Updated!

This deck finished in our league 5-3. All the loses were to heavy blue control. Against creature decks, this thing is a dream.

The plan: Get lots of value from ETB effects, and bouncing o-ring, D-sphere, parallax tide, etc, to lock them out of the game. If a board state develops, things are looking bad for the other guy.

The problem:This is my first french deck, and although I have tweaked it a ton over the last 8 weeks, I want to see if it can stand up to a true control deck. I am looking for suggestions here. Anything mid-range, or creature based, this deck does well against.

Thanks! Suggestions and comments are welcome!
