Hey everyone I wanted to get some feedback on my take of UW control. I played this deck at GP Detroit in the midst of Eldrazi Winter and got my first pro point- given my comfort with the deck I will be running this back at GP Indy shortly. Currently with this build my combined record is 12-1-2 with my loss coming to RUG Shift and my 2 draws coming against a slow CoCo player and a slower Jeskai Nahiri player.

I won 2 byes with this list for Indy so unlike last time, I don't have to get railed by Rd 1 game 1 and 3 Blood Moons (hopefully). One card that has been VERY good for me is Blessed Alliance- It kills an attacker, it gains life and it can occasionally ambush another attacker with Snapcasters. The highlight of Blessed Alliance so far has been block with Jace- tap Jace to flip opponent goes to bolt Jace when I play and double escalate Alliance to kill the second attacker, gain 4 and get another loot to flip Jace before the bolt resolves.
