Information

This is one the two decks I used to rank up this season, but this one has more play to it.

The idea is to play a couple of threats early and then just counter board wipes and kill spells until you arrive at lethal. True tempo.

Pros: Good against pure control and spell based midrange control decks while being fine against aggressive strats.

Cons: Specifically bad against the Combrei Relics, and explicitly the new hotness's fault. That new 3/5 is gonna get nerfed. Also Mono Time is rough. Nothing to counter, just dudes. Can struggle with creatures that have activated abilities that work under Permafrost.

Since you're running Grand Suppressor, why don't you try running something spicy like Belax, the Ravenous, Snapping Hydrangea, or Guardian of Spring? all of these are cheap af for the stats and ridiculous with Grand Suppressor on board, they also trigger Dawnwalker and I found a sick interaction where if you have two Dawnwalkers in the void, you can play Belax, the Ravenous without the suppressor and the two Dawnwalkers come back from the void in time for you to sacrifice them to Belax.
I also highly recommend Daring Gryffyn for this style of deck. Cykalis, the Burning Sand is my last suggestion as a Dawnwalker trigger.
I like the list you made, let me know if you try and of the suggestions and I would love to hear your feedback regardless of if you try any of this or not.

I unfortunately dropped the list as of the moment. It can't really handle Blackbook, and it's primary advantage over just going TimePrimal was access to Torch and Display for burn. I will come back to it at some point.

This deck's primary gimmick was making defensive Market Access for the opponent costly. Grand Suppressor, Teacher of Humility, and the counterspell suite were all intentionally set up specifically for that punish timing. Either they can't get into their market at a good rate, or they get into it and telegraph when you should hold up counterspells. I don't think Grand Suppressor needs more gimmick and potentially do nothing cards when the dude is strictly solid anyway.

If I ran Belax it'd be in the board to pull with Blazing Salvo. That way I can't draw a dread Belax.

I managed to get 8 wins in the Unleashed Event with your Deck. Had a ton of fun playing with it. Thx for sharing.

Nice!
How was Xenan Obelisk for you? I found I'm not pulling it all that often, but am not sure what I want it to be.

Edit: Torn, because it makes late game Sand Warriors relevant.

All games were pretty fast, I didn't play it at all. But I like Obelisk. Maybe you could exchange it by Phase Out or even Cykalis? Worked very well in a Gauntlet Grinder Watermelon once posted.

What did you lose to? How did the losses go?
