Deck Description

A standard U/W Control deck that focuses around Stonehorn Dignitary and doesn't let your opponent have a combat phase. Use Venser to Blink him and add some control in to make sure it goes off correctly and then you just swing in with some Gideon and Sphinx action.

Let me know what you think :) I will be testing this at FNM soon after M12 is released.

I don't usually run control, so if you're a control junkie please help me make this better!

looks good, was contemplating the same idea for my venser/gideon deck.

Thanks! Yeah I'm pretty excited to see how this does. The only downside is this deck gets destroyed by other Control decks (esp U/B). But with Mind Sculpter out of Standard I'm hoping not to see too many other ones.

Well, imo I'd rather have the Sphinx than the Titan. I know it could fetch up Tec Edges and O-rings but the draw is just too good along with the flying.

Well, I tested it at FNM last night and it was pretty insane.

Match-ups:

1: Lifegain Deck. They had 52 life and I had 8 before I locked em down and got Venser's ult off twice. I went 2-0 against this deck.

2: Valakut. This one was tough but I beat it without a SB first match, then lost the second, then won the third with Leylines and Lockdown. So I went 2-1

3: R/B Aggro. I went 2-0 with a first match lockdown and a lucky SB topdeck of Leylines/Ratchet Bombs.

4: White Weenie. Crushed it 2-0. Lockdown both games with Venser's Ult.

5: U/W Pure Control. I got crushed lol. Counters up the ass and got beatdown with Collonades and White Sun Zenith. 0-2.

So out of 5 rounds this deck went 4-1. Another control matchup crushes this deck and Valakut is hard to deal with if you can't get Leylines out. But if you're facing a creature/combat phase based deck, it's almost a guaranteed win if they can't get you down by turn 4.
