Cruel Control
Cruel Control
It seems these days people want to see ways to hate on Jund. A lot of people are also running control decks, well here is a combo of both this deck hates on Jund and it’s a great control deck. There are a ton of good choices in this deck and I would definitely give this deck a try if you like the control game. Now there are several variants of this deck so feel free to experiment with some different choice and find what works for you. With that said here is the break down.
The Deck List
Here is the breakdown and reasons why to play the deck :
Lots of Removal
The best way to mess with the opponent
Lighting Bolt – everyone knows the card and 3 damage for 1 mana equals a huge pay out
Terminate – For two mana kill anything does it get any better than that
Cruel Ultimatum – The bomb of the deck this card is huge and cost seven but its definitely worth it.
Counters
To you I say “NO!”
Negate – this card is a great counter it gets rid of any non-creature for 2 mana.
Double Negative – this card is amazing for3 you can get rid of those pesky cascades.
Card Draw
just a little speed
Jace Beleren – This planeswalker is a great card draw engine and for only 3 mana can you pass it up.
Divination – Just some more card draw.
Into the Roil – a card that can bounce something and give you card draw now that’s nice.
Late Game
The fun part
Nicol Bolas – This planeswalker is just tons fun to play with.
Sphinx of Jwar Isle – The one creature in the deck, it wins games.

this is a great cruel control deck, but I manage to add 2 Essence Scatter to counter creature spell instead of 4 negate. And of course, the lands can be cut of by 1 to include some nasty creatures like Bogardan Hellkite. Nice work man.

Into The Roll don’t give me more help, I add Earthquake to clean up the board position. The Sphinx is flying so it’s unaffected by damages caused by Earthquake, and it can be used to kill away the other opponent’s planeswalker trough. And what he’s said is true that Bogardan Hellkite is the best you can have in this deck to suprise opponent at end of his or her turn.
