Welcome to another episode of Friday Night Magic,
Your weekly destination for exciting magic games played online every Friday night in Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers!
This deck was built by Monk1410 and is available here: http://forum.nogoblinsallowed.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=4948&start=140#p281861
This is a RUG control deck (Red, Blue, Green) which focuses primarily on abusing Jalira's ability to sacrifice cheaper creatures (like tokens) in order to get big bad fatties into play (such as Kozilek, Butcher of Truth).
In addition, we have the ability of using an infinite turn combo with the use of Archeomancer, Species Gorger and Time Warp.
Other cards in this deck include control staples such as Quicken (not to be confused with the money software) and Dissolve. We also run some removal such as Shock, Ground Assault and Anger of the Gods so that we can deal with our opponents' early threats and be able to stabilize through to mid/late game where we really shine.
No control deck would be complete without a good draw engine, so we are using several copies each of Inspiration and Think Twice, a recurring draw spell that allows us to play it twice; hence, the name.
With all these cards that we're drawing, it's no time before we will draw the ones we need to shut out the game. In some cases, that can take quite a long time, and sometimes we have to use certain cards just to stall into late game. Fear not however, because there's an answer for milling yourself out as well. Kozilek's ability allows him and everything in your graveyard to be shuffled into your library whenever he himself is put into the yard from anywhere. The cool thing about that is then we can take advantage of this by using Satyr Wayfinder to give us lands, and shuffle our yard into our library should we hit a Kozilek along the way.
I really like the way this deck works. However, there are some problems. Namely, as can be seen in this video, the control mirror is terrible without an Obelisk of Alara. In this case, my opponent had one in the second game and I was in big trouble.
Nevertheless this deck is more than capable of standing on its own two feet and can be absolutely devastating if allowed to go off.
