Greetings everyone,

So you might have noticed that it has been a while since I posted anything here on hive. And that is because lately I have been so busy with work and other stuff, as well as repairing my laptop because it was broken and not functioning. So it has been almost 2 weeks that I did not play GU in but I always tried to be up to date with how the game is developing.

So watching streamers and also following my friend's weekend events I have been noticing that the game was getting considerably harder lately for some reason as it was not as easy anymore to get a very high number of wins in it. This made me excited to come back but also scared at the same time because I always was your average 12 13/25 wins dude which is like 8 wins in 18 games so I was a bit afraid it would get worst.

And after getting my laptop again, I decided to give a go at a new Control Magic deck again and see how it performs and I was very surprised at my results because getting 11 or 12 wins in the current state of the game is no easy task at all and I was very happy with the result so I wanted to share it with you.

The deck

We can see that this deck is very similar to a lot of basic control magic decks used currently, however there are some new additions and improvements to it that I really think made the difference and took this deck to a whole new level and made it much better and we are going to talk about these changes below.

New addition Cards

​

Now these new addition cards I am going to mention are cards that I usually did not use before in my control magic decks and are cards that I think made the deck much more better for this week and made me get the results I got.

Leyhoard Hatchling

Yes this card was used everywhere in control deck, however I was not a big fan of it until I tried in my deck. The 4 damage is so valuable as well as the ability to have a good amount of cards in your hand which makes this a great option!

Fenetic Bibliomaniac

This card helps so much in cycling through your cards to get your desired ones, and also combos very well with the Leyhoard and with Ekrileth because it helps increase the number of cards you are holding in your hand. Sometimes I able to get a bunch of favor with it as well in some matchups!

Magnetic Blast

Although this card seems very situational, it helped me a lot in many situations. Guild enforcers are pretty common as well as Protective Benediction for light and this card can help with them pretty well and that's why I decided to keep 1 copy of it.

Crystaltech Scholar

I tried last time to switch this card with the Mana Toad because I did not want to buy it, but it is much better and different than the mana toad so I had to buy it eventually and it took my deck to a whole new level so I was happy to spend those couple of gods on it!

Cards to be added if owned

​

Now these 2 cards I am going to mention are a really good addition to the deck in case they were available to you do not hesitate to use them. I did not buy them because they are somewhat expensive for me.

Pallas' Incantation

Now the only deck that can be considered an automatic loss again this control deck is Anubians. This deck has no chance of defeating anubians whatsoever, however, with this card there is a little bit more hope because of the second effect of it. Also Pallas' Incantation is also a good option for clearing and getting rid of annoying frontlines so definitely a good addition.

Moramag, Bane of Black Isle

This card is a good option for finishing off the game. 8 damage for everything your opponent controls and also to the face is very good and can help seal the deal is most cases. Just try not to play it if you have less than 8 cards. Which is a bit easier with the wide card draw options that you have.

Final thoughts

​

My actual results for this week were 11/18 games but it should have been 12 because I got disconnected in one of the game that I was 100% winning but that's how it is sometimes. The deck surprised me a bit with how well it did, and it was also tons of fun because it felt somewhat different to my old classic control magic decks.

This week was also a wide variety of decks, I faced all gods almost equally and most of my defeats were against Heirloom Death which were 100% losses but other than that I did very well against all other gods. I hope this deck stays effective until the next week and I really advise you try it and enjoy it and I hope it will bring you the best results there.

It feels good to be back to the game and I was happy I was able to drop 11 wins this week after coming back. I will try my best to keep updating new effective decks after trying them, and I hope you have been liking them and rocking them and hope they are bringing you victories! Here is the deck code for anyone interested in it: GU_1_4_CEhCEhKAaIBeIBDIBDCANCEkCEkKAgKAgIBnKApKApKAmKAmICHCEvIBsIBsCBmKAqCGFIBSKDqCBjCBjCFlCAlCAl

That was it for this one, I hope everyone had an amazing weekend event and got the results you all wanted. Be sure to drop a follow if you like the decks I posts and leave a comment if you ever tried one of them. Other than that take care and I will see you all on the next one!

Mad Love, Peace out <3
