Deck Description

This deck is built around a simple, but ageless concept. Make plays, deny plays, and turn guys sideways (otherwise known as Tempo). UG Counter Aggro uses a well balanced combination of cheap and efficient creatures and counterspells to establish an ever-growing board position while your opponent struggles to make plays. The name of the game is card advanatge, which is gained through cantrips, 2 for 1s, mechanic abuse, and a bit of ramp. There is no one card this deck relies on to win, and there are very few things this archetype can't deal with. This deck is beautifully simple, and can be remarkably effective, regardless of match-up.

How to Play

Affinity - 50% pre-board / 90% post board (I actually haven't lost a game post board yet, but I must leave room for error) 12-5 Overall

Jund - 60% pre-board / 70% post board (Bloodbraid Elf is your enemy here, but otherwise not much to worry about) 6-2 Overall

Living End - 66% pre-board / 66% post board (Sideboard needs tuning for this match-up, but more often than not I have counters for LE) / 4-2 Overall

Melira Pod - 70% pre-board / 85% post board (Pod never lives post board, pre you still have great answers for their curve) - 5-1 Overall

Rock - 75% pre-board / 75% post-board (I haven't teched for this match-up yet, but I havent had to...too easy to stop their plays) 3-1 Overall

RDW - 50% pre-board / 75% post board (Similar to affinity in unanswerable speed, but Kitchen Finks, PtE, and Spell Snare out of the board helps a ton) 7-5 Overall

Splinter Twin - 75% pre-board / 85% post-board (Their protective counterspells don't stop Venser or Mystic Snake, gg) 7-1 Overall

Zoo - 60% pre-board / 60% post board (Can't find any real advantage or disadvantage here, just happy to be winning) 9-7 Overall
