Main Rant: After coming in 4th place at Saturday's "MTG: Game Day" with Bant Control, I couldn't really complain. The funny thing was that I still felt bitter because I got blown out by "net-decks"!!! After getting it rubbed in my face, by a player of whom I'm acquainted with, that R/W/U Miracles is the way to go after I was (barely) beaten, and getting (barely) defeated by G/W Humans... I decided to fight fire with fire... kinda lol.
I noticed that all these winning net-decks are super cheap in converted-mana cost, like G/W Humans, RakdosB-Win, Red-Deck Wins, B/G Zombies, and etc. Geist of Saint Traft did great with my W/U Geist Detain deck, but since people have better grips with the format now, that deck is irrelevant in way- even though I still want to use Geist. I still want to play control, but unless I play that damn R/W/U Miracles deck, I might as well hang it up unless I want to struggle to barely win against aggro. So... why not just do what aggro is doing? No, I don't mean playing aggro as well; I'm talking about making things cheaper.
Tech Rant: It's pretty simple actually. It plays just like a control deck, yet it has the speed of an aggro deck. Control the board with cheap counters and cheap removal, then drop the cheap bomb creatures and swing.
Closing: There's some tweaking I need to do. It does really well at times, and really bad at others. If you have any suggestions, drop them in the comments.
