I saw an interesting control deck here and thought it would be a cheap way to get into modern.

If you skipped the article, the deck has a lot of cool interactions that make for a powerful endgame. The deck relies on small creatures with strong ETB effects and removal spells to survive early, then uses the following recursion package to overwhelm the opponent in the late game:

Sun Titan - Recurs all the other permanents in the deck, including Detention Sphere and lands, to abuse their ETB effects. Lands like Tectonic Edge can be used and reused to destroy lands over and over again, while fetches can continually dig for more lands.

Emeria, The Sky Ruin - Recurs only creatures, but much harder to get rid of than Sun Titan.

Flickerwisp - Like Sun Titan, it can target all permanents. It can flicker Detention Sphere if better or more targets become available. It can flicker a Sun Titan out while you cast a Supreme Verdict, only to be returned for another trigger as soon as the Sun Titan comes back.

The deck seems weak to combo, strong against aggro and midrange, not really sure how it would do against other control decks, though. Comments and feedback appreciated.

Went 1-3 tonight, here’s how it went:

Match 1: Abzan 2-0 The first game was grindy. He got an early scavenging ooze, but I was able to grind through to get Titan online. Felt like a normal emeria game. I sided in 2 fragmentize for hatecards. The next game he mulled to 5 and couldn’t get going.

Match 2: blue moon 0-2 The first game I had two spreading seas in hand. He played a blue moon, which I d sphered, but he landed jtms and buried me in card advantage. I sided in negates and Tormods crypts. Next game he landed a turn three blood moon with me having only non basics on board. I felt pretty helpless in both of thes matches. What’s good sideboard tech here?

Match 3: Affinity 1-2 First game I mull to 4, but I ended up just a land short of stabilizing with supreme verdict. This match felt winnable. I side in stony silence, fragmentize, supreme verdict, lone missionary and blessed alliance. I am able to fragmentize and path threats to survive into the late game. Game three he draws the bits and kills me on t3. Not much I can do on the draw here. I feel like I always beat affinity when I’m on the play and lose on the draw.

Match 4: Ponza 1-2 I won game 1 with a wrath into a sun titan. I side in lone missionary and supreme verdict. Game 2 I let a lessig wolf run linger a bit too long and it eventually got in enough damage to kill me. Game 3 I finally take control of the board, but he topdecks a inferno Titan into a pia and Kiran and burns me out with three sun titans on board. This match felt really winnable.

Overall I feel like I could have been 3-1 with a little better luck. Gideon of the trials was really strong when he came down and won me a couple games by himself. I don’t think I cast resto once tonight, but also not sure I wanted to. Maybe these slots can be used for more reactive cards to the meta. A little more life gain would have won me matches with affinity and Ponza
