I like the deck and thought the name was very clever.

I don't want to be "that guy," but "cruel control" is for Grixis decks utilizing Cruel Ultimatum.

oh thx The_Redpill for pointing that out. I thought it was for decks that where very evil in controlling.

PixelAlex yeah, that's what a lot of people think, and that's probably what it should be used for. Though some may argue that it would fit every control deck :)

PixelAlex says... #4

The_Redpill yea probably. I mean the controll is only controll if you are not the one playing it

thx IzzetFanatic for the suggestion.
Brago, King Eternal seems like a better Galepowder Mage and especially qith Vensers unblockable ability is seems amazing

IzzetFanatic i just checked and unfortunatly he doesn't seem to be modern legal. But whith that kind of power it is understandable

I wish Brago was legal in this deck, but alas, he was not printed in a modern-legal set :( Oh well.

@Recover819 the problem with Reveillark is that he brings back only 3 creatures wich aren't really that relevant when they die.

the new Reflector Mage might be badass in this, for a more controlly feel.

Your average CMC is way too high for 20 land. You probably need at least 23, if not 24.

Splashing a whole color just for one card, whose job can be done better by the mono white Kitchen Finks, is a bad idea. I really do not count nest invader as a card, because using a card to flicker a bear and get a 0/1 is far from impactful.

I would advise you to check out Azorious MORPHine trip.

More Akroma, Angel of Fury and for gods sake, 4 more Flickerwisp are needed here. Venser, Shaper Savant and Detention Sphere are also quite cool.

thx for your comment Boza it was really helpfull.
i looked at your deck and i must say it looks quite different from mine. I think the green is cool because i play this deck casually mainly and thragtusk is just a lot of fun. However i completely forgot about restoration angel and flickerwisp. Flyiers are a big problem for my deck and they would be an aweseome addition.
But one question: why is venser good? i don't really get it. i mean its like a worse remand with a worse flickerwisp.
PS: i don't really like akroma. I want this deck to work even without blink effects during the game when i get unlucky

Venser, Shaper Savant is probably one of the best creatures in the blink deck:

1/ It can act as a Time Walk, negating any play your opponent makes.
2/ A blink-able Remand is a reusable remand.
3/ It acts as a swiss army knife, switching between Remand and Boomerang as needed.
4/ It is amazing when paired with Venser, the Sojourner!

wow why have i never though of Venser, Shaper Savant as something i can blink!!
I always thought of him as a worse Flickerwisp. No he is going in definitly
