My first attempt at a control deck in Commander. I wanted to be able to have some control of the game without locking players out. I decided to put in a little bit of a flicker theme into the deck with some nice comes into play abilities.

Retooling the deck — March 1, 2014

Edit

It's been almost a year since my last update. While the deck has been running alright, it really bogs the game down slowing everyone else down, while I don't advance my own game plan. I can stall my opponents for several turns, but I am rarely able to capitalize on this. After that, everyone just hates me and gangs up on me.

The plan is to move a little bit away from taxing, and flickering. And move more towards power. I still don't want to lock my opponents out from playing, but more counters and wraths should keep their boards wrecked, while I play big threats. I am eschewing some of the "synergies" for raw power. The hope is that I can have some threats, and stop my opponents threats. If they get to out of hand, I reset the board and try again. This will likely make for longer games too, but not games where my opponents aren't able to do anything, while I sit back and do nothing myself.

I am in the process of finding which cards I want to play for this strategy. I am leaning towards: 6-8 Wraths 10-15 Counters 10 Draw spells ~20 Creatures 39 Lands The rest Utility/ Win Cons: ie: Crawlspace, Entreat the Angels, Luminarch Ascension etc.
