YFW you play against this
Always liked the control aspect of magic and with Fatal Push promo coming up I wanted to brew some standard. My biggest issue is I have no local meta to help tune but once I acquire the rest in person will start bringing to my lgs. Want to use this to help polish this deck and take any ideas !
The Deck
If your looking for the T4 or T5 game ending combo this deck is not for you. This is a grindy control deck with ample hand disruption and removal to hold out to late game for Reality Smasher or
Remorseless Punishment
to close out the game.
Challenges
When to counter
Confidence in casting spells are always a issue with a control deck. I try and combat this with discard spells that reveals opponents hand, taking out the question if you should play a discard sorcery or hold off to remove a creature or draw cards. Knowing when and what discard / removal spells should be cast, will be one issue faced with the deck.
Win-con
Winning is also another challenge in that we don't have many ways to kill our opponent, 9 creatures to be exact, a issue I am trying to balance between discard and counter spells. Update added
Remorseless Punishment
for possible wincon and Gonti, Lord of Luxury
Yet to Be played
As stated above not having the complete psychical deck limits me playing it against people so I am not sure some of other challenges with the meta. I will update once I have played at lgs.
This brew is currently simmering in that I have several variations consisting of dimir, esper, delerium focused, and artifact themed but I feel this is the most coherent.
Really want to run Herald of Anguish but cant find out how to incorporate artifacts into the discard theme to make the improvise mechanic worth while. Thinking of throwing 1 in due to long nature of the decks play style and his end step ability being so oppressive.
Thanks for reading and any suggestions are greatly appreciated !
Update
added some creatures to sideboard against more aggro decks.
