Standard - Vraska Control Arena Budget

Midrange

Hello Guys,

Let me explain what the general Idea is:

 

Win Conditions: 

We disrupt everything the opponent throws at us and then wait for:

Vraska, Golgari Queenimage Ultimate - obviously.

or

Jungle Creeperimage - works surprisingly well especially against U/R control because it always comes back and you do not need to be afraid to cast it. Later on on you can lose it, get it back and cast it again in one turn. Other matchups might have Vraska's Contemptimage removing it. I never had someone remove all 3 though.

 

Spells/Creatures:

Cast DownimageChupacabra, Hieromancer's Cageimage and Cleansing Novaimage, remove everything that can kill us early. Unfortunately we almost never get to use the second effect of Cleansing Novaimage because of the bindings but it is the best board wipe right now.

RevitalizeimageMoment of Cravingimage keep us alive against aggro and allow us to keep 2 Mana hands.

Plaguecrafterimage singergizes well with Jungle Creeperimage and helps us kill Planeswalker and Hexproof creatures.

Ixalan's Bindingimage takes care of any recurring permanents we face. Early game targets like Ajani's Pridemateimage or the U/R Dragons are taken care of for (usually) the rest of the game.

 

Mana:

Manabase works pretty well, I almost never had to Mulligan, it was often possible to keep even two Mana hands since all card costs are fairly low.

Arch of Orazcaimage seems random but there a times when you have to wait and it is a nice way to use unspent mana.

Detection Towerimage will take care of hexproof.

 

In MTG Arena it performed well against most decktypes I encountered although we have very few rares and mythics.

U/B Surveil decks with heavy discard and flash were a problem.
