Sure, there are a LOT of planeswalkers in this deck. More than almost any deck that I can think of, but they all play a critical role. The point is really to just ramp up, get the walkers going, and then ride it from there.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver He is key in this deck and I decided that having three were necessary. He is hard to kill, gives me their guys with a very little investment, and as the cherry on top he stops control decks from scrying anything on top and when ultimate'd he ruins control decks!

Kiora, the Crashing Wave A definite 4 of in here. She stops your biggest or only guy out. Then once she is ready, out come 9/9 KRAKENS EVERY TURN.

Jace, Architect of Thought 2 of. Classic control PW. Gives me card advantage and slows you down if you have a lot going on on the board.

Elspeth, Suns Champion 2 of. She is my heavy hitter. When I drop her I want to be wrapping up the game. Usually the board is pretty darn clear at this point and so I just start pumping out tokens and swinging in. Then they are 3/3 flyers? Pretty hard to do anything about lots of those!

Vraska, the Unseen 2 of. Vraska just gives me a little extra cushion with the removal or three turn clock for dropping assassins that will end the game when dealing damage. I think she will be very solid in the control shell.

3-1 — April 1, 2014

Edit

Well I just went 3-1 in my last event. I lost my first match which I would have stood a much better chance in if I had more than two land in game 3 but all the other games went pretty smoothly. Creatures with haste aren't my most favorite thing in the world and Xenagod isn't pleasant I have realized but overall it went well! People dont really play much aggro at my LGS but I played a match against a Boros Burn deck and went 1-1 with no sideboards. So overall it was a decent night and I'll keep everyone posted on how it does in the future! If you have the cards you should give it a shot, its fun to play with and people dont mind getting controlled by it as much because it is wacky and fun!
