[Q&A] U/B Control
Posted: Sat Nov 29, 2014 6:13 am
This archetype has top 8'd the last Pro Tour, and was the best performing deck of that tournament. It also got first place in the hands of Adrian Sullivan at a recently Grand Prix Super Sunday Series, so I figured it qualified as not developing.
Here's his list:
[deck]BU Chevy Control - Sullivan
2 Despise
1 Liliana Vess
4 Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver
4 Dissolve
2 Divination
1 Jace's Ingenuity
1 Interpret the Signs
3 Dig Through Time
1 Aetherspouts
1 Silence the Believers
2 Drown in Sorrow
4 Bile Blight
4 Hero's Downfall
4 Perilous Vault
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
3 Radiant Fountain
4 Dismall Backwater
4 Temple of Deceit
1 Temple of Mystery
1 Temple of Malady
4 Swamp
4 Island
4 Polluted Delta
SIDE:
1 Pharika's Cure
3 Negate
1 Thoughtseize
2 Disdainful Stroke
1 Drown in Sorrow
1 Cranial Archive
1 Aetherspouts
2 Prognostic Sphinx
1 Pearl Lake Ancient
1 Silence the Believers
1 Jace's Ingenuity[/deck]
Just got 1st at my FNM.
Round 1: 2-0 vs B/W Warrior aggro
Round 2: 2-0 vs Esper Control (elspeths, ashioks, prog sphinx)
Round 3: 2-0 vs Mardu Midrange
Round 4: 2-0 vs Sultai Dredge (nemesis, nighthowler, sidisi, hornet q, soul of Innistrad)
I was running Adrian's chevy list. Before the tournament started, I was able to test out the build that got top 16 at SCG last weekend (4 treasuire cruise, 4 thoughtseize, 4 despise, 3 ashiok, 1 prog sphinx, etc). I didn't like it as much as Adrian's "Chevy" build....but I really liked playing Thoughtseize again.
Really missed it after using all last rotation (, because I played Black devotion).
Here's my list:
[deck]Land
4x Dismal Backwater
4x Island
4x Polluted Delta
3x Radiant Fountain
4x Swamp
4x Temple of Deceit
2x Temple of Malady
1x Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
Planeswalker
4x Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver
1x Liliana Vess
Instant
4x Bile Blight
3x Dig Through Time
4x Dissolve
4x Hero's Downfall
1x Jace's Ingenuity
1x Silence the Believers
Sorcery
2x Despise
2x Divination
4x Thoughtseize
Artifact
4x Perilous Vault
Sideboard
1x Cranial Archive
2x Disdainful Stroke
3x Drown in Sorrow
1x Jace's Ingenuity
3x Negate
1x Pearl Lake Ancient
1x Pharika's Cure
2x Prognostic Sphinx
1x Silence the Believers
