Deck Description

After looking at M12, I am actually excited at the potential of a standard "prison-like" controllish deck for casual, yet competitive, play. So far, I've found a couple of really cool combinations and cards to lock-down the game, but would really appreciate any and all help to try and make it viable. Thanks guys :)

Deck discussion for New-Age Control/Prison?

Iam liking this Deck,

mana barbs i didnt even see was reprinted,

This deck looks ok, But i see temperal steel decks a problem, or Fast creatures 1st few turns, you can kill a few off but flying would hurt, iam thinking maybe Slag storms or Dismembers (pay the 4 life) for 1 its dead ... Also What do you think about prodains, Scry 2 Draw 1 , Rather then Draw 2, Sets you up better, you can cast some stuff to the bottom, to get rid of it

unfortunately, Preordain isn't coming back in M12 so it will cycle out of standard. Slagstorm is excellent to deal with Kuldotha and Dismember is an awesome way to kill off any problem creatures. Thanks for te suggestions :)

i like norn's annex here, and the card advantage looks nice. maybe instead of cathedral membrane, you could put in wall of omens.

wall of omens is an awesome wall. The card advantage it brings is really awesome here too. As for Leyline of Sanctity, it too is cycling out when M12 hits =(

Why Jace over Venser? Use Venser to bounce stonehorn? Or you can protect stonehorn by o-ring, then use Venser to bounce to the o-ring during your turn, causing stonehorn to tigger then he disappears when o-ring returns.
