MTG Salvation

I have a decent collection of cards and was wondering if someone could point me toward some deck templates that would allow me to take maximum advantage of my opponents(similar to control) and at the same time be able to pull out big creatures when it counts

Sounds like you want to build a simic deck (blue and green) of sorts. Control and ramp with blue in the early game, and then yous lap down some huge creature to win. Or alternatively you could go with a focus on +1/+1 counters to steadily build up a massive board-state. I suggest you google around a bit to see what the various simic playstyles are.

Sounds like UBx reanimator to me. Take advantage by reanimating your opponents creatures that you countered/made them discard. Or bust out your own fatties like Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur or Consecrated Sphinx.

Thank you

I have also been dabbling in creature less control decks, I was wondering if this would hold up well in casual or a tournament.

You can play anything you want in casual. Whether it holds up is a matter of whom you play with and they types of decks they bring.

Tournaments, on the other hand, require you to build your deck according to a given format, usually standard, consisting of the most recent applicable sets, modern, which only includes cards released in standard legal sets printed since July 2003, as well as Modern Horizons, and Legacy, which includes every set minus a banlist and silver-bordered joke cards.

For the deck you posted, only Absorb, Emergency Powers, Mass Manipulation, Blink of an Eye, Primal Amulet (of which its other side, only usable through the 4 mana artifact, you posted amongst your lands), and Revitalize are currently legal in standard, the latter three of which are going to leave the format via rotation in a little more than a month.

As for modern, Propaganda and Counterspell have never been reprinted into a modern-legal set, but everything else is legal in that format.

Your whole deck is legal in legacy, but that's a high-powered format ruled by extremely fast win conditions held in check by extremely powerful free answers. Your deck would not hold up well in legacy, or modern, too, even if you replaced the two illegal cards.

Thanks

I quite like Orzhov control for that playstyle. Lots of removal and discard . White also tends to have a wrath of some sort available. Once the opponent is weakend you can bring out big fliers like angels or demons.
