| I gave a list to Martin so he should still have it but it was a home brew of 5-color cruel control that ran 4 wrath, 2 elspeth and ajani vengeant and four DISCOBOBULATE11

| Yep Tim ran 4 Discombobulate and it was basically Cruel Control which is what beat me and my inability to draw a single discard spell in a deck that was running 12 discard spells! I will try to post your deck later tonight Timmy!

| It is posted tell me what you all think
BTW Martin would have beat me if I has kept in the pain lands I initially put in and Ben's black white token deck touched me in a way I do not feel appropriate to mention on the site.

| The deck looks interesting. The only things that i can think of is to replace the executioners capsules with terrors and discombobulate with broken ambitions. Terror comes online quicker and is an instant. Broken ambition counters stuff alot quicker than discombobulate and between the 2 changes you would have a much better early game. One last thing, i would replace sift with telling time. You have to tap at sorcery speed with sift. That can leave you open and unable to counter, while telling time is an instant. I also love the collosus maindeck. Congrats on the win, tim. |

| I like that you took a new spin on Cruel Control, a deck that hasn't even seen much play at the Horse as of late. I like the Executioner's Capsule because it just sits on the board as a deterrent for the other player to put out critters.

| Why would it act as a deterrant? If im looking over at capsule, i just play subpar creatures. Ill hold my best creatures back. If im in control, holding back for less effective creatures wont be a problem. If terror is there instead of capsule, chances are, you get my best creature. And if i dont have control and i have to run my best dude into capsule, then terror would have been just as good. The bottom line is that capsule gives your opponent better information, and as such, they have options and may be able to play around capsule more effectively. Plus artifact hate could destroy capsule and render it ineffective, thereby protecting my creature. |

| It's a deterrent, that's keeping you form playing your best creatures than. If they stay in your hand, how will you win? Also, the capsule destroys artifact creatures. Terror does not.

| Ill win because they will use their kill spell on subpar stuff, allowing my good creatures to survive. And if i have something like naturalize then ill just destroy capsule and then play my creature. Naturalize doesnt stop terror. Besides, ive looked at most of the recent decks posted on this site, and almost none of them run artifacts at all. Of course most players in taylorville dont post their decks so i dont know if your metagame has a lot of esper decks or not. I was wondering why this is so? If i was playing regularly i would love to post decks that ive played. |

| I'm siding with people are lazy. Myself included. Of course, If my deck does well I post it, but when I build something that I think will be good, and sucks, I come home and burn the cards before I can compose myself to post it.
