American Control Standard Help

by KJSJ3 on 29 April 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

This is a deck that my friend wants to make so I posted it on here for advice. Any thoughts?

Deck discussion for American Control Standard Help

My only comments:
It needs some Clifftop Retreats
Dissipate > Cancel
Invisible Stalker > Latch Seeker
More Hands of Binding, Hidden Strings isn't as good
Add some Azorius and Boros Charms

1) Ditch the cipher. ignoring the latch seeker you don't really have anything your going to be attacking with(i wouldn't play the latch seeker either) also the whole your not really gonna be attacking thing means Aurelia isn't really going to help.

2) You need draw, if a control deck is ever top decking you've lost.

3)Burn spells where are they? Killing a creature is in just about every case is infinitely better then tapping it or detaining it for a turn.

4) Ral Zarek is not going to help you out. You'd be better off with Tamiyo the Moon Sage.

5) Add more land. Luck is always there to mess with you up and 19 land will not cut it i'd recommend at least 22 but 24 would likely be best.

6) Dissipate is better then cancel period.

I can't say that I disagree with any of the comments so far.

If I may make a suggestion, this seems to be the best way to go with American control atm, unless you're going for more of an American flash deck, in which case you need restoration angel, among other cards. Anyway, this deck won the SCG open this weekend. http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=56106
