The promise of red green control really makes low power cube sound super juicy! ghostly flicker archaeomancer temple of deceit Out of curiosity, did this interaction ever come up in any drafts?

So I didn't really know if there was a place to post these kinds of "groupings of cards" so I'm just making a new one. dead weight executioner's capsule fiery conclusion Geistblast angelic purge innocent blood molten vortex harvest pyre bonds of faith bone shredder I had these lying on...

ghostly flicker Not to mention the fact that it can form a little combo deck with blink effects.

laboratory maniac Hey, you can even use it together with this guy!

I have to concurr. A lot of really neat little interactions.

Dug up some stuff that looked menacing. Maybe good enough to test play against over cockatrice or something like that?

I was thinking you could sift through the 3-0 thread for some different variants of early-pressure decks and late-game value decks.

I liled that ub control deck! How important would you say is the card pool restriction vs having the themes you set out in the OP? For devotion I know that theres some interesting still standard power level hybrid cards that could help making support of devotion less of a heavy color...

Since these control deck ideas are pretty new and novel, why not build a little gauntlet of 40 card singleton decks and play some games with the G/x loam control and see how it fairs? Nothing like some actual field testing. Edit: Also, Courser of Kruphix would really do good as a big body in...

Theres also the black tutors: demonic tutor Imperial seal Vampiric tutor Dark petition

Wouldnt it be enough with gifts, fact or fiction and some tutors?

That's a really beautiful little check list for what a control list should be able to do.

I wonder how that card would fair in a bounce land CIPT environment? The bounce lands give some opportunity to do ramp plays with untappers to get it out earlier, and incentivises splashes with the bounce lands (so that you get enough of them to rely on the untap plan). A CIPT format is also...

I dont know how cube specific a thread like this can be, so making anectodal judgements on cards seem like a poor way to make the most of the topic. I think it is better to say what kind of format a fun looking card would be a best fit for, rather than saying "this card is bad because I run my...

You would really need to have copius amounts of both artifacts and +1/+1 counters. Seems very very narrow without really a propper reward?

You can also use dimir house guards to transmute for mystical teachings :p

It suffers a bit vs control in the way flame strike does, right? And I know Ive seen aggro decks run flame strike in the main.

Milita feels kind of like a token card. Those deck don't have to invest fully as much in cards to get as a board presence, so flipping it will be realistic. Playing militia captain with spectral procession seems gross, but she might also just be a bear.

To summarize what I've seen in this thread so far, the idea seems to be for control to win with; mill (mesmeric orb, sphinx's tutelage, nephalia drownyard, increasing confusion) reanimator (gifts ungiven + unburial rites, or any kind of loot effect and reanimator spells. Possibly dread...

Using some synergy / combo as the big finnish to a control match sounds like a nice incentive to play all those counterspells and sweepers. Like, it gives you something to work towards, some real game plan that has drama.
