Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 The in-format strengths for Blue control
became more focused with Accelerated Blue, or PatrickJ.dec.
If not for innovators like me, people would still be
playing their Morphlings on turn six.
#NAME?
This version of Blue Control differed from everything
since Mana Vault had been legal in Standard for turn 2 Air Elementals...
The goal here was to utilize Grim Monolith to exploits Blue's
then-greatest strengths. Its best cards in-Block (excepting Windfall etc.)
were not finesse counters but its raw muscle, namely Morphling, Treachery,
and the bulk card drawing spells, which could themselves serve as
finishers. Rather than worrying about holding back early game for
Counterspell as Blue players may have historically done, PatrickJ.dec
aficionados set up Grim Monolith early game in order to make their best
cards faster and stronger. Racing with the third turn Morphling was a
common game plan for this deck. |
