I ran a B/W control deck for Provs, I went 2-2 and dropped, but it did what i had made ti to do, hose Ravager and B/x control ( iwas expecting more than there was). Here's the list, if i can remember it properly:
Land:
9x Swamp
10x Plains
3x City of Brass
Creatures:
3x Kokusho
2x Yosei, The Morning Star (should have been Horobi, but i had none at the time)
4x Solemn Simulacrum
3x Chittering Rat
Other:
3x Wayfarer's Bauble
3x Reciprocate
2x Purge
4x Ghostly Prison
4x Death Cloud
3x Pulse of the Fields
3x Rend Flesh
4x "something" I cant remember what, more than likely it was Night's Whisper
One thing I can say, Prison is GOOD, specially vs affinity, hope this helps.
Ok, here's the deal, WW likes this card. WHY does WW like this card? Because it's not the best aggro deck. There's a better one out there. This means that WW has to have control elements in order to be able to win, because otherwise it will fail to know it's role. A 2/5 spirit link will trade with or kill frogmites and arcbound workers (trade with if they're equipped with that annoying hat, otherwise just kill), while gaining life and time. Time is what WW needs right now, because it's just not the fastest aggro deck. Actually I'm not sure it's even second fastest, but this also works nicely against sligh. Sure, the card's bad when WW needs to race tooth, but hey, it helps one matchup, it's at least a sideboard card.
But it doesn't really need help in that match up, Its already got a good first game vs affinity, and just gets better with sb. TnN on the other hand is almost an autoloss for WW, no sense in making that any worse. Though Terashi's Grasp may change this a little bit... (this also improves the affinity match)
Wildfire's said it best. If i get this in limited will i hesitate to play it? Not a chance. but I won't give it a second glance when I turn to constructed.
The fact alone that it lets you safely run Samurai of the pale Curtain in a multi colour deck is reason enough to play it. Nice little card, sensei is still probably a better play, but there's nothing wrong with this guy.
