Main Deck (60 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

As I'm going into this, I have no idea what I'm doing. I thought the concept of bouncing a Sunblast Angel could be cool, so I'm just going to see if this deck can snowball from there...Any constructive criticism is appreciated. Also, if you have a question about a card being here, just ask why it is and maybe tell me why it totally sucks. Thanks in advance; hopefully you like it.

EDIT: Just looking at this deck now and wondering if there is maybe a card I could add that actually, y'know, taps things? Yes, I know of Sleep, but I don't think it fits into the curve too well...if any of you guys have a card suggestion along those lines that would be great.

Deck discussion for U/W Combo Control

Idea: How about adding in Sleep to optimize the use of Sunblast Angel? And with Mnemonic Wall, it's easy to get back. I would run extra Mnemonic walls (4x?).

As I said earlier, Sleep doesn't really fit into the curve. I would play it on turn four, but after that I would either play a Mnemonic Wall, Venser, or Gideon. I wouldn't be playing a turn 5 Sleep for a turn 6 Sunblast. And as for more Mnemonic Walls, I am already kinda high on 5 mana spells and the deck doesn't revolve around it, it's just nice to maybe have one if I draw a Silence or a Condemn versus a creature heavy aggro deck. I never really want to have more than one and it's no big deal if I don't draw it.

But nonetheless, thanks for the input.

Great deck, has the same core as my UW/Control. I went with a proliferate splash to get my planeswalkers up fast, plus the -1/-1 from contagion clasps works SOOO well with venser and some more proliferating. My deck has already performed very well, so check it out and see if you get any ideas.

Personal opinion, would be that Sea Gate Oracle, is totally overkill, and it's not even that great considering you've got 4 preordains, and you're running 4 Jace. I seriously recommend Augury Owl, let's you scry 3, has the same synergy with Venser's +2 ability, and it's a cheap chump block in the air, which is somewhat lacking in your deck. I'd also kill the Stoic Rebuttals, I don't see any artifacts in your deck, so I don't really understand why they're in there. Take the two out and get another Condemn (VERY good spell) and another Mana Leak.

Anyways, great deck man, good luck!

The Stoic Rebuttals are actually in there because it's just a cancel that may fool my opponent that I have some artifacts. My 3 mana curve was lacking so I decided to add it. Also, SeaGate oracle is my only other 3 drop so I don't think I would take that out. Besides, it served me well whenever I used it. I'll look more into Contagion Clasps, I've been seeing that card a lot lately, but since this isn't a proliferate deck, I probably won't add it. But I don't think my 2 drop slot is too full or anything...

Thanks for the input.
