This is an interesting take on Stasis. I haven't been playing MtG for some time, so I do not know newer cards and the new meta.

That being said, you are probably right. At the time I did my last...

Elves is an entirely different deck with entirely different matchups. My list is definitely not tier 1 but it has matchups it can shine in, especially against decks vulnerable to mana denial. Some...

Sorry for the very late reply, I come here extremely infrequently.

I had some games with this list where I could essentially win by playing a much worse UG Delver strategy. If you do not see your...

Maybe we misunderstood each other: I meant to say I would only include GSZ while cutting a Scryb Ranger. I do not consider cutting control as an option as the deck is slightly short on control...

Good suggestion! Green Sun‘s Zenith is probably better then Scryb Ranger because it allows us to cut a Derevi for more counter magic. GSZ is certainly the better choice of the two search cards as 5...

You could try this (this is my latest list before the inclusion of the now banned Gitaxian Probe):

Lands
4 Tropical Island
4 Tundra
3 Forsaken City
8 Blue Fetchlands

Creatures
4 Quirion...

I've made good experiences vs Delver. Not the BUG variant though, that one was almost an auto scoop and always went 0-2, no matter what I tried.

Grixis Delver was fairly new when I stopped...

Well, I like to think my deck is fairly well optimized for fast Stasis plays and a control shell. Gitaxian Probe has been banned though, I'd replace them with a Land (certainly pick one that makes...

Well, back when I played my list I usually won against Canadian Thresh, but that may have been due to luck. Grixis came up when I stopped playing, but the few games I had, went something like 2-1...

@BlueMB: Those cards are way too expensive CC wise. Also, Seedborn Muse doesn't work because Stasis skips the untap step. I don't know why playing Stasis at instant speed is of any benefit.

Thanks for the input!

I'm not sure Thalia, Heretic Cathar really is better then Derevi. She costs virtually one more mana which is huge in many situations. She also cannot handle threats that are...

Why play a two card combo to sustain Stasis when you can play one card that does it: Quirion Ranger? Sure, you cannot free new mana with the Ranger, but a Dork or Forsaken City can fix that. City can...

I personally dislike Chrome Mox and Meditate in the list used in the video. In my testing I had more success with Bant builds because they are much faster at getting Stasis into play and maintaining...

This seems interesting. I dunno if those ideas are outdated and silly, but I remember seeing an old pox like list using Trade Routes, Loam and utility lands to great effect. Maybe adding green for...

To actually post something constructive concerning Mono U Stasis:
Mono U Stasis has the problem of missing out on the best engine (Quirion Ranger). You are still vulnerable to wasteland because you...

Welcome to Stasis Control!

First, this is certainly not a tier 1 deck. It might be tier 2 in certain metas and definitely has good matchups. The deck has some serious weaknesses: Blood Moon,...

And trolling makes it so much warmer. Seriously you are picking on the card marked as bad choice in the list of cards marked to be there for sake of completeness. But if you are so sure about my...

I honestly don't think Black Vise will be more then a SB card for us. Mono U has the severe disadvantage of loosing half their games because they cannot find Stasis (unless they play slow cards like...

I honestly don't see a good use of Black Vise. It is a damage option for some creatureless prison decks yes, but it most likely won't make those deck viable.

As for Stasis, it isn't a great option...

Thank you very much! Sadly the numbers are a little too low hurting statistical relevance. I remember reading such an article when Mystical Tutor ANT and Reanimator where around, it very clearly...

Oh, dang! I did read 'planeswalkers' as players when quickly going over the cards.

I haven't tested this deck but since dragons are cool n stuff I did a little search for dragons :)
This is very much a brainstorm post, I hope it is not completely off topic.

Dragonlord Kolaghan...

I'm not a big fan of hypothetical comparisons. DTT is not draw 7, it's look at 7 and draw 2. But that doesn't matter, the card is still busted and it will get banned sooner or later.

+1

Dig for UU is also much stronger then Brainstorming twice

I wouldn't be surprised if that theory is right. There has been an in depth analysis on the strength Mystical Tutor Reanimator before Mystical Tutor got banned. It was really enlightening.
The kind...
