U/B Control always holds a place in my magic heart. It's just so good, I mean black can wipe the board, while blue can control what goes in and out. Perfect balance! And now with the new infect cards, I think infect may be the better choice for control. No more pesky lifegain getting in the way. Control is.. well, control, but infect is more aggressive. So this should be good.

haha i was actually thinking up a deck similar to this! but i nixed in favor of my landcry deck! this deck looks pretty solid mate, i would rather thoughtseize to duress but i guess thoughtseize isn't standard anymore is it? either way it looks pretty nice
Thanks man! (: And yeah, i would love thoughtseize. That card is amazing, even the artwork is fantastic. But sadly it's no longer in standard :[
I don't honestly think infect is that great for UB control. Honestly, I don't see many situations where plague stinger really is ever going to help you much. Sure, you can drop him turn 2 and kill in 10 turns... But a control deck doesn't need to ping like that for the win. I'd rather wait a few turns, stall the board out, and drop Grave Titan! Grave Titan can even kill faster than Skythiryx anyways. Flesh Eater Imp is too slow (4 drop) and you don't really seem to have enough creatures to really make it worth playing. Also, the Decimator Web doesn't seem to make much of a difference either. With just that, they die of poison and life at the same time as being milled typically... Just doesn't seem like any of those matter in a control deck like UB with Grave Titans and whatnot. Sorry to be so harsh on this. I'd love to see you totally prove me wrong, but for now, I believe that the normal UB control deck is still just amazing as it was, and actually will just get worse by adding poison. Good luck, though.
As a side note... If you do continue to try the poison route, I would add a few Contagion Clasps to the main. They power up your Jaces, take out an aggressive dude, and poison the opponent as well when you have extra mana up. Contagion Engine would probably work in the SB against decks like elves and boros.
Thanks for the comment! And yeah, I love my other u/b control, but I'd also like to see how this one works out (: when i actually get all the MB cards and playtest it, I'll tell you how it went :3
This(alongside turbo-demigod) have inspired me, I plan to make a bant deck once more to challenge such awesome! I really love your work, it's inspired me to go back to extended(I refuse standard), and make something truly experimental once more.
Thanks man! :D Glad I could do so. :3
i suggest dropping the Flesh Eater Imp and just running your four Phyrexian Crusaders
i've found decimator web to just not be worth the cost and there are much easier ways to proliferate and stack up poison counters, but i guess it really depends who you're against. inquisition of kozilek may be a stronger card then duress for early game, due to its ability to remove creatures as well
to dagbaker and titanwalker, i have no intentions of actually building this deck. i was just seeing how it would look on paper, lol. im currently investing in my boros battle cry (: so although i do appreciate your suggestions, i don't really plan on constructing this deck, as infect is still weak
i would also suggest to run tezzeret, aob to make your inkmoths a 5/5 infect creature
