no but its only 3 bucks so i think i can afford to squeeze some in. thanks for looking
Whats the point of Merfolk Looter (Reckless Scholar would be better), Sage Owl, Sphinx, and ponder, they are card drawing, you should try to include more control cards than just Roil Elemental & counter cards.
Ok, so this is a REALLY good beginner's control deck, but the budget could be better. Those sphinxes arent the best card seeing as its both A: expensive to buy compared to a 5-10cent common card that is more control-worthy, and B: its just the top card. either way ur drawing it. sage owl is a better use. Anyways, pretty good mana ratio so not gonna comment on that, but those merfolk looters could be swapped with Reckless Scholar, and if this is a control deck, you should have some defense before those EXPENSIVE roil elementals come out (when one does, ur pretty much left helpless for a bit). I suggest either Wall of Frost 1UU(0/7 with control effects), Phantasmal Abomination 1UU (5/5 defender), or Guard Gomazoa 1UU (1/3 and prevents combat damage) to act as your defenders, and have a Distortion Strike or two ready to put on some of those monsters you controlled (or just even Roil elemental) to deal direct damage. All in all, this is a great starting point on a deck, but as always improvements can be made. personally, i like a nice cheap deck that costs around 5-15 bucks, so i like to keep the rares out to a max of 1-2. You can check out my three decks (one is a blue control, one is an artefact, and one is an ally) that i made with two boxes of about 250 cards i bought for 40 bucks. i used about 150 of those cards, and sold the rest, and in the end i really spent only 10 bucks for 3 decks.
