Jeskai banning help!

Modern forum

Posted on Jan. 23, 2015, 12:27 a.m. by unbendingsea

I play a Branson control and most definitely had my shares of Dig Through Time, but what am I going to replace these now banned cards? Any ideas from somer veteran America control players?

Think Twice and Sphinx's Revelation.

What is Branson Control?

Wow it was supposed to say jeskai control, but instead decided to say Branson control lol and thanks for the help, I'll definitely play around with those cards, I would assume the same would go for splinter twin by using Think Twice or Sleight of Hand

Splinter Twin is able to play Serum Visions as they aren't required to hold up mana for Spell Snare most games on turn 1. Sleight of Hand isn't the best Control so I wouldn't run it.

Sphinx's Revelation is by far the superior replacement to Dig Through Time.

Its situational, Think Twice is good any time throughout a match, Rev only in the mid to late game, But rev can have a bigger impact

I also think the lifegain can be relevant against an aggro and midrange-fueled meta...

Wait until the meta unfolds, if everyone goes to combo for instance it becomes less powerful.

I ended up replacing the two DTTSs in my Cruel Control deck with two Sphinx's Revelations by splashing white, and I haven't been disappointed in testing thus far.

I might just run some Think Twice I have two decks that I can interchange, I have a America control deck and a America splinter twin, both I ran three digs so I was curious if I should run the Think Twice for my splinter twin side? I only run 21 lands in that deck supposed to the 26 in the control. So I was wondering what you all would suggest.
