No i haven't that's why I'm asking what's so good about it.
Currently at my local FNM, the latest craze is UW control playing old skool with huge number of counters and pride to make tokens every turn. If Stalking Stones was in their deck list it'll be like the deck Randy Buelher piloted.
Sides that, anyone seen Lotus Bloom from the upcoming Time Spiral ? *drool*
ok...
i'm not sure this will really good or not but this is how i play against control deck...
best way to beat is timing...
let say he got untap mana whihc is mstly to cast a counter card...
if u can only cast a card dun bother...
be patient and end ur turn and he'll waste his mana for that turn...
this really annoy them and there wil be a time when they'll loose their patient and get careless provding a window for u to mass cast ur cards...
when u succeed then they need to boucne back ur cards if they got but u will always get to hit them back while they waste their cards...
of course u need to have mana and low mana cost stuffs...
another general tip would be dropping a fake card...
let say u got a jitte and another 1/2 mana cost card..
play the fake card and see if they counter or not...
if they counter then play ur main threat...
if they dun coutner then end ur turn...
this will really get on their nerve... wasting their time and mana...
in the end they'll counter the fake card sooner or later and boom drop ur jitte and end the game...
for me the best against control decks are low cost hand control decks...
the cards would be cry, rav rat, shreking, castgate and other low cost monsters like konda and stuffs...
low mana cost cards like rav rat, cry plus shiriking are easy to cast and leave ur opponent in a cast or discard osition which mostly they'll discard a land or counter providing yet a window for u to cast other stuffs (eg jitte or dark confidant)...
card disadvantage for ur opponent will soon hnder their ablity to counter and dsrupt while u hammer them badly...
wut more it give u board control and rat can hit for damage or yield jittte...
low costing konda like above and provide a big treat early game which force the to bounce it back...
it also provide target for cry...
still leave some low cost cards in hand for emergency as UW should pack 4 wrath...
btw most of these strategies comes from usng my BW hand control deck which i realy love as it gave the best result for me so far...
so far still have a perfect record unlike my other ideas...
for other deck:
burn: always drop ur seal of fire b4 u cast any cards as seal is low mana cost and see their reaction... try burn them fast or burn the tokens and stuffs with pyro and many more...
solar flare: try get enough mana and out paced them... try to persecute ocne u can!
snakes: ur tokens and card advantage should beat them fast with ur great mana build u and low casting...
vore: timing and patience to coutner his counter... hard o explain but it work a bit like hand control dec against cibtrol decks... need great calculation for u to wind the counter war in the end... drop vore for kill as usual... a great way is to pack genju so u can hit him without worrying...
weenie rush: out rush him with your low mana cost creatures...
heartbeat: i would go with determine but not sure cause i never use this dec b4...
decks that have black mana : play the card that destroy monster at the end of turn based onthe mana cost which is qual to counter on him... forgot name but its from ravnica block...
