Hi all,this is my U/W Tron Control deck that I've been working on revamping for the post Eye of Ugin meta.Basically this is a control deck that tries to attack from multiple angles while hindering the opponent's game plan long enough for our win-cons or advantage engines to take over the game.

It does this with a midrange-esque creature plan in featuring Conduit of Ruin searching up match up appropriate threats to apply pressure or save yourself, like Platinum Angel/ulamog, the ceasless hunger or Bane of Bala Ged and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn out sideboard for instance. which is also complemented by a Batterskull for a slightly earlier body that is great at stabilizing the board and complements all the threats found by Conduit of Ruin

the other plans include: The Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry combo for burn and creature based strategies as well as an excellent engine for stabilizing the late game when you may have a low life total.

Celestial Colonnade provides a reasonable mana sink to help close out the control matchups or any grindy games or spots where you've run out of action in hand.

these strategies are then all pulled together with our draw package of 1x Anticipate , 4xThirst for Knowledge and 2x Gifts Ungiven

the interaction suite of the deck includes 5 removal spells of 3x Spatial Contortion + 2xPath to Exile and 5 counterspells of 3xCondescend and 2xRemand complemented by a Wrath of God and Snapcaster Mage mainboard

where this deck gets really exciting is in its Gifts Ungiven packages which can be found as soon as turn 3 of an azsorius signet. At the moment my favorite pile is Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry +Not Forgotten + Snapcaster Mage however the great thing about this combo is that due to our low commitment to the thopter sword combo we and interchangeably replace it with the traditional Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite + Unburial Rites /Iona, shield of emmeria combo if we are expecting heavy anti-artifact hate from our opponent or its an appropriate matchup. ie. elesh norn vs creature combo/hate bear strategies (kiki jiki/melira/voice of resurgence) or Iona vs spell based combo (storm/ad nauseum)

being in white we have access to some of the best sideboard cards in the format allowing us to run a number of silver bullets that complement each other and can be pulled together into a gifts Pile.

if you have any suggestions or questions feel free to leave a comment i'm always happy to discuss card choices and ideas for potential sideboard options.
