U/W Control still good in Standard?
Standard forum

So, thinking about building a U/W Control deck for Standard. And thinking of running the new Thalia, and Avacyn for just the creatures. Then a couple Planeswalkers like Jace and Dovin Baan. The rest be counters. And maybe the win condition being Dynavolt Tower.
Thoughts?

U/W is great in standard right now! Not sure if hyper controlling is the best way to build the colour combination though. Reflector Mage and Spell Queller are what make U/W good, and those are more tempo cards than control cards.

What's a good deck build for the deck? Not gonna run Smuggler's Copter though.

AlucardZain Smuggler's Copter is what makes the deck... There were multiple u/w tempo decks that did well at the pro tour. I'd also suggest u/w spirits, which is a pet deck of mine and has been working really well for me recently. If you really want to do control, I'd suggest splashing red and playing jeskai colours like Carlos Romao who finished second at the pro tour.

I think Gisela is something you should consider! Right on curve. Gideon could also be an efficient beater if you can protect him.
