This deck is good, it just seems that if it cant take control early it burns out.

This deck, like so many u-based control decks, puts a lot of onus on the player to play correctly. Little missteps can be fatal. This is why I suck at most variants of U-based control (tog being an exception).

I've been testing it and its been really good. Plus, the Execute is great about 50-65% of the time. It's a nice solution for creatures that Last Gasp can't kill.

I absolutely loathe this deck.

I actually hate it too. I just lent my U/R Tron deck to a friend and he couldn't get it back to me before I left for university. Oh, how I miss it... But cause combo is startting to get big in my area, I have switched to Control Pox to punish them.
