Standard Spike: Blue-Black Control in Standard
Posted on July 13, 2011 by _ShipItHolla
This is the place to come if you want to see how to beat Valakut with UB Control.
The U/W match up seems awful. The match up used to be good because U/B was the better JTMS deck (before caw-blade). Since Worlds U/W has gained more good tools than U/B has. The best upgrades U/B got are typically cards that U/W also gained. Not to mention Celestial Purge is really good in the format and good against U/B.
Don’t know what the Valakut player was doing rd1g2, 4 six drops and no acceleration is a mull, every deck in every format.
@ACP
I haven’t had a chance to play vs many U/W, but I think UB is a bit of an edge over that deck as there are just so many ways to destroy the planes walkers once they resolve and before they even get casted.
M2G2 When your opponent played Karn, I cried.
