Anonymous, I have noticed that, when playing U/W, equipments can become a huge problem, so I like to deal with equipments whenever possible. My opponent was having issues, and I felt the pace was slow enough to play draw-go until I could get rid of it. With U/W control, I feel there is no real need to drop threats, unless your opponent gives you a reason to. I like to play the deck in a pretty reactionary fashion.

While I may be okay playing with Combo and Control decks, I don’t laud myself as the best player around, and I typically do better with Aggro. This column is as much to help me become a better player as it is to help you guys become better. I feel that strategies only form well when many minds are involved. RoninX, thanks for your extensive feedback, and I may try your sideboard strategies next week. Extensive preparation for the MOCS had spread my attention a bit thin (having to juggle four decks at one time), but I will be focusing on Zendikar Block Constructed heavily for this final week of Testing: One, Two, Three this month.
