Information

I feel like all I'm seeing on ladder this month is temporal control, JPS control, and Icaria blue. Usually I'm more of an aggro/midrange player, but I was inspired to make this deck because all I want to do is play Champion of Cunning, and give control players a headache. And it's been working pretty well.

Currently playing this deck in D1 (so far it has gotten me from D3-D1). I have very positive matchups with all the decks I listed above. Champion of Cunning, Jennev Merchant, Jotun Feast-Caller and Thunderstrike Dragon (backed up by Sabotage and Dark Return) have all been amazing. I am however struggling a bit with the time decks, so I'm looking for a bit if advice and to make some adjustments.

First of all, devastating setback has got to go. At best, it's been decent, which is not really where you want to be. I can prooobably go down to 3 dragons, but it's really good. I'm wondering if I should maybe forget hailstorm all together, keep 1 in the market, and just have more spot removal.

Deathstrike has been awesome, Annihilate as well (being able to respond to stand together is real important, and taking out scorpion wasps has also won a lot of games). Permafrost is like, sometimes amaaaazing, and sometimes awful when opponent silences it or fetches an hourglass from the market, but I really don't think it can be cut. I'm really not sure. When it's good it's fantastic and when it's bad it's like, why am I playing this awful card.

Anyways, any advice is appreciated, and any questions will be answered.

Cheers!

I love feln control, If time is a problem for you I would consider the shadow merchant that other feln lists run. They are more inclined to deal with that and your champion and feast called have aegis to annoy your opponent. But that deadly is great you may take some overwhelm damage but Meh. Would move an annihilate to the market and a burglarize and azindels gift one banner and whatever you feel for the last slot, maybe harbinger or last word or withering witch if you want to be obnoxious.
I also would cut another feast caller to balance threats with a second harbinger, because losing to beeps and bonks sucks. Permafrost is always a great card, its removal often enough to always play. I am not sure about 4 sabotage main but I definately like rain of frogs somewhere in there

I'm a huge feln control fan and had a question. With Harbinger and Champion in the market, how useful is the dragon? Maybe running a kill spell could up your spell density.

Ya I did find it to be a bit too many creatures in the market. I do really like having access to the Dragon in the market, so I want to keep him there, he's great in a lot of matchups. I did however decide to cut one from the main, because I was drawing too many expensive threats. (Also cut a feast caller to make room for the Champion coming back in out of the market)
