I know Ivan Flochs deck gets a lot of hate, but i love watching it played. I've never been very good running control and he is very good at it.

Why is there so much hate for U/W? Control has been a strategy in MTG for as long as the game has been around. You may find it boring to watch but it certainly isn't an easy deck to play, especially after 9 rounds or whatever. It is very decision heavy and one wrong move can cost you the game. It isn't even the most oppressive deck in standard at the moment, (think about the affect Affinity, Faeries, and Caw-Blade had on standard during their time), so why bitch about it? Yea Rev and Verdict are dick cards but so is Thoughtseize and Pack Rat, so is having a million burn spells slung at your face. Plus, they rotate out in just over a month so quit whining.

@nikolausnowak114610 жыл бұрын
That being said U/W control is an awesome design overall to go with the theme of the Azorius guild in Ravnica/Return to Ravnica. The Azorius are a powerful government organization that "controls" its citizens and enemies through subtle and distinct ways. Red creatures are in your face and you can see how you are dying on the battlefield each turn until you die. But with Azorius, they kill you, and you can't really see why or how (until you play against it multiple times). I believe Azorius control takes a skilled player to play efficiently and requires skill and even arguably luck to play against. It is strong if played precisely and that is why a lot of people lose to it and do not like it. Wizards cannot listen to complainers because it was one of the most awesome design elements from the set to go with the theme of the guilds. Absolutely brilliant in my opinion.

I've tried my hand at control and I admit, I'm not the best with it so kudo's to Floch. Also, Coneley's deck = sweet.

It's not broken. But it is basically the best spell you can cast late game right now. I also don't understand why Wizards would keep the same control shell around for 2 years now. We've seen Esper control for so long just because the RtR Uw Cards were so strong. They didn't do anything against control...

A broken card is a card that defines a format and needs to be banned! If you don't like to play with and against control decks, that's your opinion, but nothing more than that... You can see a lot more MonoBlack Devotion decks (and with better results than Revelation decks), MonoBlue, B/W Midrange, Jund Monsters, than Control decks on Standard... And usually there isn't a Revelation deck on the first place at SCGs Opens and GPs... It's MonoB and MonoU the majority of times! So, where's that broken card, defining the actual Standard format, where everyone needs to play it if they want a chance to win?!?... No one have to be a fan of Control/UW/Revelation decks... For those who doesn't enjoy it, it's boring, I agree!... But that's Magic! Deck types for every player to be able to enjoy the game! If someone are wasting his time hating and raging about a card or a deck-type that he doesn't like... It's his own problem!

Just saying
