Dragons or Demons for BR Control?
Standard Deck Help forum
Posted on June 26, 2016, 12:09 p.m. by ducttapedeckbox
The only paper format I'll have access to this summer is Standard, so I've been working on a RB control list. I'm currently running Mindwrack Demon as a main beater, but would Thunderbreak Regent be better?
The Demon is better against board wipes, while the Dragon is better against spot removal. The Dragon also opens up some room from "forcing" Delirium and lets me run Draconic Roar and possibly Dragonlord Kolaghan.
Idea for Dragons came from this Youtube video.
My list can be found here:
Meh, Standard

The Demon also has flying, EmblemMan :)
I realized that some of my early creatures / removal weren't as efficient and currently have both the Demons and Dragons. The Demon hasn't been that bad to keep from blasting me, or maybe I've just been lucky hah.

I agree with EmblemMan, Dragons is a better course of action for control. It lets you run Foul-Tongue Invocation, Draconic Roar and the rest of the relevant dragon cards.

Hmm, I forgot about Foul-Tongue. How good is it right now though with so many tokens/aggro decks running around? Am looking to add Draconic Roar.

I would definitely say dragons the flying is relevant all the bolts are relevant and mindwrack demon is a good card but building a deliruim deck just seems less consistent and effective.
