I'm trying to figure out which to go with. Sultai control or UB control. I've been testing both, and on one hand, i feel like sultai can answer literally everything. where with UB control, I have foil dismal backwaters and radiant fountains.... which should i go with for game day?
Sultai also gives you Courser of Kruphix, Sylvan Caryatid, and more heavy duty enchantment removal.
You can check out my deck for some inspiration:

I agree with Sultai. The Charm is sweet, and you can play Caryatid/Courser or Satyr Wayfinder. Sultai also seems to win faster, which is great. The SB options are obviously better as well.

yeah I've been contemplating playing UB control and splashing green just for sultai charm. artifacts and enchantments are a huge bane to ub control, and sometimes you just cant hold up mana to counter. and since I would be splashing green, i feel obligated to play satyr wayfinder to fill up the graveyard.
I really don't want to play courser and caryatid. I'm going the satyr route,
overall, i think I'll be happier with sultai until the next set comes out and nicol bolas is reprinted (no i don't know this for sure, i just have this tingling sensation in my balls)
thanks for the advice ladies.

My deck is based heavily on Gerard Fabiano's, it's done pretty well for me so far:

IMO there's nothing sultai can offer you that UB can't, besides sidisi. Im not a big fan of sidisi like other people think he's the bossest but monastery mentor and goblin rabblemaster out rank him in tokens. Sooo meh. Plus UB has some badass spams with tasigur. If you have enough mana and it's late game you can get a badass downfall dissolve lock. Just keep recycling dissolve for tasigur protection, I might make the deck in RL. But idk depends if I can get a hold of 4x promo downfall. The art to that piece came out badass.

I prefer Sultai control LITERALLY because of Sultai Charm. It gives you the ability to hit enchantments with your maindeck.
