V 3.0 —July 3, 2016

As if this deck couldn't get any more annoying to play against, I've revised the UB control shell to a more hand-hate based control. After playing this deck for so long, I felt it was a bit janky with the plethora of board removal. After all, why wait to get rid of stuff until it's on the board? Sabotage the opponent's early game, and I can relax a bit more while I find my combo pieces.

Also (IMO), I have made this one of the cheapest and effective Modern decks in existence (perhaps, next to 8-Rack), by taking out the Polluted Deltas and going with the shock and pain lands. I felt the Deltas combined with the shocks, pains, Thoughtseizes, and Phyrexian-Mana spells were causing too much self-inflicted damage.

Enjoy the play testing! If you have any further suggestions, comments or questions, please feel free to ask!

Play on, friends!
