What does EBA stand for?  

other than that what a diff between canadian prices and merkin ones..

"Alfred
As for your mana base how is 21 lands working for you?"

21 lands did present a problem  but I couldn't bring myself to cut anything to add a few more  

"COUNTERSPELL
this deck does do well but UW control is too slow for the type 1 metagame."

Yes, I agree. The group I play with plays mostly for fun (most of us anyways, there's always an alpha type or two in any group).

Thanks for the feedback. I have taken most of the suggestions and come up with this list that I am going to test out this weekend with the boys. I don't know how I can fit in four wastelands as Flurp suggested.

Also I am curious as to why Alfred considers intuition better than Impulse? I am not knocking his choice of one over the other just want to know the thought process that led to that decision....

Hello, I'm a scrub who plays with other scrubs and this is the deck that I use some of the time. If you can give me suggestions on the sideboard in particular, I would be most grateful. If this is the wrong place to post, accept my appologies in advance...

U/W
10 X Islands
6 X plains
4 X Tundra

4 X Swords to Plowshares
3 X Disenchant
1 X Wrath of God
3 X Abeyance
2 X Meddling Mage

4 X Brainstorm
4 X Accumulated Knowledge
2 X Impulse
1 X Fact or Fiction

4 X Force of Will
2 X Arcane Denial
4 X Counterspell (Mana Drain)
4 X Mana Leak

3 X Morphling

Sideboard

3 X Stifle
2 X Control magic
2 X Misdirection
3 X Hydroblast
2 X Tormod’s Crypt
3 X CotV

It is a counter deck with Morphling as the kill condition. I know it is slow but I am just getting back into magic and I'm slow on the pick up...

Most of the scrubs I play with have no power cards, although we do have games where we can proxy nine cards , so I mostly see Sligh, Suicide Black, Mono Blue, Stompy and rogue decks.

Is U/W still viable. Are there better cards out there that I can use?
