List a few of the legendaries you're thinking of using for Commanders to narrow it down.

Ok so what kind of control is he going 1 turn or permanent? Also do you need the deck to be standard or extended? And finally have you considered slivers(which I think can go against control)?

i dont have any commanders in mind so im open to anything. To the control questions he is doing both, one shot and permanents. its extended and no i have never thought about slivers so ill have to look at that!!

Well slivers are good for single turn, because they keep abilities activated at all time. Other wise i recommend a black deck with some of these Painful Quandary , Ghastlord of Fugue , sinkhole , Helldozer , and this Nettlevine Blight use this cards to destroy all his lands and discard his hand, and then just beat him to the ground with a stick :) Nettlevine Blight this is REALLY good against control, you can eliminate all their lands, also Painful Quandary screws them over. Well this is what i recommend.

Dude this is a deck i had been working on against control so go and check it out

Dude, he's talking about EDH... Now, I'm not an EDH expert or anything, infact I've only played it a couple times, but I don't think Slivers would be a good choice.

ok dude sliver u can have sliver legion or queen as the general. And for the black there is a huge range of options, like Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet or mirri the cursed.

I know who you can use as the commander. I still think Slivers would be a bad choice, since you can only have 1 of each card in the deck.

My apologies shadowxr for derailing your thread. Maybe someone that knows what is what in the EDH world can come in here and help you out now.

Yea ok i dunno i dont really play EDH. but i still think that black cards wold be a good choice. this is my black deck, it should work well in this game mode(i think) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=195481

Im not sure what commanders i want really but i was looking at zur the enchanter

Here's my EDH deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=196483

It holds it's own pretty well because it continually brings things back and can usually fetch whatever you need. I'm not sure how well it will do against pure control, but what has always been the shining star was Crypt Rats because of it's kill all effect. It has some hand-control and a decent amount of graveyard control. I'd look into the possibility of making a red-green because of their hate for artifacts and enchantments. It won't do you a lot of good against instant-speed control, but it should handle the board fairly well. Especially (as much as I don't like them) if you use a bunch of cheap goblins or elves.

stupid question: what is EDH and commanders?:confused:?:confused:?:confused:?
then give me a good example.

Here's a thread that explains Commander pretty good. Commander is the new name for EDH, so they are the same thing.
