U/B Versus Sultai
Standard forum

I've been playing Sultai Control for a while and have had a lot of success with the deck. I felt like Sultai had a lot of upsides to U/B with things like Satyr Wayfinder and Sultai Charm as well as some walkers and SB tech. That being said, U/B gets quite a bit from DTK that Sultai might not be interested in. What deck do you think will be superior?

Perilous Vault fixes that with UB control. Also, a good control player should have a counter in hand to deal with the outpost siege. I never personally had a problem with stuff like that.

Sultai Control will most likely remain dominant, and Sultai Control will just eat up all the best U/B cards from DTK.
Honestly, what's more worrying to me is that it's looking a lot more like Esper (W/U/B) Control will end up on top.

I'd play Sultai over U/B. Perilous Vault is a catch-all that's not very mana efficient. Why play that when you can play specific answers to threats like Outpost Siege or Mastery of the Unseen like Sultai Charm? The mana isn't even worse because of Satyr Wayfinder. Having said that, Esper got the best cards from DTK and both Soorani and Fabiano are brewing that.

I was already playing sultai over UB, but an added push from DTK that I think will make it even more so the stronger option is Display of Dominance

I know sultai control has proven to be even more viable than UB even in the modern format. But I feel as of though you could find some better answers now with anticipate as the main engine in the deck. It's a good way to find lands get answers and all that good stuff. All UB needs is answers to early aggro or mid game aggro, I've played a couple of UB players that have had this problem. But none the less I'm a huge fan of UB over sultai. Just cause UB is the orginal control deck

Sultai Charm alone gives sultai a huge advantage. Dropping outpost siege against U/B is usually game over.
