As long as Aggro is there, Turbofog will be there to kick it in the nadgers and run away laughing like a maniac when Control comes around.
I love this description by the way. Very amusing and accurate.
Attitude reflects leadership.
Vindicated!
* HawkBlade is aggro/control!
* Post-ban HawkBlade!
* Jace, the Mind Sculptor is good!
* End-of-Lorwyn TurboFog!

What's our Sideboard plan against Control, or do we just roll over to it completely? It seems pretty hard to match them when we're completely geared to beat aggro.

I think that tallowisp had a great idea: the transformational sideboard.
When you play against non-aggro, you board into a completely different deck. Take out the fogs, and put in more cheap threats like Figure of Destiny and such, and maybe some Mind Shatter/ Thoughtseize.

But we only have 15 slots in the sideboard, meaning that we can only run (at best) three full slots of creatures and maybe 3 disruption slots, meaning that we don't really have a very high threat density.

You leave your Smog and your Syphon Lifes in there. You would probably leave 4x Batwing Brume in there too, post SB.
And I think the key is to run some more threats MD too. Tallowisp runs stuff like Divinity of Pride in his MD.

Although I agree with Smog and Syphon Life  , I disagree with Batwing Brume  . Control generally wants to land a finisher, not swing in with a crapload of minions (although for decks with Elspeth it may be applicable), so wouldn't the Brume equate to only a little extra damage? Obviously every little bit helps, but it's underwhelming against control. Running Divinity of Pride  maindeck is good. Maybe run Knight-Captain of Eos  and/or Elspeth, Knight Errant  maindeck as well? That way the transformative sideboard might be able to have a soldier theme (side in Cenn's Tactician  , Field Marshal  , etc?). Or we can just side in the most efficient beats possible and smash so face, that works too.

I'm actually working on getting Knight-Captain and Elspeth into the MD as well.

I'll have to post my deck list soon, but I run mono-W fog, and it works out pretty well for me. Purity  is one of the greatest cards in the deck, after a fog, swinging with a 6/6 in the air is pretty deadly.

I posted this in an earlier in an other thread, but have since then found this thread and am reposting here.......I do like the Spiteful Visions  / Runed Halo  Version of this deck, and am currently working on a version of that, but am not giving up on this on either. Yeah, I know, everyone I hear just loves (sarcasm, if you can't read betwen the lines) this deck type, but looking at the Sharuum the Hegemon  with Soul Warden  and Deathgreeter  , along with some Sculpting Steel  s for the infintie life gain seems pretty tough. I haven't had a chance to test it out anywhere and haven't been in the game since Morningtide, so please, help me out with this. It seems strong main deck, but lack of knowledge of the current metagame (post Shards of Alara) has me completely stumped as far as side board. So, without much further ado, my deck list......... Land4 x Reflecting Pool  4 x Arcane Sanctum  3 x Adarkar Wastes  3 x Caves of Koilos  3 x Sunken Ruins  3 x Mystic Gate  3 x Fetid Heath  1 x Underground Sea  Creatures4 x Soul Warden 4 x Deathgreeter 4 x Sharuum the Hegemon Spells4 x Sculpting Steel 4 x Batwing Brume 4 x Holy Day  4 x Angelsong  4 x Pollen Lullaby  4 x Howling Mine  I'm not looking for questions like...."What do you do if I play (random card)?", but rather help with the main deck (keeping it turbosmog with the combo, of course) and help with the sideboard.
