In comment on the UB control thing, a dude here ran the list from GP Shizuoka and was the only undefeated in the swiss at the tourney last week.
That said, it has problems with b/x devo more then any of the other top decks, which considering how silly popular that deck is...

Anyway, time to publish another article, any proof reader volunteers?

Opportunity; but it's not like you just try to substitute cards; the deck would be a bit different. It's completely a meta call.there is no substitution for revI've got an idea for a UB Control variant for GP Melbourne (Standard); going to work on it for two weeks; if it doesn't come together ill play UW Control.

Because if the FoS were the Fellowship of the Ring, I would be Gimli. So...yeah. That would be my line.Dammit Khaos why'd you have to pick the end of the quote.


In a pinch, Khaos' beard can help turn this around.
I rarely skip a Khaospawn wall of text because I know there is always piss at the end of the rainbow.

I can't do this. I just can't.Someone make an FoS Fellowship list. Go.
However...
I think Z would be Legolas since he's a pretty man (

I think redthirst would be Gandalf only because Gandalf says what he means, yet is pretty wise. I see that in redthirst.
LP woud be Aragorn because he's a rugged motherfucker with a sense of honor. Plus he's good in a scrap.
Kaze would be Boromir because I could see Kaze one day getting really drunk, attempt to take something that isn't his, and then end up with an arrow in the back. Love you, Kaze.
Nobody deserves to be
one of the Hobbits. That's why this so hard.
Although I could imagine Helios as Merry.

Although I could imagine Helios as Merry.Merry is funny and aloof, but is a good friend with a sense of duty. He sticks by his friends and tries to do the right thing. And even when his friends get into trouble, Merry would be there right along with them, attempting to pull their asses out of the fire.

I have to agree with madding here, the only way you resemble the ring is the joy one would get from throwing you into a volcano

Y'know, I did think that and almost posted so. LolPhoto could be Theoden: smart, stalwart, sticks to his convictions, and rushes to help those in need.
I'd be Faramir.
But I was trying to stick to the Fellowship.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the list, it just lacks the depth of UW in my opinion. Thoughtseize isn't great against control unless in multiples so I don't see you beating a control deck with more planeswalkers. Remember, they have Elixir too, and more win-cons to recycle.
Standard hobos who play budget garbage should be looked upon with suspicion.
