Grixis vs American control: whats better

Modern forum

Posted on Jan. 13, 2015, 10:57 p.m. by nutellaisgreaterthanlife

So my friend and I both play control decks. He plays grixis while I play american. We were wondering, if someone were to make a control deck, which color would be best besides red/blue. Black has targeted discard and opens killspells and Cruel Ultimatum, while white gives acess to lots of great sideboard cards, Path to Exile, Restoration Angel and a bunch of other great things. What is better in modern right now; grixis control or American control?

That is 100% Accurate. You always have this feeling of impending doom when playing against Tron, it is uder represented In the current metagame despite being reasonably well positioned with Relic of Progenitus and Pyroclasm maindeck.

While I understand the American > Grixis argument, there was a Cruel Control deck that absolutely dominated at the LGS I go to for a long time. This guy would frequently Top-4, if not outright win the Saturday Modern tourney. Maybe our decks were sub-par, but either way it made for a very aggravating match-up everytime.. At least he was friendly & very polite, otherwise I may have eventually beat him up in the parking lot.. lol

I've seen all creature decks that run 6-drops win friday night modern. I'd question the LGS over the deck.

Honestly when I see people winning like booster boxes as prizes when they've come 1st in friday night modern with like some all creature fuck-up I just get really pissed.
