what deck will make you useless

i would like to know what type of deck will make you useless that is standard. i do not want to mill you that takes to long and you worry about cards like Elixir of Immortality but if i burn you you can gain life with a lot of cards. so what will ensure that you cannot do anything while i kill you with a spell like Stab Wound ?

Even just Azorious Control does the same thing really

Land Destruction, for the lulz, I've played it before and peeps get pissed yo!
Not like control decks where everything gets countered or killed, but everything is slowly being discarded as they scour that top-deck for the mana they need (that also gets blown up immediately after it's put down).
Feels good man.

I'm pretty sure you've asked this question before patrickloyd but if you want your opponent to be useless then play Egga, your opponent will participate for like 5% of the game while you just combo off

You play esper or azorius control. However, you wouldn't play Stab Wound

woops in my comment I meant to say Eggs not Egga lol but that also raises the question if you are looking for standard, because the cards you mentioned were standard

HarbingerJK Eggs is lovely, but it isn't standard, like he's asking for.

ah don't you love it when you read right over something and you look like a complete fucktard lol but really what concerned me is that patrickloyd has asked this question before, or at least a different variant.

Happens to me all the time, haha.
If he's asking again, i guess that just means he doesn't feel like he got a good enough answer before, you know?

Maze's End Turbofog decks piss me off to no end. I can respect control, land hate, or other "F you" decks since there is a fair amount of strategy that goes into playing against those, but unless you're packing Skullcrack or some land hate of your own, your deck is pretty useless as long as they can continuously prevent damage. When my friend considered playing such a deck, I told him to just stay home and count his Fog s.
Pre-rotation, decks that used Geist of Saint Traft would also qualify, though those at least had some flair.

hey can you look at it again and tell me if Elvish Mystic will really help my deck.he is a one drop but he only taps for one green mana and will be useless when blocking.

I looked at it, and they're right, Elvish Mystic would help speed up the deck a lot, the mana will balance itself out anyways so you don't need to worry about the red aspect of it

If you want to make somebody useless, you probably want to play Esper Control
Thoughtseize , Dissolve , Supreme Verdict , Detention Sphere , Hero's Downfall
Elspeth, Sun's Champion and AEtherling are wonderful win conditions too
