What should I take out for it or put in? It doesn't give card advantage like Augur did. Guess that is what a lot of people are thinking of it as. Augur of Bolas at least let you put a card in your hand, where Omenspeaker, although it has a good ability, really just sets up your draw. Not as good.

Sorry thought I saw him get first. Second is still pretty good. I put the deck together already.

I don't hate Devour Flesh I just hate it for all the reasons Ninja just said. I'd prefer something else over it because that little bit of life your opponent gets could be all they need to hold off late game.

Yea as I've been saying, it's more of a sideboard card.

Dam, they really don't look all that different from mine. I like how none of them maindecked Thoughtseize, which I wasn't liking it in the maindeck. I'm going to make some changes now that I've play tested enough. I'll be taking this to FNM once I actually have all the cards. I need to make an Azorius Control deck as well. I saw that one placed first and I completely forgot about Quicken.

Good shit. Do you have a link? I'd like to see what the decks looked like. Just to compare.

Haven't really thought about putting it in. If it was an instant I would for sure but I think my board is pretty good as it is. Celestial Flare is probably the better choice.

It works pretty well. Just have to know when to take a shock or not. It depends.

Thanks for the tip. I'm still testing it out and it works really well but I'm not sure if I needed 2x Ashiok. Still making changes and testing though.

I'd still prefer an actual removal spell rather than Thoughtseize. It's just my personal preference. Just like I prefer AEtherling rather than Obzedat. The life lost from Read the Bones isn't an issue when you have 4 Sphinx's Revelation. I will do some playtests though and see if it works to my liking.

Yea after play testing I don't want to get rid of Read the Bones. As I said earlier it can put you a good four turns ahead of your opponent. Also why would I go with 2 Obzedat? AEtherling is a better finisher for this deck. I do want Obzedat but just one should be fine.

Thanks for the input. I'll consider the change for Read the Bones but I'd rather not have Thoughtseize in the main deck. It's a good card but I'd rather have removal in the main deck and then switch it out against control.

Two should be more than enough and for card draw I have 4 Sphinx's Revelation, 4 Azorius Charm, Jace, Architect of Thought, and Read the Bones.

I'm assuming you use Ratchet Bomb as your board wipe since these colors don't really have one. I'd run 4 Ooze but that's just me. I'm not sure how this deck works tbh. Never seen BUG control before. Though I like the idea.

I run Syncopate just cause I like it but if I do switch it out then it'll probably be for Essence Scatter or another Dissolve. I have 4 Sphinx's Revelation just for the extra card draw if I need it. Doom Blade still gets rid of a good amount of creatures, regardless of all the multicolor ones out there. It isn't the only removal in the deck and I'm only running two of them. Far//Away isn't that needed which is why I only run one in case it is. Obzedat is still Obzedat and he's still a good card. He isn't my finisher, I have him in there for filler and to be an annoyance. The finisher in the deck is AEtherling, which good luck hitting him.

Is this a mill deck? I'm confused as to what this exactly is.

Thoughtseize is in the board.

Thank you everyone for giving your input and liking my deck. I switched out 1 Far//Away for 1 Doom Blade to have more 2 mana cast removal. If you can think of anything else please give me your input.
