Hi there,
I want to make a budget U/W control deck for MTGO Classic/ Legacy so i made a decklist. Now i was wondering what you guys think of this. Is it a good solid deck? Should i switch some cards? Do i need (extra) card draw? What do you think?
Please help me to make a good U/W control deck
Edit 1:I removed 1x Luminarch Ascension, while i love the card it just isnt very effective against very aggresive decks.
Removed 1x Wall of Denials, i think 3 is more then enough. Removed 2x Spell Pierce. I think this was the least viable counterspell in the deck. Removed 1x Plains rarely ran into mana troubleremoved 1x Sphinx of Jwar Isle I needed some roomRemoved 2 other cards that i dont remember anymore xD
Added:4x Isochron Scepter4x Silence
So.... i ran this deck and ran into some trouble i'd like to fix. 1. Aggressive decks with a lot of creatures kill me. If more then 2 creatures hit the field, 1 wall is not enough. I also cant get my Luminarch Ascension stacks up then.
I do too little damage. If i cant get my stacks up, i have to rely on drawing Sphinx of Jwar Isle, and that might not happen until very late into the game.
When something hits the field, it is difficult for me to remove ecept with Swords to Plowshare. How should i handle this? should i add Oblivion ring? .
Not a big issue, but i think some card draw could be nice, i just dont know what card to put out. .
Please help me to improve my deck, all input is welcome :D
Edit 2: Removed 4x Mental Misstep i had the feeling this didnt work for me in a lot of situationRemoved 2x Island 20 lands is enough
Added 2x Luminarch AscensionAdded 4x Day of Judgment
With these changes i added more aggression to the deck + i removed one of the weaknesses (Lots of creatures). With this build i also dont need card draw, because my card advantage comes from Isochron Scepter and Luminarch Ascension
I am quite happy with this deck, but it still needs some more testing.
Advice is still welcome ofcourse~!
