Deck Description

I normally hate playing control decks because there's almost no point. I don't really like locking everyone down because then the game isn't at crazy as possible. This one, on the other hand, combines frustration and strongarm tactics rather well. Build an army while they sit back and wait for the end to come.

Lullmage + Intruder Alarm = infinite creatures and counter spells
Visara + Thornbite Staff = infinite creature destruction (just in case the infinite countering is taken out)

Deck discussion for Control that's actually fun to play

Cool deck. I'd replace the dual lands for other dual lands. I find the counters take too long to get on to be useful.

I thought the same thing about those dudes until I used them. They're INCREDIBLY versatile. It's nice to only have to pay 1 mana of any color to get off a Counterspell. Yeah, thy're cumbersome, but the possibilities are overwhelming.

The storage lands are pretty useful in your pre-draw steps... Add all mana you haven't used to the storage lands, and untap all of it. You'll sooner run out of counterspells rather than mana. Especially since you don't have to remove all counters at once.
