Interesting idea, definitely a good deck +1

I would suggest hiding away comments that are over a month old (the update tab has a checkbox that does this).

As for deck advise it's quite possible a lot of what is below won't exactly apply to your meta (in your updates it seems your meta is very small, therefore the chances it has any competitiveness to it is very low) so it's possible you could easily ignore whatever I type.

First of all while I was playtesting this deck for a few hours (this will be from this deck's perspective) I felt completely controlled as the control deck I was against (JunkyBuggy ) seemed to have no problems spending an Oblivion Ring or a boardwipe to deal with my few threats. To make matters worse I could never kill a Sigarda, Host of Herons aside from one time when I finally had 5 swamps for Mutilate , most games ended with my hand literally full with just kill spells.

Now there are many things that could fix these problems. one card that can plug up many of these holes could be Liliana of the Dark Realms . Her first ability gives you a constant flow of lands and in long drawn out games you'll be drawing threats or answers more frequently, her second ability can make your threats more threatening or be a kill spell on a stick, her ultimate could be handy if you added red to this deck for some endgame burn spells (like rakdos return), with how this standard seems to be you could easily just cut blue altogether for red r/b creatures are fast and can be control powerhouses like Olivia Voldaren , burn spells like Pillar of Flame and Mizzium Mortars can deal with early aggression and will generally feel more useful than counterspells and bounce spells, you can have access to Dreadbore and be able to easily kill planeswalkers, Rakdos Keyrune is a creature that can sidestep boardwipes and the sorcery speed removal in the format, and overall your mana will be better due to actually having access to 2 duals.

But if red doesn't excite you I guess you could run some Clone s sideboard, add in some Transguild Promenade so you can more easily do either a turn 3 Murder or Dissipate , and maybe try out some Desecration Demon or Vampire Nighthawk because this deck really needs a few more threats (when you're running just barely more threats than the average control deck runs boardwipes, let alone spot removal, you'll often be in trouble).

its seems big brick of text is big brick of text.

well first things first your absolutly right bout Sigarda, Host of Herons i noticed it aswell and was busy diciding what i should take out in the sideboard for Evil Twin /Clone (think it will be my 1offs). made a post of it somewhere this week in me stating that geting 5+swamps and a Mutilate are just slim when facing sigarda. other then that there is Homicidal Seclusion + creature to top sigarda but ive found depending on that...meh.

there was a time when i concidered Liliana of the Dark Realms didnt cus i only own 1 and couldnt get more of her(still cant). anyway more creatures? vs control i can see what you mean but useally 2 more is enough and i have Shimian Specter (i know he begs for removal but still if he stays he's great vs control).

ive also taken a look at your deck seems good to me. but while i havnt playttested against it seems i have enough counters and removal to beat your deck. true a resolved sigarda still poses a problem. but besides that cant think of any were i dont have a direct andser on. and plz dont disregard my bounce spells :) there handy to have and if the opponent plays fieldwipes i can pay 1 mana to return my creature in hand if need be(at that point it clearly beast Cyclonic Rift ).

For those exact reasons is why I run Sigarda, Host of Herons in The Incredible Bulk.

I really think you should have the Cyclonic Rift mainboarded, also I second the Liliana of the Dark Realms . Think about it this way: if you can kill something she's a targeted Mutilate then if you can't kill that creature she can fetch for you making your actual Mutilate stronger.

bit late on commenting but i have thought bout maining Cyclonic Rift just couldnt decide what to take out for it. i did try but that just didnt work. so what would you suggest?

Very good deck!

And with the Stab Wound plus all your other effects, perhaps you could work in an Exquisite Blood or two.

If you're having trouble with control decks, Jace, Memory Adept is probably the best card you can use against them. Most control decks don't have a ready answer to Planeswalkers, and Jace, MA kills opponents without making creatures which can be dealt with.

Nephalia Drownyard is similarly good.

cards proven to make other control decks sad when you resolve them. Jace, Memory Adept and Psychic Spiral are generally good as wincons, and Nephalia Drownyard .

you may want some graveyard hate for your sideboard as well. Also your deck description seems to be a bit outdated and you may want to delete some of the updates (and then go into a newer update and hide the comments the old update held) as they are starting to clutter the page.

Nephalia Drownyard is arguably the most reliable of these cards since your opponent can't counter it or its ability. They can use Ghost Quarter on it, but no one's running Ghost Quarter , especially in three-color decks.

The deck feel a little "all over the place". I like some of the themes you're going for, but other than your counter/control setup, I don't see any reliability in the deck.

If Liliana of the Dark Realms is important to your strategy, I'd increase the number of them in the deck. I think Sever the Bloodline is more sideboard material than mainboard. Mutilate doesn't look strong in this deck, as you're only playing 9 swamps, and have no guarantee you're going to see a decent number of them, unless you have Lily out, which as a one of, isn't reliable. With 8 Counter Spells in your mainboard, I wouldn't be putting any in your sideboard. If anything, when sideboarding, you'll want to cut some of that counter magic out. Or, if you're going to have any counter magic in the sideboard, perhaps Dispel ? Homicidal Seclusion as a one of doesn't feel like it's going to help the deck at all -- all it takes is one Sundering Growth to ruin that entire plan.

Sign in Blood would probably be a good addition to the deck. Life loss won't be a big concern for you, as your goal is to control the board, and not give your opponent the ability to hurt you. Do you own any Snapcaster Mage s? I'd mainboard the Nephalia Drownyard -- you take out two basic lands to put those in, and they give you an advantage over the control mirror match in game one.

But, that's just my two cents.

Swap Think Twice for Ponder . It is WAY better.
