1  Eternal Formats / Blue-Based Control / Re: [Deck Discussion] Renovating Blue Bullshit on: September 17, 2008, 01:55:08 am
The Draw go deck that TK plays is really similar to deck that my friends used to play back when onslaught first came out, this one is just updated from then...

 I know the discussion has moved from bringing this from u/b to u/r draw go but , I have also been fooling around with a mono blue control deck here is what I have come up with...

4 Ophidian
2 Morphling
1 Darksteel Colossus 7

4 Force of Will
4 Mana Drain
4 Mana Leak
3 chalice of the void
3 Back to Basics
2 Powder Keg
1 Echoing Truth  21

4 Impulse
1 Merchant Scroll
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk
1 Tinker  8

6 islands
4 wasteland
1 Strip mine
1 Library of Alexandria
2 Polluted Delta
3 Flooded Strand
5 Moxen
1 Black Lotus
1 Sol Ring

my board:

3 Leyline of the Void
2 Tormad's Crypt
2 Control Magic
3  Energy Flux
3 Arcane Lab
2 Propaganda

Match that really haven't given me a problem:

Stax: with Back to Basics and the ability to counter on turn one with Mana Leak I think gives you a good advantage game 2 becomes even better with energy flux on the board

TPS: I haven't played in post brainstorm restriction but pre brainstorm restriction I never had a problem beating TPS, chalice of the void really helps in the match up.

The decks I think that could really cause a problem:

Oath: This is the reason why deck died the first time

Ichorid: Ichorid I gets around control well I think but I don't know for sure, that's what the leylines and the crypt's are for.
Decks That I stop know about because I haven't played in the post restricted era yet:

Control Slaver
Strategic Slaver
Draw Go
or any other deck that has come out since then.

This what I have come up with I hope it helps a little... I think the real key to keeping the deck Mono Blue is the addition of Chalice of the Void.
