Short and simple, UBW Aggro Control (needs a name) is based on Tempo Threshold and Team America, disrupt the opponent's manabase and beatdown - however the distinction is UBW Aggro Control emphasizes the Control aspect of the deck by cutting Green and relying on Bitter Blossom and Vindicate as more than just a beater and LD spell i.e. Bitter Blossom goes toe to toe with any threat in the format and Vindicate clears the board of any permanent. While Bitter Blossom is no where near as good as Tarmogoyf, Bitter Blossom avoids Tarmogoyf vs Tarmogoyf stalemates and allows the deck to abuse the SB Perishes vs the Zoo and Elf decks that've been running a muck. We probably lose some ground vs decks like Goblins, but Team America's ground vs Goblins was shaky at best so it's not that big of a deal. Any way, I thought the deck was interesting enough to share. It's not exactly ground breaking, but it's a pretty effective way of putting Stifle and Vindicate into the same deck, and that's pretty hot IMO.
