Union of the Third Path may not be an exciting Magic card, but I kinda love it 😍
There were whispers of a playable UW Control deck in Standard so obviously I had to play it!

The 6 fields is a lot but then you think about how many lands control is worried about in Standard. There's all the manlands, and Mirrex, and Cavern.

I do wonder if the 2 Devious coverups were the plan against long domain matches. Thanks for showcasing the deck Jim.

I think Field of Ruin and Demolition Field are a little underrated in standard right now, there's a lot of people who have gotten far too greedy about their basic count

@as95ms98 5 ай бұрын

Couldn't agree more. Between some people getting greedy with their basic count, and the large volume of good creature lands (cottage, workshop, vents, anchorage) and utility lands (Mirrex, Cavern of Souls, that one land that taps for two mana for land abilities) I always have 2-3 Field of Ruins/Demolition Fields in my deck.

@deadneck13 5 ай бұрын

I also appreciate how a well timed Field can color fix a rough draw.

@rekenner 5 ай бұрын

@@deadneck13... but if you don't have the Field in your deck, you probably don't have the rough draw in the first place

@deadneck13 5 ай бұрын

@@rekenner lol. Yeah, mana bases are always perfect when you don't have a Field. And you always draw the answer you need.

@simonchi5372 5 ай бұрын

I have observed people are way too trigger happy on their field of ruin, blowing up dual lands for no reason when i have a mirrex waiting in hand. But yes field of ruin is real nice against some decks, especially if you're control and cavern of souls hoses your counters.

what do people think about 4 x Get Lost? i have played with this card and i still can't figure out if its better, worse, or the same as Fateful Absence and whether its worth playing more than 2 copies of.

If you do try the mindsplice apparatus deck, consider splashing red for big Chandra and the extra turn spell (alchemist’s gambit). Spending 3 mana to take an extra turn is ok, doubling it is bonkers

@isaakward4393 5 ай бұрын

Don’t you just lose on the first extra turn tho?

@ciaran.downey 5 ай бұрын

@@isaakward4393 no, it’s 3 mana cleaved (the colored pips) and mindsplice discounts the generic costs

Caverns make counters so bad, it's almost better to just main Noncreature Counters and swap out other counters for Removal or Sweeping. I've seen a top 8 Azorius build that straight up Main Decked a few Temporary Lockdowns and Elspeth's Smite.

@isaakward4393 5 ай бұрын

We got fields for cavern of souls! Super good against rakdos which wants to name a couple of creature types.

@adamj93 5 ай бұрын

First opponent did exactly what I do against Azorius Control in Explorer, just walked away from the keyboard and let the control player stew in their filth for a bit lol. Usually I'll just start a KZfaq video on the side and perform an action at the last second to extend the match as long as possible. If you don't want to run a win condition in your deck then let's make sure nobody wins!

With field of ruins being a necessity, control decks need a really good reason to be more than 2 colors these days.

Counterspells are just so bad now in standard… might as well just have a couple strokes in the board or something and just focus on sweepers and removal

Love azorious but this deck is too old school to be playable. Also, that boros player was having a brain meltdown every turn. Must be running on steam
