I'm not a huge fan of Pain Seer , but I wanted to try a deck that made him work. This is U/B control deck based around slowing your opponent down and gaining card advantage. So far it is only made on here, but I'm interested in what people think about it against the current meta.

Personally, I see AEtherling as a really strong wincon against the removal heavy decks like mono-black, while tempo disruption from removal and mass bounce is strong against mono blue. My main concern in a serious weakness in terms of card advantage against Sphinx's Revelation.

From first impressions I think the deck deals well with most other threats, from aggro to devotion, but I'm not sure if its the best answer to these, or if the numbers could be different to make it more effective. I'm interested to see what you guys think about this deck currently.
