Any control deck usually my match ups are usually 70-30. Because my late game is usually ten times better. Plus I can mana ramp a lot fester. Affinity usually isn'the very good because ugin's minus can't hit them. I would say 40-60. Because I do play Repeal, and they usually can'take deal with Wurmcoil Engine. Infect depends on the counters I get in my opening hand. On the play 40-60, on the draw 30-70. I've actually never played against hate bears with this deck. I would assume (with the new build) maybe 50-50. Whoever gets going first maybe. Same with soul sisters. I've never played against it with this deck. Don't know the statistics. Kiki I would say 60-40 because my counters can stop their toolbox cards, ugin can destroy their creatures, and repeal can stop the Restoration Angel combo.

Lol, Whitest Deck Ever That's my take on tron, for you. Needs work but all but one player in my group are skrubs, so it's satisfactory for the time being. :)

ComboCrazy I'm actually heading to sleep. If I don't comment on it within a couple days tag me again and i'll look at it.

Okay. This deck here is actually looking really good, if I haven't already said so. Mono U tron is fun, never owned one but I borrowed one about a yer ago and it was the best-feeling deck ever. Playtested this one a couple times and it's just as good! ...Almost evil, I'd say

I know!! I'm actually very happy with the build. Still needs some tweaking, but overall on the right path.

I would recommend taking out a spell skite and adding another Thought-Knot Seer because spellskite is only useful in so many matchups.

I actually have been looking to add more Thought-Knot Seers in the deck, but Spellskite is a great blocker for two mana. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to playtest

Personally, I'd cut Platinum Angel. In my build of the deck it is just too fragile to take up a card slot and drain out your mana pool for a turn only to immediately die to most removal. I prefer Platinum Emperion as it is much beefier, not dying to Dismember from opposing decks such as Eldrazi Tron, along with Galvanic Blast in Affinity.

momo_2004 thanks for the comment. Believe it or not I've been thinking about that. Decks that I need Platinum Angel for generally can take it out very quickly. I've been thinking of Platinum Emperion, or possibly another beater and move the angel or emperion to the sideboard. Thanks man!

Pheardemons Also, another consideration for a big dummy is Endbringer. I have tried it in my build and it can be phenomenal against decks such as Affinity where they cannot afford to let it live. It can also be huge value in card advantage, but it unfortunately dies to Dismember without counterspell backup and can be too slow in some matchups. The same can also be said somewhat for Reality Smasher. This effective 4-turn clock can be a nightmare for other control decks, with all of its value when you counter their removal, effectively making them two-for-one themselves.

Also, thanks for sharing the amazing idea of Kozilek, the Great Distortion.

Another interesting idea I have tried, and is now working, is the addition of white. It is easy and comfortable to splash for my deck with 2 Celestial Colonnade, 2 Hallowed Fountain and 3 Irrigated Farmland. Though this does hurt with tempo, I have found this splash to be great, with an interesting and surprising sideboard option in Approach of the Second Sun. This also allows for the addition of Path to Exile and Sphinx's Revelation.However, with the drop in tempo and the extra vulnerability I do not believe that this version of the deck is more powerful, but personal preference is a factor as well.

I've seen other blue white lists, I'm just not a fan. Generally my list can beat them because my late game is better. Also, those lists tend to go a gifts ungiven route, which is just easily destroyed and hated quickly. Thanks for the thought, but I'll stick to mono-blue.

As for the eldrazis, I've tried them believe it or not. I've made, and seen, other mono-blue lists. They just weren't as powerful as eldrazis in general. I'm actually in the process of making colorless eldrazi, so I'll keep them there for now. Every time i wabted to add just on eldrazi it never stayed at one. I may up Thought-Knot Seer, but that's about it.

And no problem with kozilek. It was one of those things that ulamog was too much at the time so he was a place holder, now he's a keeper. He has done so amazingly well.
