10-07-13 update! Now that i got more cards, i can update this deck a little more.

Well, this is my take on a control deck using USA...tips/pointers/help needed!

Main wincon is basically shut them down like they're congress until you can get an AEtherling or Assemble the Legion out.

My sideboard could obviously use some work too, because right now my local meta is mostly midrange aggro decks, but obviously that might change.

5th Place finish at FNM - 10/04/13 — Oct. 7, 2013
Edit

Fifth place finish out of 14 people. I really should have wrote things down but...eh.

1st Round: Boros Midrange - 1-2.

My only loss for the night because i couldn't stabilize. Even with the Scry lands i wasn't able to get enough mana to wipe the board when he came out swinging. He ended up in 4th place that night.

2nd Round: UW Control - 2-0

Counterflux seriously demonstrated why having red in the deck is amazing. Obviously the rounds were slow, but when he decided to drop the AEtherling, he ran into Counterflux. I was then able to drop my own AEtherling and take the game.

3rd Round: Mono Green Aggro - 2-1

This was a fun game. I went into pro tour top deck mode and was able to answer all of his threats while slowly boarding up. The second game i couldn't stabilize in time. The third game was a doozy, combined with misplays on both of our parts. We both overlooked that Mistcutter Hydra is pro blue when i went to target with a Detention Sphere. Because of that, he lost two of them with both of them having 5 counters on each of them.

4th Round: Dimir Control - 2-0

He was running a dimir control deck that focused on Ashiok and mill. Syncopates and dissolve were the head liners here.
