Returning player after a year. Looking for a good UB Control (my favorite deck type, control decks in general but UB is most preferred) that can effectively hold it's own vs the current meta. Focus in counterspells is difficult to pick because it often bounces between either trying to stop artifacts, or stopping low level creatures, and finding a UB deck that can match both in a few matches back to back (playing fair and not having a 30 card sideboard in FNM) is proving difficult.

The basis was a classic UB Control theme using Jim Davis' recent deck at the pro tour/grand prix as a starting point.

I've been through a few variations thus far but this is my current version that's been doing fairly well on Cockatrice before I straight up buy cards for the real deck.

Revolutionary Rebuff/Metallic Rebuke probably aren't ideal but I'm finding them useful in forcing them to lock down the rest of their mana in certain cases so they can't use it for other cards in the same turn if they REALLY want something on the field. Also helps to knock out things for cheap very early on. Sphinx is good in mirrors. Anticipates I would run 4 but against this aggro heavy meta I'm finding that pulling too many can put me behind too fast. Glimmer at 4 is too good to pass up in most circumstances.

Any suggestions are great!
