A standard take on a BUG Control deck. I have faith in the concept, but I am always open to criticism and advice. The main idea is to stall the board with removal long enough to drop in a heavy hitter such as
Desecration Demon
or AEtherling. From there a
Progenitor Mimic
to begin copying the big guys.
The Golgari Charm is sideboarded due to the regenerate ability. It seems a good counter to Supreme VerdictAside from that I could use advice on the rest of the sideboard.
-Main Board-Abrupt Decay- I mean come on...do we really want to let them keep their
Chandra's Phoenix
,
Nightveil Specter
, or Boros Reckoner? No...No, we do not.
AEtherling- Let's be honest...This Guy Wins Games...Esper Control Decks have been running this guy forever. You obviously have a good card when a deck can literally run one creature and still beat you down with it.
Progenitor Mimic
- What's worse than one AEtherling? How about two or more?! The possibilities are endless with this guy. Oh, you played a Grey Merchant of Asphodel? Don't mind me...I'll just copy him and keep draining your life...And don't even get me started on that mana ramp deck that managed to cheat out a Worldspine Wurm...heh
Desecration Demon
- Getting this guy out as early as turn 3 is a quick way to take control of a field. He's a good question that an opponent has to find an answer to quickly.
Doom Blade- Goodbye
Master of Waves
and anything else without a little black in it.
Prophet of Kruphix Allows me to keep my mana open for instant removal, and lets me flash in creatures at my opponent's end step. Sounds like a solid winner to me.
Hero's Downfall- Instant speed removal of almost any threat? Yes please. I'll take a playset!
Read the Bones- Paying a little to sort though to the good stuff :D
Sylvan Caryatid- Well...Let's be honest. Tri-Color mana base can be a little tricky in standard. So, a little insurance never hurts. Plus a solid 3 toughness slows down a lot of the red deck wins little guys.
Ultimate Price- It's a nice answer to many of the devotion decks, and it offers a bit of versatility.
Essence Scatter Bye-Bye creatures
Negate Bye-Bye everything else lol
Dissolve Nah, you're not going to cast that...whatever it is xD
Thoughtseize- All I'm saying is that this is a quick way to mess up somebody's day...enough said.
-Side Board-
Golgari Charm- Let's be honest...Who here likes having their field wiped clean from a Supreme Verdict? Not me!
Lifebane Zombie- Green/White hate and intimidate. Check!
Mistcutter Hydra
- Protection from Blue...Can't Be Countered...Haste, and I can make him as big as I can afford. Can somebody please tell me this card's downside???
Putrefy - For those pesky Bidents and Hammers...and More creature removal
Dimir Charm- The options man! The options!
Jace, Architect of Thought Well, this is a control deck isn't it?
Vraska the Unseen Man, she's just mean...
