Deck Description

Finally, I made a UBR Control deck with NOTHING to do with NiBo :D !
Heavy, heavy, HEAVY on counters so I can play fortress early on and psych up to drop the Titans.
TELL ME WHERE I COULD BUILD THIS POOP FOR CHEAP. I WANT TO COMPEEEEETE! :'(
Took out BSZ for Sorin's Vengeance 2-8-12
Added Chandra to SB 4-26-12

wow, this is the public's favorite deck by far. Keep it up. Love the recognition, guys.
Also, if you know any site cheaper than cardkingdom, link me, baby!

in standard. At fnm. I've wanted to since inni' dropped in september. and frost . phantasms, but on the right track. I was thinking i could poop out saprolings w Druidic Satchel and fortress my way to turn 8 and drop a Titan.

you have to get extremely lucky with that, that was why i suggested the two walls and fnm is a draft so you would have to do practice draft

wha? she's awesome... she kills illusions, and most other weenies, else she mindcontrols them... she should more or less be mindboard imo...

Pointless, deeznuts.
Her ultimate lets me yoink. her reg - which i can spam at my liking to make her SUPAHPOWERFUL, sets me up to STEAL opponents larger threats. naturally, that's endgame though. I'd have to sit on my thumb and wait to suppress Traft before I start ANY kind of midgame push.

let me make it clearer for you, i dont see how she fits into the deck because almost everything prevents your opponent from summoning or doing something, and i never said that she wasn't awesome, for what his deck does she doesnt seem to fit.

i guess i am just not seeing it, but if you believe she works then i cant say any more nor do i want to be a jack ass about it. so if she fits into your plans go for it you got my support form now on.

well, she's sided until I encounter a deck where yoinking becomes a more effective means of suppression than terror-ing or drawing.

Well like that other guy said she is great against illusion decks because as soon as she targets them they die so that's one of the decks that becomes completely shut down

green decks with big things. Usually we'll both be on turn 5/7 before getting big things out. ... YOINK! Kein probleme.

shit i just thought about it if youcombine her with the terroring and drawing she is good because its just sitting there turning opposing creatures into vamps and then when you want you can take them. PLUS it is another gamebreaker that they will have to deal with and potentially forget about her with all of the other threats in this deck....WELL DONE MY FRIEND!!!

I like the control, but what do you do if they get out Thran or any other sort of hexproof? I see this and a possible slow start as the only problems. Otherwise, +1 from me, great job dude!

Black Sun's Zenith, Day of Judgment, Phyrexian Metamorph, Phantasmal Image. They all kill Traft, Thrun, Elesh Norn, etc.

How's meta do it?
I can't target him period?
Or is that a CHOOSE ability?

also kill him with ratchet bomb!

phyrexian metamorph can kill him because its ability is a 'choose' ability, not a 'target' ability. Therefore it goes through shroud and hexproof. Also, since you make a copy, it kills off legends.

Frankly, I don't see the point of having red in here at all. First of all, you're running 14 red producing lands, but all you have is 2 inferno titan and 2 incinerate.

If you're running red, run slagstorm. It is the best red control card in standard. Otherwise, just drop it, add a karn and a few nephalia drownyards, MAINDECK BSZs, and you have a nice UB control deck.

If you're upping red, though, take out a few titans, add chandra, and maindeck olivia. Sorin's Vengeance + Chandra = game.

OH. that was to another guy.
Do you mean Chandra Nalaar, or Chandra Firepants?
I think BOTH are standard Legal nowadays.

I would drop red.vwould do a lot for your mana base, which would make the deck extremely cheep, and then you can run massacre worm and make it a BU control. You also could drop black and make it a RU control, and run that acacyn restored loot land. That would be cool. So, if u want to make the deck cheaper, drop a color

Cheaper than cardkingdom.com? starcitygames.com or trollandtoad.com...
I've never ordered from star city, but i've had more than one fuck-up from troll and toad so i finally stopped doing business with them unless they are the only ones who have the card i need. Cardkingdom's layout kicks ass and they are always quick on delivery!

Gratz on front page dude! And I'd stick to cardkingdom if I were you. I use them and I've never had problems. They're also cheaper than a lot of shops out there and always are quicker than I expect on delivery. Sometimes only 1 or 2 days I've had (in California). So I think they're worth it.

no snapcaster? i dont think frost titan is too relevent in standard right now try batterskull or wurmcoil engine. or maybe even olvia voldaren she is great also you REALLY NEED curse of deaths hold and or ratchet bomb in your sideboard they just shot down tokens and delver and red deck wins so quick especially the curse

Snap is A BITCH to find. and even worse to buy individually ;_;
I LOVE HIM. Thanks. A lot of people didn't like my inclusion of OV. Ratchet Bomb touches me in ways i don't like. Thanks for your consideration.

i love olivia she can shoot down pesky tokens, dlevers birds etc. while pumping herself and since you playing a 28 land deck you can easily do some mind control shenanigans on big dudes like elesh titans obliterators etc. shes awesone. and yahbut really try side boarding one or two curse of deaths hold they are nasty in the current meta and dont take a big hit on your wallet

Can recommend that if you are going to be running stories vengeance you should run a Chandra firebrand case her minus two on that would be gg. Also it can be very useful in general to clear tokens and there a lot of thing that you can minus two like doom blades gftt incinerate and dismember

I agree.
Threw up a seperate deck designed with her in mind.
