Perilous Vault instead of Fated Retribution in side.

Perilous vault is a very good card for it's baord presence

Singing Bell Strike or Oppressive Rays instead of Encrust in side

Jedne2 What about the whole deck?

Well it beat my grixis control 2-0, both times you got out your pearl lake ancient.

The final battle was a bit of the toss up, but i gave you the benefit of the doubt (I was wondering if you'd cast Banishing Light on my Keranos, God of Storms if you did, you'd have died to Mindswipe

I don't like Last Breath too much, but you need creature removal.

Kill Shot is pretty much a weaker Banishing Light so idk consider it?

Dauntless River Marshal because you may want more early game presence.

Pillar of Light in side would be good.

Spirit of the Labyrinth could be good vs control. but that's a maybe.

Brimaz, King of Oreskos is great in white, better in control as it spawns tokens

I don't know why you have Mystic Monastery Flooded Strand would do so much better.

This deck does very well against creature based decks, but not too crash hot against control, mind you, it's still good.

Jedne2 Thanks for your suggestions.

I have Mystic Monastery instead of Flooded Strand because I don't have enough money to get a playset of it.

Anyway thanks again, I'll take every advice into consideration

Nice deck, second deck that use Pearl Lake Ancient in main, instead of using Stormtide Leviathan . I know he s more expensive CMC but I guess he is really a bomb. I know that Flash make Pearl more easy to keep him alive but still, If you are control you can wait for 2 more mana to keep leviathan alive. Still really nice deck and cheap, +1. Look my U/W control deck plz

My only thought would possibly be more copies of Resolute Archangel in the sideboard. I've found it to be extremely powerful against a bunch of matchups. +1

Played it against my Friends With Benefits deck, you went 0-2 against me. You didn't have any way to get my walkers off the board, except banishing light, and both games I had Utter End in hand to remove banishing light the same turn you played it. That being said, i could never remove your Prognostic Sphinx or Pearl Lake Ancient , so theres that. I don't know what to tell you to improve on, as it still worked superbly, you just ran out of answers before I ran out of walkers.

Signal Pest Yes, I need to get more answers against planeswalkers but that isn't a big problem right now because in my lgs there aren't much superfriends decks so yeah.. i'll manage to fix that aspect anyway

Have you thought about running one or two Treasure Cruise ? It seems like it would go well, with you putting all of your other instants and sorceries into the graveyard you'd likely be able to cast it for fairly cheap.

Not a bad choice at all, but I'd prefer two Dig Through Time (I still need to get them) as I can choose my answers and three Weave Fate for my draw engines.

I started with a U/W shell, but ended up adding black for Esper (The Rogue Shard of Tarkir ).

The extra colour opens the door to many more removal possibilities, such as Hero's Downfall , Utter End , and Murderous Cut . Drown in Sorrow is also a huge sideboard card against Goblin Rabblemaster and other aggro decks.

I really like Last Breath and I'm glad to see you using it too. Dealing with Goblin Rabblemaster before he gets out of control is a huge advantage.

Looks good, and I would definitely acquire a set of Dig Through Time as fast as I could if I were your. It is just an amazing card. +1

MarlukTheWise says... #15

Thanks for the +1 TheHroth, I'm happy to get a good opinion by you, I already saw your deck and I like it very much. Dig Through Time is definetely my next buy ahah

Replace the 3 Weave Fate s with 3 Dig Through Time , all in all looks like a good deck idea

I think you are a little light on land and a little heavy on win-cons. (8 win cons, not counting Jace, seems like a lot for control, compared to the 1 or 2 AEtherling and 1 or 2 Elspeth).

As for lands, I would run 26 or 27 since you want to hit your first five land drops to End Hostilities if needed. With all your card draw, you don't risk being flooded.

Lastly, I have a stupid question. A few commenters like Signal Pest and Jedne2 appear to have play-tested a match-up against your deck. How did they do that? Is there a website people use? I would love to know about it! Thanks.

you click the playtest button on their deck and the playtest button on your deck.

@gyakuza

Open both playtests in different tabs and just play out your turns.

mainboarding 4 Last Breaths and more Nullify would be optimal. cut Prognostic Sphinx entirely.

MarlukTheWise says... #24

Davik100 Cut Prognostic Sphinx? Absolutely no way, thats one of my win conditions.

Davik100 says... #25

MarlukTheWise Elspeth, Sun's Champion is much more efficient than Prognostic Sphinx. You only need one of the two.
