I really hope you're right actually, but twin was the teck who keept Tron in line. Affinity it's a bad MU but not that much wiht pyroclasm, Oblivion Stone and, maybe, Kozilek return.
I feel, and i'm not the only one, that Tron will rise, making Controll even less playble.
Hopefully i'm wrong and UWR will shine next season ^_*
It's a good combination of early preassure and land denyal...on paper at least. Still haven't played with it but seems reasonable Mu. Do you think i'm wrong?
And now wiht Eldrazi Processors we're definetly dead... we weren't in good shape before, but now i've no idea how to play UWR controll anymore: gravyhard hate shout down Snaps/think twice/Logic Knot; remand actually helps them (XD). They also have discard too and big guys letting us hoping for wrats or path.
Any ideas at this point? Probably now Midrange seems better...or not?
I voted for Hive Mind ban: T2/3 titan can be killed by path/terminate/basically every-removal/bouncered/ tapped...ecc. Usually i can take care of Titan. It's hive mind+pacts that make the deck unfair according to my opinion.
About unbanning: i'm pretty sure that SFM can be a real thing but i'm worried that meta will shift in SFM+Bskull decks or Kcommand deks, -.-' it's not healty.
BTW AV shoud be unbanned: blue is demonized and, at this point, ridiculous. AV is unblelivable t1-2 good play, but horrible late game topdeck, but can actually help blue-based control, who really disappeared from modern since DTT Ban.
Good morning evereyone.
Recently i've abbandoned my uwr Gaist for full controllo build.
Yesterday i've maded a Good top8 (that was actually a top4 but i've lost a match for a silly mistake).
Later i'll make a small report and i'll have some opinion on some card choises.
I tried four Werebear (totally unrelated to hierarch discussion) and two Gurmag Angler along with one Murderous Cut but I guess it's a little antisynergistic.
I would say "very" out of character, seeing how Gurmag, Murderous Cut, Tasiger, etc. all have Delve shenanigans.
If only they wre modern legal i belive tarmogoyf woud'nt be so expensive guys
Here people went crazy: blue problems are not counterspells.
As a UWR control player i'll love to have some nice CMC 2 counter but real problem here is not that. In a format where a blu-based deck can't draw two fuking cards instant speed is obvious loosing. Look blakc: i'll LOVE to have even a blue Sign in Blood ...or, why not, a blue abzan charm? I'm getting sick about this, is not blue mages that are weanyng about counterspells, is that blue is unfaerly underthreated. We don't ask for brainstorm or ancestral vision, we need a dececent draw card: cmc 2 draw 2 sorcery or CMC 3 draw 2 instant.
We already found the solution on late-games trheats: we just need something to draw. I found oltragious the print of Jeskai charm...cmc 3 bouncer, bolt or lifelink? bleargh
Hi there!
First i'll consider Abzan Charm: is versitile, can save you creatures from bolt, can exile and make you some extra draw.
Scooze is for sure solid choise! I love anafenza too and i'm playng 2x, same for tasigur.
3x dismember is too much...think about it; same for hero's downfall.
About elspeth: i'm using new sorin wich is awsome; if you can afford duble W try the khint-errant: she is amaizing!
I'll look into abzan charm. Is there any reason as to why I don't want 3 dismember/hero's downfall? They're sort of replacements for path and deca as removal. I suppose I could choose some better ones, maybe. What would you suggest?
My main concern with ooze is that, if I have an anafenza out, then it won't be able to do as much. suppose it's still good. What do you suggest I take out for the scooze?
About Abzan Charm: help a lot exiling stuff, you can draw 2 extra cards in dead moments, and buff your own creatures if needed. Hero's downfall is nice but a CMC 3 removal is usually good in singleton more than multiple copyes.
About anafenza and scooze: anafenza exile only opponent's greveryard and this mean that you can recycle your own dead creatures! Scooze is nice 2 drop, consider it as replacement of Lions who are really slow.
Elspeth: i live her but 6 lands? Why not knight-errant? Or New Sorin? We play anough creature to use them nicely!
I'm not positive about it...

Is counterspell at any stage of the game, trust me.
