Heading to the store in an hour if anyone is interested in some playtesting or board games.

I must have a gluttony for punishment as today I continue my marathon of disappointment. Yes, I'll be heading to the game store today to see if anyone wants to playtest. If anyone is interested I'll arrive between noon and 2pm.

Truth be told I've actually had a great time the last two days watching Warhammer and the 3d D&D games. New hobby perhaps? :D

I would actually like to go to Kansas City. Anyone have a good standard deck I can use? And MAYBE a legacy deck?
As a Ninja, the smallest container I can fit into would be maybe a tic tac container.

Multiple variations that aren't thrown together by a monkey.

As Tony said, there are multiple versions. If I wasn't playing Eldrazi Ramp, I would be playing UW.

What would you guys honestly suggest? I can pilot a deck pretty well without months of playtesting, I just need to know what you (Frank, Paul, Russ, Dave and others) think is a deck that's not only pretty good, but my style. I can have anything built tomorrow if I get the rigth suggestions. :) Right now, it's in the works to have RUG control, but I don't know if it's my style.

Not sure. I feel the meta will pretty much be UB, UW, Vamps and Valakut for the most part, and I like my match ups in 3 of those match ups with Eldrazi Ramp from testing, and think I have tech for the 4th.

Honestly, I would encourage you to play UW over RUG.

neat. Would it be too much trouble to send me a list over IM or something or a link to a good one? That way I can get it built tonight or tomorrow? :) I think you're right, I like UW

http://www.deckcheck.de/list.php?type=U/W Control&format=1

Here are a list of UW Control decks that have done well and posted results in the past 2 months.

I would definately encourage you to use hard counters in the deck.

This. This. This.

RUG is infamous for having a lot of the best cards in standard but in my playtesting and from what I've heard from others RUG just bites the bullet to pretty much any aggro deck. Way overhyped imo.

UW variants eat aggro for breakfast (going 3-13 vs various UW builds maindeck this week have taught me that). You really need to over compensate for the ramp match ups though. Leyline is great tool vs pretty much anything and everything except Boros and Eldrazi. Vampires, RDW variants, Memorcide, Duress, Valakut, all get hosed by it.
