Everyday I'm Foggin'...

Here's my final Turbo Fog list. It's extremely fun. I've had a few friends test it out, and they all have good things to say about it. I guess we'll see how SCGLA treats me. The reason I chose to play this deck this weekend, is it's matchups against the aggro decks of the format are as good or better than what the control decks have. The control decks on the other hand, vary widely by build. U/W control is a pretty decent matchup, as none of their win conditions but White Sun Zenith can win the game all at once, and Elspeth is really the only other threat in the deck that you care about. While U/B is tough. Shutting down some of their win conditions with Witchbane Orb mainboard helps, but the quantity of countermagic hurts quite a bit Game 1. It's not unwinnable if you're on the play, and it gets much better post board when you can bring in Autumn's Veil and cut some dead cards. In reality, any non-blue deck simply can't do anything against you. Which is nice. The best part of the deck is the ability to troll people constantly. I love the *eyeroll* i get when i cast my first fog while they attack for lethal. Again, a big edge with this deck is most people won't know what they're playing against until you have a Jace in play and cast your first Fog. By then, its too late. If anyone is foolish enough to play Wolf Run, this weekend, i hope i play them. I love responding to the wolf run activation with Fog.
