Ok, I need help deciding what to play. Heres the story: First tournament since my old extended days (when dual lands were legal), and I have no clue what the Meta is. I can afford pretty much everything but the power 9. I'm a control player at heart, so I definatly want to play blue (and use mana drains
) Blue seems really slow without jewelry, so I think my chalices are an auto-include. (I don't want to loose to random red or some kid playing stompy). Now, I know "the control" deck is Keeper, or a variation (like the one being discussed in the big boy forums) thereof, but I'm not comfortable (or experienced enough) to only play 8 real counters. So, I could go boring and do mono-blue. Control-Slavery looks really fun, but i'm not quite sure if it works, you don't have the moxes, so you'd run out of things to sac if you can't force the opponent to commit suicide. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.
