Searching BUDGET mono U Control
Modern Deck Help forum
Posted on July 26, 2016, 12:55 a.m. by lomby
Hello And thanks. I need advice to buy a new deck.
Im searching something Extra-Budget here.
I have very few blue cards, so I will probably need to buy all the cards.
I need/want a Mono blue or Azorius Control Deck
what can you advice me?

Mono U control would be totally possible if you prefer 
over 
:)
Delver of Secrets Flip, Mana Leak, Rune Snag, Vapor Snag are cheap af, but it depends on the budget you have for the whole deck!

there's a lot of options for mono-blue control, but all long as you don't go overboard with things like Disrupting Shoal or anything like that, you should be fine. you could do a bounce deck, where you just use things like Unsummon to take out blockers and then win with Delver of Secrets Flip.

That...isn't control. That is tempo. Unsummon is not a control spell because it buys tempo not control.
Control in modern really needs the man-lands or some way to pull ahead. Tron-lands, Sphinxs Rev, board wipes, snapcasters, gifts, something to let it pull itself from behind.
What is your budget in dollars?

What are your expectations? Is this for playing casually, FNM, etc?

Well yeah MonoU Tron is a cool deck but it depends on if you wanna keep your close friends close or not :D
Seriously the archetype is ok, that was the first modern build I had.
HOWEVER, it gets a bit boring the more you play it : you basically bounce and counter stuff until you find your Tron lands and cast big stuff. That is a redundant scenario that got boring to me. Also, if you intend to play this the casual way with your friends and their clunky decks (as I did), you might end up boring them too.
It's pretty weak to very aggressive decks with cheap CMC (Zoo/burn/infect/affinity) and you often end up with weiiiird hands made of both tron pieces and insanely high CMC permanents :)
That being said, it's a good deck vs control builds, just less consistent - though less expensive - than the RG version.

Well, Its hard to tell exact budget on dollars, but I belive near U$S 100 - U$S 130
Though MTG cards sometimes ARE more expensive in my country.
I will check on the U TRON.
frusciante7: I dont mind to lose some friends ;)
ducttapedeckbox: well, FNM, but there is another control deck on my FNM group, which no one can deal with. thats why I would like a controll deck.
I love 
. All my decks have white, or spash white, but I cant deal with that deck with any of mines. I belive a U control could do it.
All sugestions are apreciated.

Budget and Celestial Colonnade do not necessarily go well together......
May I suggest burn? It's fairly cheap yet competitive. If your not going competitive, $30 goats is also an option!
