Cool deck Jessie :)

Maybe. That's a good point. Just saying that if someone did decide to maindeck it I wouldn't be opposed. I just prefer Devouring Light over it

I'm not opposed to running it maindeck because of Blood Baron of Vizpoka and Stormbreath Dragon. Those are still things in standard play.

This is Jund...not Naya. Unless you mean that you made the deck to counter Naya? I'm confused 0_o lol

Jund Midrange was really aggressive back in those blocks and control decks took a huge hit during that time. I couldn't catch a break at FNMs and I wasn't very good at American Midrange.

I watched Worlds last year and most of the other countries seem to run a lot of the decks that US players ran. At least it seemed like they did. I've never been stationed outside of the US so I can't really speak on that subject but it's interesting to know that different cards in different locations are being used that probably wouldn't be ran over here.

Thanks! I was honestly considering the switch of Jace, Memory Adept for Jace, the Living Guildpact. I know Memory Adept tears up mirror matches where as I'm not sure how well Guildpact will do but I'll do some tests with both and see which I prefer.

Not at all. I'm curious myself to know what he means. I've never played outside of the US.

Ah. Eh I wouldn't know what to take out for it. I'm kinda liking the deck list as is but I wont know what changes to make until I play it.

Still a good blocker. He still holds off a lot of cheap creatures most midrange decks need to plink in damage early game.

Only reason I'm preferring Devouring Light over Last Breath is because Last Breath is limited to a 2 toughness or lower. Devouring Light can hit Mistcutter Hydra, Last Breath can't. Unless your opponent puts Mistcutter out with a toughness of 2 but..no idea why you would do that.

Nyx-Fleece Ram gains you 1 life at upkeep and yea he has 1 toughness more but your opponent can still attack and buff up a creature early with some bloodrush abilities to get rid of him and all you've gained is one life. Wall of Essence can make them not even want to do that. The life you gain from them wanting to kill off WoE can set them back and give you time to set up the board for complete control. Midrange decks don't really have an issue with this but against aggro decks, if you get Elspeth out, the game is probably in your favor.

It's worked out for me so far.

Depends on how you want to play. I prefer to be looking into what I'm drawing into and control loves the scry support. Lots of Azorius Control decks run this set up.

This deck isn't type two yet but the original version of this deck runs very well. The decks that give me issues are Esper control and Monored/Boros Burn. I've taken out monored/boros decks before though with the sideboard but I still can't seem to get a win again'st Esper.

Yea, control decks love having a lot of scry lands. It helps you pick what you draw into and makes setting up a bit easier.

Thanks for everyone's input on the deck. Only thing I'm considering changing around is the sideboard and I haven't made any decisions yet. I'm currently working on my other versions of control. Bant, American, and Esper. I will put out some lists within the next few days. Again, thanks for everyone's input and support.

It's not a problem. Sorry I'm just now getting home tonight and just now seeing this.

Ok good. Thanks for clearing that up.

Since you're a lvl 1 judge, had another question. My opponent swings with two creatures and I have WoE out. If I declare WoE as a blocker and then tap him for convoke to cast devouring light, do I still gain life?
