Dies to Removal

I'd rather have 20 inches of snow than 20 inches of redthirst.

Come on, that's just the tip

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...

I wouldn't run that list myself, it can be done better.

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

Only if you promise to love me forever.

I'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.

there is no substitution for rev

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.

Volunteer.

You have my axe.

Dammit Khaos why'd you have to pick the end of the quote.

Because if the FoS were the Fellowship of the Ring, I would be Gimli. So...yeah. That would be my line.

Someone make an FoS Fellowship list. Go.

Hows this for a deck.

i went 3-1 with this.

z, I'll help with proofreading if you'd like.

I can't do this. I just can't.

However...

I think Z would be Legolas since he's a pretty man ( )and could probably fight his way through a crowd of orcs...or thugs.

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. 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.

DroppinSmeagol

Ham could be Elrond maybe? He's one smart muthafucka, that's right!

DroppinSmeagol

Agreed - Suga would be Gollum/Smeagol.

I'm good with this.

Daw.

Shit, I dunno where photo and windstrider would fit in. Too awesome and smart to go off traveling with us band of misfits?

Photo could be Theoden: smart, stalwart, sticks to his convictions, and rushes to help those in need.

I'd be Faramir.

I'd be the Witch King of Angmar.

i'd be tauriel and spend all my time alone in my room

I'd be the Witch King of Angmar.

Talked up big but ultimately doesn't do much and dies to someone much weaker? I could see that.

I'd be the One Ring. duh.

but nobody desires you or covets you or finds you precious

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

Everybody desires some Suga.

I had the most glorious play at EDH today. I had a Nevi disc in play and this kid thought he was going to shit on everyone with his mimeoplasm and his blatant thievery. I waited until he stole everyone's creatures and used his mana and then cracked the disc. The look on his face was priceless.

I loves me some [card]Nevinyrral's Disk[/card]. By the way, what the fuck did he think was going to happen with a disk in play? Did he not see it?

Tube is in fine form today. Bravo. Many laughs were had.

One does not simply Droppinto a volcano.

Apparently he didn't see the disk. It was pretty funny anyways.

Make that Disk indestructible and we be blowin' all night long.

I'd be Faramir.

Y'know, I did think that and almost posted so. Lol

But I was trying to stick to the Fellowship.

my lgs is putting on a dollar tournament.

Any card legal in legacy, but has to be under 1.00 on SCG.

Make the best pauper deck you can I guess?

Make that Disk indestructible and we be blowin' all night long.

That's the plan for next week.

[deck]Dimir Control[/deck]
Creatures
1 Aetherling

Planeswalkers
4 Jace, Architect of Thought

Artifacts
1 Elixir of Immortality
2 Ratchet Bomb

Instants
4 Dissolve
2 Far // Away
4 Hero's Downfall
3 Opportunity
2 Syncopate
2 Ultimate Price

Sorceries
4 Divination
4 Thoughtseize

Lands
4 Dimir Guildgate
4 Mutavault
4 Temple of Deceit
4 Watery Grave

6 Island
5 Swamp
[/deck]

That's my starting point.

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.
