Works great, I've only lost twice with this out of 20+ matches. Constant Board sweeping and Jace ftw. Iona is another win condition, but most of the time it's Jace after i've used Martial Coup. I recently added Leyline of Sanctity to protect Jace from direct damage and myself from Valakut decks. Also swapped out See Beyond for Foresee. Against RDW i swap cancel for flashfreeze and deprive for redirect. Leyline helps too, i usually swap out two O-Rings.

Wow, I love this deck, I wouldn't mind building something very similar. I would have to modify it a little cause I only have 2 Mind Sculptors. What did you have to pay for all the other cards not including Jace?

I managed to buy one Jace when the set released for $60, the box of boosters i bought was nice enough to have two in it and the 4th one i traded a Sorin Markov for. Thank god my friend has an unfathomable amount of hatred for blue, or trading for that would have sucked. Iona i got in a random booster, Leyline, i got one during the prerelease tournament, everything else i kept my eyes open for deals at my local store and bought them when mispriced or traded for them of other people. The deck is killer. I've been beaten down several times within range of being killed by a 1/1, but then i cast a board sweep and maintain control. It's absolutely brutal. If you play an aggro deck of insane speed, mulligan until you have a board sweeper in your first hand. Small creatures add up quick these days.
lol two jace's in one booster box. you lucky bastard. =D
Rated 5.83? Seriously? I've beat RDW, Jund, Valakut, Bant, Vampires, Allies, and just about every other type 2 deck with this... Are you guys not grasping the concept or what?
By the way thanks for your help with my mill deck I just reposted it and have been modifying it, if you could please check it out and see what you think, thanks, as far as your rating goes I think people underestimate control decks until they play them.
everyone grasps the concept dude, its just not that original. there a hundreds if not thousands of deck almost exactly like this on this site alone. you werent the first person to think of using jace the mind sculptor in a blue and white control deck.
Back when i made it though... you know... a YEAR AGO... wasn't too common yet
Wow, I missed this deck. I'm gonna' filter through all your decks Drummer & rate 'em. Yeah, I don't know why b*tches be hatin', this sh*t is powerful what you have here. Plus the Sideboard helps on match 2 if ya' have to. I'm puttin' this control beast @ 9.8 stars personally. Again, good job man.
i strongly suggest 4 counterspells, its literally just cancel for one less mana.
I definately agree, unfortunately this is a T2 deck
I love this set up. Unfortunately I only have 1 Jace, the mind sculptor. But i do have a jace beleren. No Iona, but a playset of baneslayers.
Once upon a time a nubcake named Aaboy66 went out to his local comic store to try out a new game named Magic: The Gathering. After 5 seconds of trying to find the coolest looking pre-constructed deck, he decided to chose a deck called Future Sight: Fate Blaster. The first spell he ever played in the game was a spell called Foresee, which Aaboy66 apparently pissed himself at the awesomeness of the card. True story. Onto the deck, I really don't see anything I can say to help, after all, this deck and mine are very similar. The only spell I just don't understand is why you chose Deprive over Mana Leak. Maybe this was before m11, so you might wanna change that. But then again, I am a huge troll of cards like Daze and Force of Will, so of course I'm not going to like Deprive. Also, this is more a personal question but, why do so many people use the lands from Unhinged? They cost $8 a piece, and they really just don't look that great. But, that's just me. Nice deck regardless.
Deprive and Halimar Depths are awesome together...
*Facepalm* How did I not realize that...
I donno, it's favorite combo of mine... you might get set back a turn on land, but you know what's coming for the next three draws...
And it just makes Treasure Hunt that much greater ;)
Looks like a really great deck Im new to the site and tryed to put my deck up I'm running a Jace Control deck if you wouldnt mind taking a look and giving me any pointers that would be great
only 2 DoJ? Oh, and you should look at a list of CawBlade, it's really good and it's not that hard to morph your deck into (stoneforge mystic + Sword of Feast and Famine is bonkers).
You have absolutely no red at all, so why in the world would you include a scalding tarn?
blue -.-
I like the deck, but I realllllly think you should find a spot for Gideon. Once you stabilize with him and jace on the board, game over. He's just so good. lol. Btw, congrats on top decks. (:
Should replace Cancel with Stoic Rebuttal for that small chance of 3 Chalices.. It's just a better card.
Here's an idea, cut the scalding tarn, add an island
You really don't get the point to Fetch Lands, do you?
Seems kinda ridiculous to take out a card that every turn can give you another land, untapped.
seriously?! who wants to sac a life just to find another land and thin out their decks....it just sounds to smart =D.
