It looks pretty solid. Could use some more spell support. How did it end for you? | ||

The rares are great but some of the early support is just not there. Glistener elf and the betrayers are pretty loose in your deck imo. You need stuff like ichorclaw and cystbearer to hold you until your bombs, not that many myr . also, 17 land 4 myr? seems a bit much. did you have no other playable cards? I wouldn't rely on triumph to make the myr useful, but that is just me. | ||

Looks like the typical infect problem on modo, good cards early but the archetype is overdrafted, so you don't have any good support. One of the reasons I hate drafting infect is that you often have to rely on SOM to give you a lot of playables, and it usually doesn't. | ||

What's the opposite of "power creep?" Power erosion? I was not around for the release of Alara or Zendikar, having returned to MtG around late New Phyrexia, but I just been getting over my general discomfort with things like Titans and Planeswalkers, - my eyes really got wide when I first saw Baneslayer Angel. Innistrad (and I guess, also the whole SoM Block) have really pulled the power level back, I'd say. To be specific about certain things, I'm a little disappointed with the Counterspells. Frightful Delusion is definitely not bad but nothing brilliant there. Anyways, I have a feeling Standard will be a pretty different animal from ZEN/SOM. EDIT: Official Visual Spoilers | ||

Of course, there is a place for control in the game. It is usually the most skill-intensive and reasonably interactive but a brief competitive meta of Birthing Pods, White Weenie, Tribal Werewolves and a splash of U/B and U/W Control isn't too bad. Also, after further thought, Lost in the Mist is surprisingly not awful. 3 and BB for: Counter target spell. Return target permanent to its owner's hand. It's like Cancel with a Kicker, kind of. Maybe it is terrible...needs playtesting. EDIT: Ummm, sorry Lost in Mist is 3 and UU. | ||

Edit: OH! You mean UU3. U = blue and B = Black for most people, I got super scared for a second X_X Also its not quite Cryptic command, but 2 of my most used modes for 1 more. I like it. | ||

Are you able to cast the spell to just bounce a permanent w/o countering a spell or do you have to do both? If you HAVE to do both it seems like it makes the card a lot worse.. I can see situations arising where you want to bounce something, but you can't because your opponent isn't casting any spells. I can also see just as many situations arising where there's really nothing on the board that's really worth bouncing so your basically paying 5 mana for a counterspell.. I'd rather just run mana leak and into the roils and be able to counter/bounce stuff before turn 5.. | ||
