.
After SoA goes out of standard I am not sure what deck to play. It seems like RDW is going to not be as good after SoA rotates out. Turbo land looks pretty promising but Time warp is rotating out which is pretty big in that deck. There is also U/W control but that is very expensive if you want to make it good. So to all those people playing jund, Bant, etc. what will you guys play when SoM goes into standard. (Im am sure SoM will add some promising decks)
I am running 3 broodmate dragons but the titans seem really fun to play but haven't really tested them out and was wondering if any one could give me a hand. (I'm not sure if this matters but my deck is running 26 lands with no ramp.)
I think I should either keep the broodmate's. Put in 3 inferno titans for the broodmate's or put in 3 grave titans.
It seems that spreading sees can really slow down ramp and valakut. And it also replaces itself, but I dont see any decks running spreading seas. Why?
aggro.
