Deck Lists / Re: My U/G/B Control

Thanks for looking guys, my thoughts

Mythrandir,
I think with gifts, intuition and card draw I can get buy with less “Finishers” I just set up a genesis, or stronghold and “Draw” them like that.  I thought of Garruk and will probably try him out (over Triskelavus) he’s good with Baloth also.

I don’t want to play that many colorless lands, maybe I’ll try Treetop and Faerie Conclave.  I don’t play Artifact accel because the decks main removial is O. Stone/N Disk / P. Deed and I don’t want to waste my own stuff.

I didn’t think of muddle, it is better than miscalculation, I’ll be making that change.  I play opt and similar 1 mana card draw so I can skimp on land a little, because late game I’d rather draw opt than a forest.  I ‘m not sure if duress/thoughtseize do enough for me, and I don’t run enough creatures to make therapy good.  I also don’t own a Drain or it would be in here.

I don’t like furnace, but I might try and fit in Trinket mage, SDT, and Enginered Explosives, to go with my crypt.

A.you have to attack with the Predator so I don’t like him as much)


C. I added the trik late because it worked with Stronghold, academy ruins, and gensis.  Maybe I was getting to cute, but I want to play with it a bit more before I call the trik a mistake.


D.  I think this is wrong, I would always rather have 3 cards than a recursive -1/-1

E.  I’m going to try and work in the top, but I like the utility of S/M a lot

F. it’s mana is over half blue, but you are right I should have Crop rotation in there some place.
