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:
