This isn't exactly true, the u/r version has the advantage over u/w in the one on one match up because it can deal damage to the head.  Other then that I would much rather come to a T1 tournament with U/W then U/R because U/W has superior removal spells and better answers then the U/R version imho, and yea Decree is a pretty big bomb under standstill

You really cant run a full set of power because of the deck's insane need for colored mana sources so having a full set of power really isnt optimal.  Granted there are lots of colorless mana sources like wasteland and Factory, but because you can sneak them under standstill I think that it makes them better then off color mox.

I have tried actually playing pearl in place of the Lotus Petal and I didnt like it, you cant really threat with the first turn standstill or even better you cant threat with first turn mana drain as well either.

Ok Drain is in the deck but it wont let me put it down it keeps saying Prohibit so yeah.... Thus Petal and disk does become relivant.

Nev's Disk is a reset button for me when I let things get too out of hand...the deck can lose to random aggro this was my answer to it...

Time Walk was not omitted from the list I have played with it before and I really dont find it be that strong in this deck since you can pretty much out control your opponent.

Claws of Gix- I started using this again because of Simic Sky Swaller. It can be really hard to deal with if it hits the board thus I started using Claws of Gix to help deal with post board

Ok so I have been playing this deck for about a and a half I make top 8 with it consistanly with it at my local tournaments as well as the power tournaments that I attend. I guess that every time I see a a list for U/W combo it is now where near mine.  So I wanted to post my list and get some critism on it.

The deck itself has its roots from landstill (which is insanley obvious) and WU tang fish(which isnt so obvious)...

OK so the list



MAINDECK:60
Mana Base:26
4xTundra
2xFlooded Strand
2xPolluted Delta
4x Mishra's Factory
2x Faerie Conclave
4x Wasteland
1x Library of Alexandria
1x Strip Mine
1x Mox Sapphire
1x Black Lotus
1x Lotus Petal
2x Island
1x Plains

4x Brainstorm
4x Standstill
1x Ancestral Recall

2x Stifle
4x Swords to Plowshare
2x Nev's Disk
1x Balance
1x Crucible of Worlds

Wins:5
1x Decree of Justice
4x Meddling Mage

The Side Board is ever changing as the meta does but the side board Currently it looks like this

2x Claws of Gix
3x Null Rod
2x Disenchant
2x Energy Flux
3x Chalice of the Void
2x Propaganda
1x Stifle

The deck itself was made to handle combo before the side board was factored in...

When I first made the deck I just got done playing WU tang fish in a tournament and it had something that I really wanted in landstill and that was Meddling Mage so I adjusted the list to make it fit.

Card Chioces:
Mana Base
Tundra- self explained
Flooded Strand- self explained
Polluted Delta- self explained

 Mishra's Factory- this gets under standstill and gets beat with an oath out on the table... even though now it seems that ICBM oath is starting to run them in the main and sideboard

 Faerie Conclave- this is what usually wins the war over the factories because this thing has flying it can beat and it taps for blue mana... although the card is rather slow I still feel it to be good

 Wasteland: I think or feel that I have more of an advantage right more then ever with most deck going to 2 wastelands instead of 4 this means I can take out their mana base while they are trying to stop my beaters

 Library of Alexandria: draws cards under standstill

 Strip Mine:Self Explained
 Mox Sapphire:Self Explained
 Black Lotus: Self Explained
 Lotus Petal- this is in place of pearl merely because of the fact that I can threat with double blue on turn 1 more often with this
 Island: Self Explained
 Plains: Self Explained

Draw:
Brainstorm: Meandeck card and meandeck with fetches

Standstill: This adds a whole other aspect to the game one that I feel has been forgotten and usually comes as a surprise to most people who don't now me

Ancestral Recall: Self Explained

combo/Removal
Force of Will:Self Explained

Prohibit: There are only 3 in the deck merely because it is rather difficult or keep double blue on the board for very long

Mana Leak: There are only three because I really dont feel that it is that strong of a card toward the later game and I often find it to be useless late game.  Early game this card is a house for me

Stifle- This is what really give me an advantage in the combo match game one.. I am either able to stifle their first fetch or I am able to stifle the storm count which can huge

Swords to Plowshare- this is to help deal with the ever growing population of fish as well as welder, most oath creatures and of DSC

 Nev's Disk- this really with oath games 2 and 3 because of Simic being untargetable thus disk helps deal with them

 Balance- again this help with oath games 2 and 3

 Crucible of Worlds- this card is just good even as a singeton

Decree of Justice- this is a huge bomb under the standstill

Meddling Mage- Self Explained

There is another card that will find its way into the deck from time to time and thats Morphling... I just love the card and it often comes to as a surprise and shock to most oppenents

There you have it like I said critism is much welcome
