I think casting castigate on turn 2 is wrong vs most decks. I usually wait until turn 4 as long as it won't effect my curve too much. You have a better chance of hitting an important card if you wait for a few draw steps.
Well with my deck being as aggro as most goblin decks, according to someone I know, I usually drop two creatures on turn 4, opponents deck depending.
I would love it if you ran casticate you know. Would prefer persecution though. Probably too much control for you, right?
Persecution is literally the only control card, other than castigate, 5 cards does not make that big a difference. Which reminds me, you run only 3 pillory and 3 unmake so technically mine is more control. So nyah.

Got a question as to whether a card without shoud or hexproof is good? Answer is, dies to removal.
I'm a fan of Castigate. I tend to run GP as more of a control style, so if I can get it on turn 2, I can typically eliminate an early threat. For the mirror match, it may be your only chance of nailing the pro-black pro-white guy whose name escapes me. It also breaks up I-win combos before they materialize, like nailing a Panoptic Mirror.
It's solid in the mid-game, eliminating bombs before they have the mana to play them, and it's cheap enough that you can drop it and a 3cc in the mid-game, like Unmake or a creature. It's not awesome in the super-late game, as they are probably putting out their bomb as soon as they have the mana, but it's cheap enough that it's worth playing, and might break-up someone's combo.
It's rare that I draw it and think "Damn, I wish that was a Guildmage."

But I run two castigate adn three persecutions too...so nope, mine has more, and more varied, control. And I still call it aggro-control.
I'm both orderly and rational. I value control, information, and order. I love structure and hierarchy, and will actively use whatever power or knowledge I have to maintain it. At best, I am lawful and insightful; at worst, I am bureaucratic and tyrannical.

Decklist please, I want to see a control build.
@karstien, exactly mine just leans more towards aggro than yours, Variance isn't always better you know.

Depends on what is being varied and to what degree. Still, if your build is more aggro than my aggro-control build, surely that makes it aggro...or at least AGGRO-control.

Oh please, for one your deck is mana scrw city, so bad in fact I had to use DP to give you card draw to stop your whining. No synergy in your pile at all. I have a core theme and it loves me. Don't cry because GP likes me better.

GP is a ho. Even your theme is hardly a theme, GP doesn't care. Now my MS on the other hand...THAT is true love.

Seems you can't read my sig... Obviously MS is with me, she's just taking you on a pity prom date, but will be back in caring hands soon. Btw I predict MS will mana screw you multiple games in a row soon enough, such is your luck, and unsyngerstic nature...

Pity date? Wow, the things MS and I did last night...she must REALLY pity me...(wink wink)
And on a further note, i'm starting to actually creep myself out by referring to the decks as she...so no more.
