I mean sure, she and I are acquainted, but to just jump the gun and...

Oh, sorry didn't see you there. What was I talking about? Uh... Never mind.

This is my first deck on this site, as it is my first attempt at control. That being said, I'm wondering about just going back to U/B, but there are so many good cards that I currently have! So feedback on whether I'm trying to accomplish too much would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, this deck is on a slight budget. I'll pick up the additional card here and there, but have no inclination to pick up 3 more Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  's or more fetches than I already have. Most everything seen here I've either pulled or bought at my local game store for cheap.

This deck might be considered unconventional due to the "fun (1)-of's" I run and the odd cards (ex. Jace's Sanctum), but it just makes the deck a little more fun and different every time I play it. I also run Dark Petition's due to not having the $ at the moment to buy more expensive cards. If you insist on me getting rid of some of those cards, feel free to tell me!

Furthermore, the Maybeboard is 99% other cards I own, so switching them in would be easy. However, if there are cards you think are crucial, feel free to tell me about them in the comments and they might be added to the Maybeboard, if not the Mainboard!

Any criticism is welcome and encouraged. Thanks again, everyone. May your rolls be high and your crits be many.
