hello i have been playing MTG for a very long time but since(since mirage) i was just playing as a little kid and with my friends i have only really been a serious player for a couple of years. I have decided to make a (or try) mo make a competitive type 1 deck. I know that there are people that have really good and very annoying. The deck that i have is a u/w control with solitary confinement as one of the main cards. Now i don't play solitary very early its probably one of the last things that i play or if I'm losing. I don't have many counters even though its control but with all of the searching its OK and with chalice. My one big kill is eternal dragon. I choose eternal because i don't want to draw a really big creature early in the game and just it sitting in my hand. I would rather have it do something in the mean time. I also have 1 millstone in there just in case, I think that it is better that grindstone. I have been playtesting it a lot. against so many decks, goblin, weenie, fish everything and i can do Farly well i win more than 70 percent of the time.  I can beat my friends thaumatog deck, which surprisingly can win 2nd or 3rd turn if played properly. Also i have play test against a mono blue control with arcane lab. It takes a while but i can pull if off. The only thing that i might need help with is other control decks. Please do not suggest P9 because i wont be able to get them but i am leaning towards mana drain because i finally have a job. For some conterspells i choose arcane denial because i find it a lot better even though your opponent gets to draw so do you its acceptable loses. This deck was part green until i posted that and got some suggestions and changed it to this thank you crazzykid8108 Mr. Green. So finally here is the deck and thank you for your support

3-Squee, Goblin Nabob

An Exalted Angel and Decree of Justice would be nice Kill conditions. Angel can get down early and you'll just have to protect her.

Try getting room for Counterspell or Mana Drain instead of Arcane Denial since Denial gives your opponents more threats. Smile Confinement+squee lock is intereseting, but it's just a "I don't lose" card. It'd be better if you invest more cards in trying to win instead of playing turtle (even if this IS a control deck) Smile

Oh yes, a random Wrath or Akroma's Vengeance would be nice.

Please put in BALANCE. Smile