I wouldn't mind playing a match or 2 against this with my Elfdrazi Trap deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=90041 You're mildly wrong on one thing. In a way, Deprive picking up Halimar, you lose a turn on land, and 2 turns worth of the mana. It does have it's uses though.On a side note though, the above comment stating that Stoic Stoic Rebuttal was better than Cancel is very true. Stoic is basically Cancel, except that if you do have multiple chalices out, it becomes counterspell
This was built almost a year ago... think about that time frame. I am not even running this deck anymore...
i'm pretty new to magic, so i might be missing something, but why cancel and deprive instead of mana leak, rune snag, or counterspell. also i suggest 4 path to exile and 2 journey to nowhere, get rid of the oblivion rings
One key reason why Oblivion Ring is better than Journey, is it's ability to hit any nonland permanent, aka planeswaklers.
fetch lands equals deck thinning. dont be stupid. its standard as well so dont suggest stuff that isnt standard? Awesome deck. Mind looking at my infect control deck? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=156129
Don't be stupid. This deck is not standard legal.
Top of Front page, good job. Did you know that if 2 jaces are on the battlefield at the same time, they both die? You might want to cut one jace.
jace is the main win condition of the deck, four is a must. Thanks for the congrats though...
This deck is just like mine almost card for card I know this deck works great now it will go on crushing type 1.5 decks lol got to love Jace!!!!!
not a fan of everflowing chalice, just throw in preordain, or jace's ingenuity. Also Gideon ftw....!!
I don't get it, how does this work?
This deck isn't standard people! Alara has rotated out
At least you caught that... i built this almost a year ago...
Rotate Martial For Phyrexian Rebirth and O Ring for Journey or Arrest (Hooray arrested blightsteels!) Awesome looking deck. Looks like it drags out to a snails pace and goes for win in the slowest possible ways. That's my favorite part of control decks :D teh sufferin'! Oh and swing by my page and rate my decks!
Didn't notice the paths, so swap o ring for Journey and path for Divine Offering or Arrest. depending on situation.
Disagree. I'd take the O Ring over Arrest any day! Unlike Arrest, it can hit an Emrakul. Also unlike Arrest, it stops cards like Elvish Archdruid from still providing a bonus. However, the biggest reason is that unlike Journey and Arrest, it can also remove artifacts, enchantments, and of course planeswalkers like Jace! O Ring is incredibly solid.
@ Edna - Oblivion Ring can't target Emrakul. Unless you have a colorless Oblivion Ring lol
Looks pretty solid overall. However, if you're playing extended, why not use the filter land from Shadowmoor? It would help the deck a bit more with color fixing. Also, one of the best cards to play in extended right now is Cryptic Command. It totally trumps Deprive by far. Even Mana Leak typically does. For the Sideboard, I would suggest 4 Kitchen Finks. They are amazing against any aggro deck and even survive your own wrath effects while bringing additional life as well. Overall it looks pretty good, though.:)
Wow... So, I just looked back to the comments which I'm wondering if anyone else really has so much. Drumhead will probably be quite surprised to see this deck that is over half a year old coming randomly back into the Top Decks slot and shooting off with comments. Funny how that works. Sorry if you're not bothering with this deck much anymore and my comments are all basically just wasting your time. I didn't realize that this was just an old format deck and was commenting on it, along with the rest of the crowd I guess. haha.
I kind of suspected as such when he kept talking about how it was T2, with Paths and Martial Coup, and Oblivion Ring, but I just let it go, lol.
It's all good... I've been on a break from magic for over four months... Right now i'm looking to trade/sell a good majority of my collection (mostly newer stuff) and start collecting what i want (mostly black cards from ages passed) and the other oldies. I more interested in Legacy and Vintage now. I realized i was spending a fortune on cards in standard just to have them rotate out later and all my cards i've collected up to this point are not usable for the most common format, so i said eff that and now i'm focusing on playing with whatever i want for casual and/or Legacy and Vintage.
this deck does seem pretty good, however, I feel U/B control is better. Seems more synergistic. If you want to make the deck standard. consider, swapping journey to nowhere for Oblivion ring; also, Phyrexian Rebirth for marial coup, or just add 2 more day of judgements. Add 2 mana leaks instead of path to exile or oust, condemn, etc. I also recommend preordain over foresee, it's an amazing card. Good luck, and hope that helps.
Nice deck, liked. Would be interesting to see how it'd fare against my Lock Mark II.
Check out my deck based around the new Tezzy! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=157786

WOW! Really nice deck. I wish I could click like on it more than once.
That is one of the best comments i've read in a while on here. Thanks!
Foresee is a slick card. Happy to see it has a home here.
samperson has deleted this comment.
Wow, I walk away from magic and this site for a while and this deck exploded... Umm, i donno what to say, most of this is rotated out, but uh, thanks for the comments and kind words!
