After building a Jeskai deck for my cousin, I fell in love with how it played. I wanted to build a control deck for myself but didn't have the cash to rebuild a Jeskai list. Plus, I didn't really want to copy a deck that I had just built for my cousin anyway. So what is a boy to do? Well I took a look at my Esper Mill and decided to build a control deck based around its mana base. That's when I came up with this list. It looks a lot like a regular UW Control deck but plays surprisingly different. I've really been enjoying it online and just got it put together in paper.
