Deck Description

This deck is straight control. The counters do damage to opponent and gain you life with absorb, dromars charm punish ignorance etc, as well as Cruel Ult doing damage, gaining life card draw etc plus its extras.
I basically Let opponent play small creatures 1/1's and 1/2's early in game to save some counters for turn 3-4 when they play bigger spells and let them attack with the 1-2 small creatures i let out. Maybe your opponent has 2-3 small creatures and you let them get you down to 10 life around there as you build your hand up.Theres always the Exile cards i run to take creatures off the board or the damnations an DOJ's. Then you have the 6 lands that turn into creatures to help either finish the opp off faster or if need be to block.
Either way this deck lets you dictate what happens all game and you always feel in control. NOTHING IS BETTER THEN TO KILL SOMEONE WITH A COUNTER!!! ex: undermine, punish ignorance lol anyways enjoy the deck feedback is welcome.

Deck discussion for Death By Counters literally

dude, this seems like a neat idea, but Im telling you straight up- its never going to work. why? not fast enough.

it wont take long for people to see what your up to, then you'll have everyone break out their Lightning Bolt decks. How are you going to outrace them?
4x Daze
4x Force of Will
4x Counterspell
these 12 should counter just about anything, and they play FAST.

4x Countersquall
4x Undermine
4x Punish Ignorance
4x Vindicate
4x Damnation
4x Cruel Ultimatum

now the lands:
4x Scalding Tarn
4x Polluted Delta
4x Underground Sea
4x Badlands
4x City of Brass
4x Watery Grave

yeah, I know I took out the man-lands. you dont want to be mana screwed by a Doom Blade. its a bad place to be. If the counter wall, the vindicates, and the damnation somehow dont get everything, there's little chance that the man-lands would have helped, since everybody has some way of getting rid of creatures in their deck.

first off, the deck does work i win all the time with it, and second yes a burn deck would give it a run for its money but any deck that doesnt win on turn 1-2 is going to struggle against this and probably lose. I Like your idea using delta and tarn to bring out mana faster, that would help for sure. Only thing i don't agree with much is man lands. Its going to take you almost 3/4 of the deck to be played to do enough damage to win and thats coinsidering the opp isn't running counters either. Your deck is a little to much defense not enough Offense. Ive played over 200 games with this and as i said ony decks that will beat it consistly are deck that can win turn 1 or 2. If someone brings out a burn deck so what, let them bolt away lmao. They play 5 spells to maybe get me down to 5 hp. Plus a burn deck will be top decking by then while i have a hand full of counters. by then i have atleast 4 mana out and i can counter everything they throw plus im gaining life with punish ignorance, dromars charm gain 5 life, cruel gain 5 life you are very narrow minded to think a silly burn deck wud beat this.... but thanks for input
