    Wall of Omens and Potion of Healing are better cantrips than Bandage but promote a tap-out control deck instead of a draw-go control deck. Even if...

    Those other cards seem too conditional to be playable. Squeezing in some Leyline Bindings between StP & PEnding is probably the best move. Leyline...

    Soul Snare does answer Marit Lage. Or maybe you keep StP but replace PEnding with instant Leyline Binding, since your mana already produces 3-4...

    Bandage sucks obviously. It's there because it's the last piece that keeps this as the Rabid Wombat deck. Otherwise it's just generic mono W control....

    Although you have a few ways to turn off the lifeloss, you're also an 80-card deck with a slow clock. It might be OK goldfishing, but a disruptive...
