Weekend Rank Event With Ramp Control Magic (Ethereal Diamond)

Add a subheading (3).png

Total Wins

Only got 9 wins so a sub 50% win rate overall, sucks to get it but hey better luck/deckbuilding next time.

Version 1

Build I used at the start where my thought process was since I had a lot of cards in my hand keyboard hatchling would be a good addition for threat removal and an additional body on board.

Version 2

Traded out both of my Leyhoard's for more draw in another Safeguard Incantation and another Cram while also tried taking out 1 Sip of Elixer for more potential ramp in Crystal Watcher.

Bought more board clear in the way of Unannounced Arrival and putting them both in for my Thebian Brawler's as I was facing a lot of aggro decks and was killed early enough before I get to my big guys.

Conclusions

At the end I was sent all the way back to Solar Gold so need to grind back to mythic before next week.

When I go against ultra-control decks such as Death with Hippacria's Monster ill just be dead in the long term since I can't out a 30+/30+ monster unless I have ratified (thought metamorphosis changes the card but it would still be sent to the grave).

When I face aggro I really have to mulligan into board clears and not be greedy in keeping ramp cards in hand, got hit in the face a lot before I got my guys on the board

Combo decks usually just kill me outright since I am not pressuring them hard enough but I guess that's the drawback in running a control deck.

Would love to hear opinions on how to make the deck better, what to cut, what to put in.

You can look up what the top control magic decks are running on gudecks, there's probably some good cheap cards you aren't running like another copy of Lightning Talisman. Crystal Watcher isn't worth running, too slow and dies to removal.
