    Sanguine Bond needs to make a comeback. Rolleyes

    It's a bit slow, but it's one of my favorite cards.

    I would much rather use Liliana right now, maybe I would use Jace 3.0 after Jace 1.0 and liliana rotate.

    He doesn't really add that much to the deck.

    Assuming you want to play 4 of him, what would you take out of your deck to play him.... then think about if its worth it. He's a fun card, but I don't think he belongs in U/B Control. There are about a thousand other cards i would use in his place.

    Also, Vampire Nighthawk would be my choice of card for a 3 drop.

    There is already a thread for Jund, and it has gone over a lot of what is being talked about in this thread.... such as Bob and lavamancers.

    Quote from Blade332
    That's wrong. Card advantage doesn't mean draw spells necessarily. You can gain CA through sweepers, good play, and many other virtual/psuedo ways. (Life against a burn deck, for example.) Hence control decks that exist without access to draw spells.

    That being said, OP, you need to decide if you're trying to play control... Or that.

    Instead of going through the myriad options, I'm going to suggest you see Ali's first place list from U.S Nationals to get a good base to go on.


    By the way, here is his list. Click Here

  • posted a message on [scd] flame slash
    I actually have flame slash in my Goblin Deck, mind you it is in the sideboard. The reason why, is because at my local FNM there are 2 people that run knight decks. Against that matchup I usually sideboard in 2-3 flame slash. It is surprisingly good, it helps me deal with bladehold and many other anoying knights very easily, even when honor the pure comes out or some booster that takes some knights out of the lighting bolt range.

    If i was going to a huge tournament, I would probably pull out those flame slashes though, I only use them because of my local FNM meta.

    Also, Knights IS a deck. It's pretty good to...

    I would always keep 4 Inquisition of Kozilek. I usually have 4 Inquisition of Kozilek and 1 Despise. Also, I would switch the Frost Titans with Grave Titans, I feel like Grave Titans will always leave me with something more than any other Titan.

    Also, you might want to look into Tap Out vs Permission. Permission U/B control, my personal favorite, is more focused on spells over creatures. Tap Out runs far less spells and has more creatures. It all depends on how you want to play. Just look in the U/B forum for comparisons.

    I might recommend you look at this list That is probably one of the best U/B builds out right now. Also, Mental Missteps are usually in the sideboard, I run 2 spellskites in my SB instead of maindeck. You might also want to consider having one hard cancel, like Stioc Rebuttal or Cancel. Jace 1.0 is our best card draw, and Liliana is good. Some people like to also play 1 Karn, Liberated. You want board sweep for aggro. Black Suns Zenith, Consume the Meek, anything like that.

    Take out the 4 Inkmoth and put in Creeping Tar pit, also, take note that most people like to have atleast like 24 land, I myself run 25 in U/B permission deck.

    Also, you might want to sideboard those two spellskite, and put in Solemn Simulacrum x2 instead. They are just so good right now. Another thing, Signal Pest should not be in U/B control, they are for aggro decks really. If you want more creatures there are much better options, trust me on that one. You might even want to replace 2 of those Signal Pest with Dismember, which is just amazing removal.

    If I think of anything else I will edit this post, GL sir :p

  • posted a message on Counter question
    My friends are trying to figure out, if you can counter Soul's Attendant when it is coming into play with Psychic Barrier.

    Can you? I thought a creature spell was something that a creature had to tap for...or something like that.


    Thanks!
