Deck Description

Ok me and a buddy were talking about the different deck ideas to run at the next up comeing tourney. we talked about u/b, G/w and finally B/W control. I must say I have never seen a deck quite like this and when i played it I have to admit i was really annoyed. So take a look and comment or like or both :).

Deck discussion for B/W Control

okay, first I'd consider asking yourself what do you get from playing both at the same time. If you need board-wipers, disruption and spot removal, you want to play black. What reason is there to play both colors in the same deck? You don't have acces to manlands in B/W, which are extremely important nowadays, especially in control decks. I'd decide taking out either color and replacing it with blue, giving you acces to manlands and better manafix with dual-lands, but most importantly a stronger card draw engine. Black and white are both capable of the same things, where black has disruption through inquisition of kozilek where white has access to oblivion ring, which is a great on-board removal card. You want to play a color because it gives you access to cards you can't play in the other colors in the deck. You don't have any counterspells or deck-digging spells, so I'd seriously consider removing either color to play blue.

Aside from that choice. I don't like the idea of having Leyline of Sanctity in mainboard. It won't help you out if playing against a deck like blue-black control or caw-blade, which both are the strongest decks available atm. Secondly, I don't like luminarch ascension in here at all. If playing luminarch ascension, you have to completely build a deck around it. Those two enchantments are really misplaced, and I'd switch them for either doom-blades or Vampire Nighthawk?the nighthawk is capable of keeping squadron hawks off of you, and will seriously help out against aggressive strategies like mono-blue illusions or tempered steel decks. Then I'd take out batterskull and replace it with Baneslayer Angel. Baneslayer angel would be the best reason in any white control deck to play that control deck. Batterskull was especially strong in decks were it was combined with Stoneforge Mystic. It won't do much here in this deck.

Solemn Simulacrum is also a card you'd really want to play. It gives you a mana-fixing and mana-accelerating ability. Solemn Simulacrum would (if it resolves) get you to 6 lands on turn five, where a titan or wurmcoil engine can be a really big problem for your opponent.

Overall, the deck list looks solid, aside from the fact that if you play a sideboard it must contain 15 cards. No less, No more. Also, try to make the deck 60 cards.

Ya the side board is 15 one slot didnt update right and this is my buddys deck. I do like the idea of swapping out batter skull. I told him it was stupid fit for this deck. And as blue he told me he wasn' worries about not countering spells. I like alot of the ideas u said and ill pass it on to him! Great comments thanks!

no problem pal, everyone wants feedback on the decks, and I just try to use my experience and deck-building skills to help other people out. This is probably the best feedback I can give.

If you don't mind, take a look at my decks? There are sure to be some nice tournament quality decklists to be found...
