neither of us invented argenport control nor did i claim it int he video. dunno who tried it first after the changes him or me but honestly what does it matter. props to him trying experimenting with it and succeeding with it. he made a post about hitting rank 1 on here at the 14th (i checked. and he likely played it a while before that) and I streamed it on the 10th (build it the day before) hitting rank 3 or so. but unless he credits me (which he didn't) I would not assume our decks are related. trying control in color combinations that have control tools is not really something that nobody thinks of trying. so plenty of people happen to try similar things at similar times. i am just tired of people crying wolf every time some deck resembles another one as if somehow only one person int he world could come up with idea X and everyone else must have copied them if they do sth similar. especially when you know there are only so many options to consider for a controld eck in those colors so u automatically end up with like 90% the same deck anyway. the differences in these cases are the details. and as you can see from the dates above when i post a deck it likely is alrdy weeks old (in this case 2) because i wont make a deck tech until i have a version that i am happy with and consider fairly final.
thanks. good luck in case you take it for a spin.
if you haven't watched the deck tech yet it will give u soem further insight into the background and make up of the list.
