This is the deck that I took to the Missoula Montana PTQ on January 31st. Before I get into the deck let me throw out some numbers so you can tell how well the deck did for itself. There were about 75 people who showed up to this PTQ. I took the first seed, going 6-1-0.

The deck was a copycat of Jim Davis's U/W Control list for the SCG open in Washington D.C. But with a fundamental difference. With things like Frontier Siege in the format, people are going huge with Ugin, the Spirit Dragon and other giant spells, Davis's control deck was only going up to Elspeth, Sun's Champion. So I decided that in order to fight the huge decks like Green Devotion, the ascendancy decks, Abzan, and Sultai decks, I had to fight Ugin with Ugin. I took out the banishing lights because they are quite bad with Ugin. I eventually came to this list. The only deck I lost to was when a U/W Heroic deck drew perfectly against me.

There is a lot more information that I have about various match-ups, so if you want any more info then just tell me! So how do you like the list? Do you think I made any mistakes? Any questions? leave em in the comments and remember to give the list a vote. U/W control is not dead.
