UGwb kind of aggro-control

[eev]

Hi all.
i know there are some other threads about similiar decks and i took a look on them.
However the point is that this deck was builded from scratch after seeing survival ug agro control and after that the addition of two colors and cards was done without looking at other lists. i mean HL should be fun, and playing cards u like is fun. however at this point i see some problems with this deck in therms of consistency and maybe clock. Maybe someone is being so kind and would give me some advices to improve the deck without big changes? or this is not possible and i should switch to agro-control UGw builds or UGwb control? dont want to change a lot of things mostly because majority of cards are foils and it was pretty hard to trade many of them and this deck is not for tournaments or something like that. thanks in advance.

i am thinking about including also Vendetta and Recurring Nightmare to this list. However dont for which cards i should exchange them. Also after removing damnation because of BB in costs i think about engeniiring explosives like option. Mana base is without Tundra and Underground Sea because i dont own them. 10 basics are included mostly because without this ammount deck has auto-loose vs decks which support Moon or Back to basics.

well, first i think u should add squee, squee is just too powerful with surival.
Recurring nightmare is quite good in these decks, you should also think of: necromancy, animate dead.

You only play 4 counters, have u consider adding more or removing them? (remand, mana leak, dont know if u can get UU easily on 2nd and 3rd turn, so..)


well i would cut these:

- kira  great glass spinner
- nantuko vigilante
- tomb stalker
- life/death
- smother
- unearth


would add:
- crop rotation
- volrath stronghold
- intuition
- squee
- putrefy
- necromancy/animate dead
- recurring nightmare
- shriekmaw

but it depends a bit on your meta. if u have trouble with your mana base, just add mana fixers (artifacts or things like farseek, green has lots of them)

Overall it looks quite good.

tnx for your reply.
i would like to defend Kira, as being very good creature always, she is defenetly better in the game than it looks like. Unearth is just back Tarmo, Kira, Witness or Mongrel and with cycling it's always good. smother is also solid removal. But i will take in account Stalker, Vigilante and Life//Death and will test deck without them. Vigiliante is great card but somehow it's always a bit slow. I was thinking about necromancy to, if i will grab a copy i will try.
I tryed to play with more counters like Mana Leak, Remand but now testing without them and dunno really what is better. I will try to add them instead of things u suggested and test it again. However i agree that 4 counters is too random.
And what u think about adding Vendetta? never played this card, on paper it looks solid but in real life it can perform different.

[Mythrandir]

no prob.

As for vendetta i think its good in aggro decks that need quick cheap answers.. but since u play a non-linear aggro i ´d go with shriekmaw or putrefy.

I think that necromancy or animate is better than unearth just because u can target your opponent´s grave.
