Mill/control in Standard

Deck Help forum

Posted on Jan. 27, 2013, 5:34 p.m. by DawnsRayofLight

So, I have been seeing all the boros themed decks, running Boros Charm and field medic, leaving me Ponder ing how to deal with Boros and naya aggro lists now. I was hoping Gatecrash would have been a bit kinder with kill spells/board wipes, allowing esper to re-emerge a bit and perhaps see UB control again, but not much was given to control. This leads me to my point of this thread, how to build a viable control list that can stand up against powerful aggro decks.

Mill was rather fun in the pre-release and my friend believes if I build control, it should be mill right now. I'll leave a list of control/mill cards that I have come across that could be helpful, I appreciate any suggestions as to what and how much of a card to add to the esper list I wish to create, any cards not listed that you can think of that would prove beneficial please feel free to suggest them, I am also open to looking at already made lists. I appreciate the help!!!

Mill:

Mind Grind

Consuming Aberration

Havengul Lich

Increasing Confusion

Jace, Memory Adept

Thought Scour

Detention Sphere

Supreme Verdict
