This is for all the control players out there. This deck concept made an appearance at SCG Baltimore (7/30/2016) piloted by Michael Lehman who finished 18th with his Esper Starfield . I made a few tweeks and have had really great results. The two Clash of Wills over Anguished Unmaking as well as Declaration in Stone over Grasp of Darkness in the main have shown results in the current meta. Lumbering Falls can be a pain so i bring in imprisoned by the moon as a way to deal with its having hexproof. I have also taken out Transgress the Mind from the main in place of Descend upon the Sinful because believe it or not, 4 board wipes weren't enough and delirium with this deck is very possible leaving you with a potential 4/4 flying blocker for your planeswalkers after exiling the board. In addition to Planar Outburst it provides another board wipe that cant be answered with Spell Queller I also chose to run 1 Sorin, Grim Nemesis in the main to allow room for 1 Jace, Unraveler of Secrets. In a control deck like this Jace, Unraveler of Secrets really positions this deck to absolutely shut down opponents decks and just runaway with games. Hence Star-Lock. This deck really has potential to make it into a top 8 given the high number of aggro decks trying to bully their way into the top. It is also very fun. This deck has quickly become a favorite of mine. The sideboard is still a work in progress. As always any input is appreciated and if you like deck ideas/concepts like these, check out my Youtube Channel * for more deck techs and discussions.
