Mono Blue Counter

by Jigsaw19 on 11 June 2010

Main Deck (62 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

A counter deck, not standard, first time building a counter deck, but it's been working pretty well so far. Comments and tips much, much appreciated! Thanks

Deck discussion for Mono Blue Counter

I don't know if you're constructing from your collection or not, but I am wondering why you have only placed two counterspells in the deck when you also have cards like negate and essence scatter. Maybe if you know your opponent is going to be playing cards like Haunting Echoes it would be feasible, otherwise I'd put more counterspells in.

If you're able to acquire it, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir is a great addition to any blue counter deck since you vastly limit when your opponent can play spells and you no longer have to decide between saving mana for countering or playing creatures. You just drop your creatures during their endphase if you have the mana left over from countering.

Another possibility since you're running Roil Elemental is to play at least one Oboro, Palace in the Clouds since it can guarantee a landfall every turn to trigger Roil's ability, and it doesn't come into play tapped.

Other than that, have fun playing Blue and making all your friends angry :)
