This time, Corey takes Francesco Neo Amati’s Bant Control deck, “UWish” for a test drive through some Modern Two-Man Queues. The deck, which was inspired by, and evolved from, Benny Hill’s UW Control deck (click for article), includes Glittering Wish and a diverse menu of multi-colored cards in the “Wishboard” to address UW’s deficiencies in its most difficult match-ups.
The three primary three Wishboard targets-Geist of Saint Traft, Supreme Verdict, Meddling Mage.
Francesco, who designed this particular version of the deck, has written a number of informative pieces on the development and strategy behind UWish. For those resources, use the following links:
