First attempt at a control deck that can be played in standard, this has only been played against other casual players and i was hoping for some tips on how i can make the deck look more professional. The deck is based on stopping opposing players from really being able to do anything whilst you turn their decks against them.
This deck has been viewed 1,277 times.
Id start off by kind of cleaning up your main deck. Get some more Wall of Frosts, throw in another Pacifism, add a Cancel, drop Dispel and add Deprive and get more Halimar Depths. Get rid of Kabria Crossroads, add another Sejiri Refuge. 2 more Sage Owls would be nice. You really dont want to be running with one or two copies of of a card, you really need three or four so that you dont just chance getting one. The main thing is your lands. Id suggest splashing more white in. Theres a lot of control in white that would be really nice, like Path to Exile. Two more Clones as well and another Sphinx of Magosi. Id also suggest Glacial Fortress because it taps for blue as well as white.

Sounds like a plan, but i'm not sure which other cards to drop? Also do you think Calcite snapper would be of any use to fend off early attacks as the deck gets going?
If you want something to fend off early attacks Id suggest Kraken Hatchling, its a good turn one defense because its a 0/4. Also, you dont really have to drop anything, you can just sideboard that way its there if you need it when going against certain decks
Also, you could just take out the white and go with just blue control
my main problem would then be the absence of Pacifism and a way to get rid of enchantments, unless you can suggest some good blue alternatives?
What enchantments would you be worried about? If you go mono blue you could put in enough counters so that you can just counter any problematic cards and throw in Mnemonic Wall so that you can get your counters back. Right now you only have two white spells
I never looked at it that way and i guess you can apply the same logic to the pacifisms
Ok what do you think to the new deck design, better?
I prefer mono blue over blue white. With UW you mainly remove your opponents creatures, but with U you can keep them on the field if you want to and then Clone them
Gdgd, thanks for all your help, i am alot happier with the general look of the deck now compared to before, i just need to buy enough of some of the cards to make this now lol
No problem, and you shouldnt have much trouble getting your hands on most of the stuff, nothing thats really all that rare
yeah i expect my local store should stock most of this at a reasonable price
Another thing, do you think it would be worth throwing a few Into the Roils into the deck?
Id sideboard a few in case there are a few things that you would rather just return instead of counter. I like them because you can return something like Halimar Depths from your side of the field so you can get the rearrange again as well as bounce something that they would play again and tie up their resources
Is there anything you might suggest if i were unable to get hold of clone?
Maybe Renegade Doppelganger or Echo Mage. Also, for defense you might consider Guard Gomazoa.
