Deck Description

Hello,

this is my version of a american controll low budget deck. The main win condition is to controll the opponent with everything you have and to bringt out some creatures to punish him.

How to Play

You play tis deck like other controll decks.
You win with a combination out of controll of the opponent and Medomai + Illusory Angel. On the way to finish the game, this deck give us the abilities to hold the opponent at a low level of creaatures.

But i struggle with this deck. Its favores three different colors which is pretty though because of this i need a large mana base(24 lands) und evolving wilds. I would like to reduce the mana pool to 20 lands but its hard to realise. What do you think about it? I really need some advices for this problem. Other advices are also welcomed!

Deck discussion for Jeskai Control Low Budget

Never made a 'budget' deck before, I just find some cards are out of my price range and dont include them... That being said, I'll try to help as best as i can.


If you want to cast anything over 2 on time, you'll probably need 23+ lands... at least in standard ive found i get stuck on 2-3 lands for so long sometimes, so i really wouldn't try to cut lands.

Main question I have is, how are you planning on casting illusory angel? t4 magma spray then her? t5 lightning strike or tormenting visions? If possible, I'd try to replace that, not sure if its supposed to be a blocker or a win con but you cant really use counters to get her out.
In her spot, I'd try something with flash, like cloaked siren(0.13), hushwing gryff(3.13), jeskai barrier(0.15), pearl lake ancient(1.15) so that you can use your counters on their turn or play your threat eot
I'd go with jeskai barrier if you want blockers, and cloaked siren if you want a flyer

If you just want a hard to deal with flyer, you can try cloudform. It has a smaller body than the angel, but it can come out 2 or so turns earlier.


Another thing you could try is adding some more card draw to find your end hostilities and other gas cards. Treasure cruise should be cheap and should work pretty well. you are mainly running sorceries and instants that fill up your yard so you should be able to fuel it pretty easily.


I hope these suggestions help.

Thanks for your advices, illusory angel is a part of my win con. But it seems to be not that good. what would be your conclusion for this spot as win con?
And the tipp with treasure cruise is nice, tanks for that!

Prognostic sphinx is a great win con . 0.61$ a card. it can protect itself, filters draws, has evasion, somewhat decent power, big body for blocking.

Np, I was just bored and wanted to help.

Why don't you like prognostic sphinx? Its pretty much everything a control deck wants in a win con (though its not as good as aetherling or pearl lake ancient which are even more resilient win cons)

If its because its more expensive than angel, and won't fit under 20$ then theres stuff you can do...
If you want that then, cut medomai and angels, add in 4 prognostic sphinx, and 2 weave fates or some kind of cheap card draw.
