Deck Description

After playing 2.0 at a FNM, this is the new version which strengthens up the serious weaknesses that I found.

An explanation of the deck;

Blinking out lands with Venser while an Admonition Angel is out is some serious removal.

Everflowing Chalice to alleviate the burden of casting my expensive creatures/walkers while leaving mana open for control. At turn three I can put a counter on this and still be able to use a 2 cost counter.

Admonition Angel +Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds combo for exiling two permanents in one turn. Upped this to 4 Admonition Angel because she really does wipe their board quickly.

Lots of card advantage due to Preordain, Wall of Omens and Mr. Mindsculptor. Venser can also blink out Wall of Omens for extra card advantage while removing any possible control enchantments on it, too.

Venser can allow beefy flyers to be unblockable and blink them out if they are being controlled by an Arrest or something similar.

Silence is always good to have around for obvious reasons (protecting your mana during your turn or making them ffffuuuuu during theirs).

Mystifying Maze for more creature control.

Sunblast Angel for more creature control.

4x Cancel, 4x Mana Leak to even out the early/long game. I found having 2 and 4 of each respectively was too weak late game, which this deck should like. Leak for early, Cancel for late game.

Day of Judgment is an absolute staple for clearing out their rabble.

--Sideboard--

Celestial Purge is mandatory for the amount of Black control being played these days.

Linvala saved my butt a few times with all the ability creatures about, mainly myrs, elves, Necrotic Ooze being the nastiest in a mill deck.

Flashfreeze mandatory to replace Mana Leaks versus all the stompy green and red aggro decks about.

Leonin Arbiter to slow down fast mana-ramp decks.

Revoke Existence would be insane not to have with all the artifacts around and people splashing white for control auras. My creatures are expensive and required to be available to swing/exile so this helps with those pesky control auras.

Deck discussion for UW Control v3.0 - Plz Comment!

It's still pretty nice, but it appears that this one is much more reliant on the Everflowing Chalice. I like the card, but it's really bad when your only(and very needed) ramp card is able to be hit by ONE Cranial Extraction.. Also this build feels more like an angel deck than a straight control, and could do with some final tweaking.

Not to mention that if they have the mana for a memoricide (meaning that I more than likely also have at least the 4 mana) and they use it on a chalice they have some mental problems or something. LOL

Temporal Adept is a nice card to stall out your opponent if you are running low on spells in your hand.

unless your playing standard, then don't worry about Temporal Adept. (wizards needs to reprint that card.)
