---

So someone challenged me to make a control deck since I hate playing control (mostly because I hate blue)

This is the end result; a deck that annoys the person who challenged me and has the best win percentage of any commander deck I've made so far.

I built the first iteration of this deck is about an hour one day, but I'd been thinking about it for a week and even traded for a few cards (Ral Zarek, Arcanis the Omnipotent, and Psychosis Crawler), but this was pretty much put together by looking through my binder and trying to figure out what might work.

So far, this is easily my favorite commander deck. The pure amount of hatred I get for playing it and the efficiency/speed speed of the combo (best victory was turn 5 so far (sol ring turn 1, counter something turn 2, a turn 3 Rhystic Study (netting me two cards this early in the game as opponents played thing without thinking of the extra mana), Turn 4 Niv, Turn 5 combo off with mana to burn for another counter).

Still need more help with the deck though. While I'm loving this deck, the efficiency is still a problem. Like many have said, once you get a taste of power, you just want for more.
