So, the UW Control list has continued to evolve. These days, it looks like this:

Lands:

4x [c]Glacial Fortress[/c]
4x [c]Sejiri Refuge[/c] (to be replaced with 4x [c]Seachrome Coast[/c] once I have $30 to shell out for a playset)
8x [c]Island[/c]
9x [c]Plains[/c]

Creatures:

3x [c=Aven Fleetwing]Hexbird[/c]
2x [c=Frost Titan]Frosty[/c]
1x [c=Sphinx of Uthuun]Sphinx[/c] (I'd be totally fine chuckin' this out in favor of another [c=Frost Titan]Frosty[/c].)

Instants/Sorceries/Enchantments:

2x [c]Negate[/c]
3x [c]Psychic Barrier[/c]
4x [c]Mana Leak[/c]
4x [c]Cancel[/c]

I may add more hard, cancel-esque counters like [c]Stoic Rebuttal[/c] and [c]Dissipate[/c].

4x [c]Ponder[/c]
4x [c]Timely Reinforcements[/c]
4x [c=Day of Judgment]It all dies[/c]
4x [c=Oblivion Ring]O-ring[/c]

Sideboard:

2x [c]Act

I also noticed a surprising (to me) amount of traffic on my initial "for the sake of fun/boredom" blog post, so here we go again.

So, my last entry displayed a relatively untested standard format UW control deck that hadn't really faced a wide variety of matchups. I'd only been thinking about said matchups in the abstract. As it turns out, I am still only thinking about most of them in the abstract. One of these days I will get out to an FNM and see what the players are like around here.

Speaking of "around here," a friend picked up mtg again just recently (I guess my talk of modern, innistrad, and just
