Rashmi, Eternities Crafter!! are ya bored yet?

What I have here today ladies and gentlemen, is a blue green card drawing durdle machine. It is said that control cannot "hang" with these value decks and combo decks. They say you just lose card advantage. They say it is impossible. But I say nay! What if we took our turn when everyone else takes their turn? That's like 4 turns a cycle. That's like wow.

So what are we doing? We gonna grind! That's right kids, we are going to out resource them all. No instant wins. No fast win. We Are Grinding.

Deck breakdown

We can separate the deck into 5 catagories. They are; - Ramp - Removal - Counterspells - Card Draw - Recursion

If your a control based mage and are looking for some good ol' slow magic, then look no further as Rashmi, the your turn is my turn general, is the deck you have been waiting for.

First up we got Ramp. We need to keep our resources high so we can play spells on everyone's turn. Ramping whenever we get the chance is crucial.

Ramping is the Key to Victory

• Sol Ring because it's EDH
• Simic Signet
• Rampant Growth
• Nature's Lore grabs untapped Forest
• Farseek
• Harrow grabs 2 untapped basics
• Cultivate
• Kodama's Reach
• Skyshroud Claim grabs 2 untapped Forests
• Thought Vessel no max hand size

Got Pests? Call the Exterminator.

We have all sorts of removal spells. That is good because we need all the help we can to stay on the winning side of that advantage bar.

Single target

• Pongify
• Rapid Hybridization
• Nature's Claim
• Reality Shift exile creature with minimul downside? Yes please
• Snap essentially free. use offensively or save your own guy
• Beast Within
• Krosan Grip
• Capsize late game it can just win the game

Mass Removal

• Cyclonic Rift because blue
• Evacuation

Now let's just draw ALLLLLLL the cards

Best way to stay ahead is to have more cards. So, let's do some drawing

• Opt
• Quicken nice to end step Mind's Desire
• Sensei's Divining Top really good synergy with rashmi. You can draw with it to then hit it off the trigger and cast for free. Helps get advantage when playing 2 cmc spells
• Ponder
• Preordain
• Serum Visions
• Brainstorm helps set up rashmi triggers
• Mystic Remora drop it turn 1 and pay till you can't. You will be so very far ahead
• Impulse
• Search for Azcanta  
• Sylvan Library
• Blue Sun's Zenith nice x draw spell. If you find your self with multiple High Tide and Time Spiral copies, you can mill someone out
• Frantic Search essentially free
• Rhystic Study u gonna pay 1 extra?
• Dig Through Time + Treasure Cruise delve away. We have so much redundancy that you shouldn't be scared of losing something to exile.

Anti-Magic

What would a control deck be without counter magic? Dead most likely. Let's see what we got.

• Arcane Denial
• Counterspell
• Mana Drain can ramp you into really early game enders.
• Disallow pesky walkers get blown out by this guy
• Dissipate
• Force of Will most of the time it's essentially free to cast. You will have the mana to hard cast it too

Recur, Recur, Recur

You wanted to play forever right?

• Noxious Revival + Reclaim good recursion, great value when in response to rashmi trigger
• Seasons Past should just be called "Do you concede yet?"
• Time Spiral nice reset. Combos nice when u make copies of it

The Rest for Value or to Win!!

Modal Multi Modes

• Cryptic Command
• Mystic Confluence
• Primal Command

Planeswalkers

• Jace, the Mind Sculptor
• Nissa, Steward of Elements
• Ugin, the Spirit Dragon

Tutors

• Mystical Tutor good value in response to rashmi trigger
• Intuition fun to play around with the 3 cards.
• Personal Tutor

Scary Enchantments

• Mind's Dilation hit or miss. Feels insane when it works. Feels bad when it doesn't. Better with more players
• Swarm Intelligence game ends not long after this sticks

Creature Beats

• Nezahal, Primal Tide draws cards like a beast, nearly unkillable and no max hand size ummmmmm yup
• Sphinx of the Final Word

The Storm is Coming

• High Tide
• Aetherflux Reservoir
• Mind's Desire

All else fails, tokens tokens tokens

• Metallurgic Summonings
• Fable of Wolf and Owl

That's all folks.

All in all your basic game plan mentality should be "will this kill me? Do I care about this? Will someone else take the heat?" When in doubt, pass the turn. Stay non threatening best you can. Remember you have a 39 point shield from the get go. So go on and make our simic overlords proud.

I hope this has helped you see the power of control in EDH. I thank you for reading and would appreciate the upvote. Any suggestions welcome! The list is constantly being adjusted and tweaked so check back for new card choices.

Thanks all ! Bearclaw out!
