It does butt heads with an already-top-heavy curve, but the one-of aspect of the spell here would likely serve us well as an “oh-crap” card that can pull us out of some pretty deep holes. Many times in testing, this card felt strikingly similar to Far / Away (R.I.P.) due to its ability to completely turn the tides of the game on its own. With this Command, we can take them out alongside a mid-sized creature or a noncreature spell. With the unfortunate loss of Hero's Downfall at rotation, control decks lose much of their ways to deal with resolved Planeswalkers. Icefall counts as a Dragon for our themed spells and lands hard on turn-5 to lock down a threat, often forcing the opponent to use up his or her next turn to deal with it (if even possible).Īnother card I previously did not care for but am steadily growing fond of is Silumgar's Command. In future-Standard testing, Icefall is far more dependable in a format without Lightning Strike and Bile Blight, where the new removal is more expensive and tends to be slower. A friendly-yet-perhaps-unfamiliar face Ive decided to add belongs to Icefall Regent.

The vast majority of these cards arent new but havent necessarily been given their full time to shine in control decks yet.

Here be dragons a Blue/Black Control deck which utilizes the board-balancing strength of Dragonlord Silumgar, the stabilizing power of Silumgar, the Drifting Death, and the raw force behind Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. Join me, friends, as we gallivant through a veritable managerie of post-rotation decks sure to pique your interest and have you all back at FNM in full force! While its unfortunate that the debate on the sets quality is torn between one side that says its awful and the other side that says its not that awful, I assure you there are still plenty of gems hiding therein. Through many late-night, eggnog-fueled laments (Im sure), weve said our final goodbyes to the glory-brimming Theros block (along with its Igoresque henchman, M15) and now only have the seemingly unfulfilling Battle for Zendikar set to look forward to.
