2-1-2 (Shoulda been 3-1-1)@ FNM —Dec. 20, 2014

Got wrecked by Jeskai Ascendancy/Tokens, but who really doesn't?

I made a complete noob goof under pressure in G2 of another match (I forgot to +2 Ashiok which would have milled my opponent's deck for my win), so I wound up drawing the match.

This deck isn't Cruel Control, no matter how cruel it is or how not fun it is to play against. Cruel Control is Modern-legal UBR control that has a finisher of Cruel Ultimatum.

Holy Jesus, OpenFire, are you going down the line of new decks in this hub just to tell people it's wrong? Obviously it isn't your description of cruel control but how can it be when it is also standard.....you should take a break dude and just make your own deck...

OpenFire, I was always under the impression that Cruel Control was any deck that was based around killing things and ripping opponents' hands apart. While this doesn't necessarily embrace lots of the latter, it does plenty of the former. That said, I searched under the Cruel Control category on the site and there are clearly many, many decks under that heading that aren't Cruel Ultimatum decks, did you post that on all of theirs too, or am I just lucky?

thewyzman You are mistaken, much like many of the other people in this hub. It makes it easier for me to find actual Cruel Control decks when ones like this being out of the hub. One of my pet peeves on the site is mislabeled deck archetypes. How is Jorubai Murk Lurker working out for you in the sideboard? Stain the Mind seems like it should be useful if you can catch a Jeskai Ascendancy player unprepared. Also remember Stain lets you see their hand.

thewyzman, he/she is just a troll who can't make their own "cruel control" deck. Oh well nice work in progress here though, I like it!

Hey thewyzman, look, now he is all butt hurt. Too bad there isn't a dislike button for decks. :P He went and copied a modern "cruel control" deck and put his own description in.
