My newest atrocity is a UGW Control Shell with Wilderness Reclamation and T3feri for utter unfair card and tempo advantage, resulting in the second cast of Approach of the second sun. We can grind most decks to the dust, are fast (for a control deck) and pretty resilient to hate, while packing a lot of it by ourselves. The deck regularly wins our local tourneys, beating down Top Decks like Bant Spirits, RDW, Sultai Delirium and Inverter Combo. Midrange and aggressive strategies often feel like free wins while against control you have to work a little. Combo decks are mostly too fast G1 but we can adapt after SB and grind em into the dust. Intrigued? Read on:

The early game consists of us ramping hard with Grazer, Growth Spiral and Uro, Titan of Nature's wrath. Cards we positively can't allow get censored but the main goal in the early game is ramping and deploying a Wildernes Reclamation or/ and a Teferi, Time Raveler. The combination of those two cards is almost unfair; Opponents can't interact with us while we always should have some mana available to foil their gameplan.

In the midgame we want to accrue more cards/card-advantage. Big Teferi, Sphinx Revelation, Wiping the board and escaping Uro from the grave are our go to strategies. In some circumstances we can already fire off an Approach of the second sun with the help of T3feri and Reclamation all while leaving mana open to interact.

In the late stage of the game we want to force through our second Approach. T3feri again helps tremendously. T5eferi threatens a game winning ultimate and Uro still grinds while beating down.

The SB isn't set in stone but right now it offers a wide array of cards to beat down control decks and stuff like Inverter combo It works in my local meta.

I appreciate every Upvote. Thanks in advance. Have fun with the list, tweak it and let me know what you would do differently or what parts you really like or don't like at all. Regards :)

PS: Anyone getting the deck's name shall receive a geeky cookie.

Removed both Knight of Autumn for two Gideon of the Trials. Reason is that gideon can buy quite some time against Breach and Inverter. Havent played against mono white Devotion yet but I fear that deck could cause some issues.
