    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    One last bump before I give up on the deck. I played this at my local tournament this week:
    2 Snapcaster Mage
    2 Baleful Strix
    2 Vendilion Clique
    2 Ponder
    4 Brainstorm
    2 Disfigure
    3 Abrupt...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    First off, thank you for the suggestions! I'm not a very experienced Standstill player, but learning the archetype with a bit of a brew has been fun. Of course it's always valuable to get advice...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    I feel bad posting a list that hasn't been battle-tested, but this thread is so dead... I've been testing Deedstill to pretty good success on cockatrice:
    2 Baleful Strix
    2 Snapcaster Mage
    2...

    This is the data that DTB is based on: http://www.tcdecks.net/metagame.php?format=Legacy&fecha=2013-3
    If you drill into the "BUG Control" archetype, it's clear that the majority are Shardless BUG:...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Ah, I did forget about Strix and Pulse. Baleful Strix is the tits.

    I found Thresh pretty easy, but didn't test extensively. Having basics was essential. Both seem relatively favorable.

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Catmint - has Tombstalker been a problem out of BUG Delver? Your only answers seem to be counterspells, Jace, and Liliana, and it seems like you would board most of the first two out.

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    I think this deck can't beat a competent goblins player. Not even great, just competent. I've played various builds of BUG control in 2 local tournaments, lost 3 of 3 matches to goblins with 3...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Played in a local 20-man last night. Ended up losing in top 8 again. Similar list to last time, changes:
    Main -
    -2 Tarmogoyf, -1 Ghastly Demise, -1 Jitte, -1 Island, +2 Ponder, +1 Engineered...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Tested against ANT between rounds today and was happy with Strix. He pitches to Force or replaces himself and puts them under a little pressure. Also, I've been happy with Clique in the main. ...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Agreed with this. Tested some more against Miracles, it feels pretty much like they're a Jace and Entreat combo deck. It really doesn't matter how many cards you throw away in the Jace fight,...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    For what it's worth, there's a thread in New and Dev that looks very similar. It looks like it's trying to get off the ground, but it's pretty sweet.

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    I love me some Shardless Agent, but I'm nervous about playing against thresh and combo with a bunch of multicolored 3-drops and no Pierces. But if you've been having good results, it seems worth...

    Re: [DTB] Team America (Midrange/Control Thread)

    Catmint - I haven't played the Goblins matchup, but I can see how it would be hard. A 100-man tournament in Europe was won by BUG tempo and had 3 other BUG decks in the top 8. All but one had 3+...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (Control Thread)

    You make good points, thanks for the advice! I have to differ with some of them though. First, a list and a small tournament report:

    3 Deathrite Shaman
    1 Snapcaster Mage
    3 Tarmogoyf
    2 Baleful...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (Control Thread)

    I've been testing/brewing a BUG control list after getting frustrated to losing to Miracles with all these sweet combo decks.
    I'm not playing discard main because it seems like counterspells are...

    Re: [Deck] BUG Planeswalker Control

    I'm not saying Intuition isn't cool, I'm saying it isn't worth the time invested in it. Sure, you can spend a turn to tutor for countermagic or removal, but what good is that going to do you when...

    Matt -
    I really don't like Intuition in the deck. It does allow you to find Loam + value, but at the end of the day, it's a 3 mana spell that doesn't even come close to winning the game and finding...

    Seeing Nick Spagnolo's success in the Baltimore Invitational, I'm thinking about switching. The list that I'm testing currently (still rough, but testing well):
