U/W/R Control

Standard*

RagexRight


Sideboard


I've turned this version of U/W/R away from the flash version with augurs and restoration angels into a removal heavy AEtherling deck.

U/W/R I believe is well positioned in the meta right now. We have better tools to deal with Reanimator now with Turn and Burn and AEtherling. The match-up is still in their favor I believe (Sin Collector makes us cry) but we have an easier time now Post DGM.

This deck has always been able to prey upon the aggressive burning tree emissary decks (and now Voice of Resurgence) with Pillar of Flame, Charms, Supreme Verdict and Terminus. Our removal is excellent against hyper aggressive deck.

Our deck is also pretty suited to deal with Aristocrats decks as well. Jace and Pillar do work against most of the cards in their deck

I haven't much of a chance to play against Jund but that match-up but AEtherling seems unbeatable for them and I can't imagine how having better answers to Olivia and Thragtusk makes this match-up worse. Lilana is still obnoxious and Sire can be Bad but we have ways to come back from the Insanity.

After some testing I've made some changes to this deck that I want to talk about.

-4 Young Pyromancer

He was really good when I drawing tons of cheap spells like Pillar of Flame and Azorius Charm but when I was drawing my bigger spells it felt useless and doesn't really mash well with Supreme Verdict and Terminus. In this deck it was just a worse Assemble the Legion

+1 Tamiyo, the Moon Sage

I was finding myself taking too long to close out games, so I added some mid range threats that can close games out. Tamiyo is also a good answer to Nephila Drownyard and Kessig Wolf Run.

+2 Dissipate I wanted some outs to Junk reanimator and my aggro match up was already really good. Dissipate is decent against Jund as well which can be another troublesome match up.

-1 Terminus +1 Renounce the Guilds I put my second copy of Terminus in the side board. Renounce the Guilds serves as an another out against Bant Hexproof
