HI there, this is my first deck published on tapped out. I wanted to know what you think of it, if you have the time even try it. I believe I managed to keep it a fun to play with(and against) deck as I like them but with enough control, more than i usually like to use btw, to keep it relatively competitive.I only play with friends, no tournaments or serious competitive play therefore I don't use discard cards(thoughtseize ecc) as a personal preference, don't bother suggesting them, I realize the potential but I find they slow down play:)

The main source of control is supposed to come from counterbalance and sensei's diving top plus sensei's top interacts nicely with Thassa and his scry ability. Hidden strings is excellent in tapping and untapping Disciple of Deceit for his inspired ability or lands if necessary although I am planning on finding a substitute (right now I'd say Pemmin's Aura )that does that at instant speed; what kept me from doing so is that I noticed that most of the time I aready control my draw enough and having two more mana with each attack each turn is actually more useful. I even kinda cover the discard aspect of control with Oona's Blackguard with modest results and the damage boost coming from him is sure needed.

So if I'm pretty set on some choices there sure still is place for some finetuning and new ideas.Initially I considered 3x Steely Resolve and it wasn't bad at all in a few games but then I favored thassa and more control as a substitute for Dolmen Gate and the protection coming from steely+I neded a more effective way to do some damage (since i don't do much even now).

about the lands let me know if you think i should run more of them, I believe it works this way, in particular because of thassa and sensei's top that make it possible to find lands in the beginning and put the second and third thassa on the bottom of the library.
