Sultai Control

Made this Sultai control deck based around lots of removal and a bit of counter magic been play testing it against my house mate WomboCombo and his monsters deck and it has proved to pull some out of no where kills on top of being able to control games aswell.

Reasons for Selecting Cards.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver - I love this card was so under rated when it was first spoiled and I think it finds a good home in this deck being able to take cards and monsters off a mid range deck is very solid and it also is a good fate seal for the Courser of Kruphix decks around.

Garruk, Apex Predator - this card provides a win con or healing vs monster decks and removal vs the plainswalker that I am expecting to see.

Kiora, the Crashing Wave - this card provides a extra mana drop in control is just value and the fact you can bubble creatures allows you to stall out for longer aswell.

Liliana Vess - allows you to pull there hand apart or tutor for your win cons she just works so well in control.

Despise - main reason im running this over thoughtsieze main is that the deck does not have a lot of ways to heal so vs agro I find that this will be a more solid choice over its counter part.

Dig Through Time - This card is just solid instant speed card draw that allows you to use your Grave Yard to make it a lot cheaper and lets you dig for your win cons

Dissolve - Control enough said :)

Hero's Downfall - This card is just solid one of the best removal spells in Standard in my opinion.

Negate - this card was an interesting choice I am main boarding this because it can hit plainswalkers all the new Ascendency's that people are playing with testing and it also hits all the new charms going around aswell I have found this card has been nothing but value since I have been playing it.

Sultai Charm - This card is just good Removal card Draw or Naturalize in one card this works so well in this deck.

Villainous Wealth - this card is my fun card so far I love it testing this card even hitting for 5 against a monsters deck means you take almost anything you hit off the top of there deck so far I haven't had a bad cast of this card and it almost always has got me out of a tight spot.

Prognostic Sphinx - The scry value of this is just so good and if you have to leave it on the back foot it can block Stormbreath Dragon until you can find an answer.

Kruphix, God of Horizons - This card combo's so well with Villainous Wealth you can either mill them to death with Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver and Villainous Wealth or just use it to steal a large amount of cards.

Sylvan Caryatid - this card is good vs agro and also gives me a little color fixing and addition mana sources to help hit the counters and kill spells when I need them.

The main win cons is to exile there Library and play there own stuff to kill them why stalling the board with all the removal and counter magic.Or just to beat there face off with Prognostic Sphinx .

Looking for some ideas on what to add / remove to make it more solid there are a few cards I like aka Clever Impersonator but don't have any to put into the deck f you like the deck give it a upvote looking forward to letting it loose in FnM will post results when I get them :D.

so tested the deck at this weeks FnM I have taken it to a few other events and it hasn't preformed badly but didn't win a match well tonight it broke the drought tonight going 2 / 2 over all and all games were very close or just blown out by luck by my opponent.

Match 1 was vs Jeskai Tempo Burn

Winning 2 - 1

These games were very interesting and proved having a lot of counter was very handy and the first time Nissa made an appearance netting me the games with 4 / 4 face beating lands I did almost get blown out with an attack into a dictated deflecting palm on my own Sphinx >.< never thought id have to downfall my own creatures to not die to them before was a very good game.

Sideboard Tech - Boarded in 3 Thoughtsieze boarded out Despise for this match up allowing me to remove some of the tempo and his Dictate of the Twin Gods

Match 2 was vs Abzan Dredge

Winning 2 - 0

The Whip of Erebos and Siege Rhino combo was real in this deck but getting Dissolve and Sultai Charm and Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver made my job a lot easier he did end up draining a lot of life from the first whip and he had Ashen Rider to exile my walkers but a strong hit from Villainous Wealth ending both games milling him out.

Sideboard Tech - Boarded in Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver Dark Betrayal Sultai Charm Sided Out Bile Blight and Nissa, Worldwaker slimed down my deck a little and gave me more ways to exile his library rather than graveyard it so he could whip it back found this to work very well reason I didn't put in Thoughtsieze was in game one he was draining a lot of life didn't want to add to that.

Match 3 was vs Temur Tempo Burn

Lost 1 - 2

This game I had a massive miss judgement first game I won due to Negate on a few burn spells allowing my walkers to do there job although I didn't see Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver in game one so I assumed it was a monster deck because the info I got was Savage Knuckleblade (god I hate that card) attempting to tear my face off. In game 2 I hit a Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver but only stole ramp in Mystics and Rattleclaw so I boarded out a lot of my counter magic and put in removal ended up getting blown out by 2 big Crater's Claws.

Match 4 was vs Abzan Midrange / Agro

Lost 2 - 0

These games very very unlucky with me getting destroyed by Whip of Erebos and Siege Rhino combo in both games game one I was starting to come back before he resolved a 2nd whip after dealing with the first one game 2 was turn 3 Siege Rhino into turn 4 Siege Rhino into turn 5 Siege Rhino and my 1 Dark Betrayal in my hand wasn't enough to get there I think I had a chance if I didn't get the triple Siege Rhino threat.

Sideboard Tech - Boarded in Dark Betrayal Sultai Charm Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver sided out Nissa, Worldwaker and Bile Blight.

All in all deck is starting to head in the right direction I think it has not let me down for good games yet I think it still needs something would be nice to have a board wipe or something to help me get back into the game if I am behind but the addition of Nissa, Worldwaker and Aetherspouts have been a solid addition Nissa, Worldwaker just has a big DISTRACTION!!! sign on her head so far I have lived due to them trying to deal with Nissa and also nothing more satisfying then Aetherspouts into Villainous Wealth what you just bounced I think I will remove Mistcutter Hydra from sideboard and add some Disdainful Stroke instead they seem to fit the build a little more and allows me to deal with a few extra threats.
