I just switched from midrange to control, actually :) It is a completely different ball game, that's for sure. In my opinion, Esper Control and American Control are the best (and most fun) control decks right now. Esper is B/U/W. You want to make sure your deck has a solid amount of control.. TONS of control... and a pretty solid win condition, such as Entreat the Angels for American Control and spirits/Sorin, Lord of Innistrad for Esper. The possibilities are endless, really.. Just control, control, control and then hit them with something big :P

this is my stupid little home-brew I'm tinkering with, I think these two decks would have some epic match ups.

I was considering sideboarding it and running it in place of Entreat the Angels as a fun secondary win condition :D

lol, its pretty good. and does running only 2 Dissipate s with no other counter spells seem to work well for you?

It actually does.. because of the board wipe and Aurelia's Fury :P

well then why even run counters when u can just have more board wipe :P id -2 the Dissipate s and add 2 Blasphemous Act s. seems cruel, but whatever!

im still not used to blue players not playing counterspells anymore... this is a crazy new world we're in right now folks.

but why counter when u can spot or board remove so easily?
February 19, 2013 10:21 p.m.
i dunno...it's just blue used to be all about counterspells, people ran like 6 to 12 counters in a control deck. Just different nowadays.

I have the Dissipates in there just in case someone plays an enchantment, artifact, or spell that will completely ruin my day XD

Nevermore can hurt pretty bad, so can Aurelia's Fury... and counterspells.

my grixis midrange deck would have some interesting matches against this.

Boros Charm (Giving Indestructible) + Azorius Charm (Giving Lifelink) + Boros Reckoner + Any Damage = Infinite Life

Yeah, I was reading about the Nearheath Pilgrim + Boros Reckoner + Boros Charm + Any Damage = Infinite Life combination last night. I just don't want to be that guy though... Haha

Seems solid, not much of an expert on control decks but the reckoner is definitely nice. I am a fan of Entreat decks even though I usually play midrange. Do you have any advice maybe for an aggro/mid-range player who has no idea how to build a control deck? It seems like a completely different ball-game.
