Erase can be moved to the sideboard. I would also drop Kill Shot and Pillar of Light in favor of Devouring Light. I wouldn't add Perilous Vault: you're better off running more End Hostilities. I would also drop Interpret the Signs for an additional Dig Through Time and an additional Treasure Cruise, or perhaps Jace's Ingenuity. Medomai doesn't seem to be doing much here: sure, taking two turns in a row is nice, but your protection for him consists solely of counter spells, and you haven't got too many ways to abuse those extra turns unless you have another monster out (In which case it really shouldn't matter.) I feel like Dragon's Eye Savants or Nyx-Fleece Ram could be useful; fatties like those stop aggro decks dead, and they both have useful side effects attached against other deck types.

I think you're off to a good start here, though; will be testing against my LD deck here shortly:


Sarkhan, the Landbuster Playtest

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try to get my hands on some of those cards soon.

I have a very similar deck right now. I like the Elspeth ugin split, mine runs 2 ugin 1 elspeth,but that's because I only have 1 elspeth and would definitely swap the second ugin out for it. I was running 2 each of dig through time, treasure cruise, and jace ingenuity, but recently swapped out the jace ingenuity for anticipate. Anticipate has been the best card in the deck so I would slam 4 in and go from there. Dig through time is also infinitely better than treasure cruise so running 4 of those would be a good change as well.In my experience resolute archangel is just unnecessary. It costs a ton of mana and dies really easy. Our lands do plenty to keep us alive, add that onto the 4 main deck nyx fleece rams I currently run and you have a really solid defense. Post board is where it gets tricky because erase is a thing. The only thing keeping me from using this as my main tournament deck is the lack of a solid catchall. If we had reasonable replacements to banishing light it would be an amazing deck, but losing a BL with a sarkhan or outpost siege is pretty much gg. Definitely a fun deck to play with a lot of decisions, but we are about 1-2 cards off of a tier 1 deck

Ya, I definitely agree with you about Banishing Light. I stopped updating this deck a little while ago because I build a Jeskai Control. I am playtesting an Esper Control list that I feel may be a little bit better, if you want to check it out it is here. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/29-03-15-IKl-esper-control/Thanks for the tips!

Would you consider Pristine Skywise I have never played control so if it is a bad suggestion I am sorry

April 5, 2015 12:32 p.m.

Ya, I think Pristine Skywise might be a decent card. I'm not sure if it would be mainboard or sideboard though.

If you were to update this, what would you include?

May 11, 2015 8:51 a.m.

Not sure exactly, I'd move [Pearl Lake Ancient] to the sideboard though. Two to three [Dragonlord Ojutai would be a good inclusion. I'd throw in some [Anticipate]. Replace the two [Jace's Ingenuity] with another Dig, and a [Dragonlord's Prerogative]. Also, I would replace [Nullify] with [Ojutai's Command]. Maybe try to find a spot for one or two [Aetherspouts].

May 11, 2015 7:50 p.m.

Well, sorry about that. I absolutely failed with card tags.

That's okay, thank you!

I need to add anticipate, but I don't know what to take out

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/12-05-15-wDW-uw-control/

May 12, 2015 11:32 a.m.

I'd say drop the Resolute Archangel, 1 Dissipate, and both Jace's Ingenuity. I also think you might want to only run three Anticipate, and also add in a single Dragonlord's Prerogative.

Okay thanks so much! I've updated it. Let me know what you think!

Thank you for all your help!

May 13, 2015 10:44 a.m.

No problem! In your deck just switch out a sideboard Negate for another sideboard Glare of Heresy. (You have 5 Negate in your 75)

a lot of this isn't standard anymore

April 21, 2016 2:49 p.m.

Sorry, I stopped updating it for a while before it rotated out. I will take away the tag now.
