    I have double negs I can put in and I'm looking for a planeswalker, hoping to get one by the end of the month. I only put worldly in there because I saw it as an instance card draw, I didn't really see what else I could put in there inplace of it. I know I would like another terminate to have 4 and I never thought about running 4 spreading seas main. I suppose I could try that out. Counsel was just there as a filler mainly. If I could pull a Jace 2.0 I'd throw out the ponders, I only run them because I am semi limited in a way. When my friend comes down I will make sure to add more removal and take out the counsels. Thanks guys

    Forgot to mention this earlier but as far as board sweepers, I don't really feel too comfortable with Chain reaction or Earthquake. For some reason it just doesn't stick with me. I could always try it out and see how it works.

    oh I know that's why I'm going to swap out the counsels for perhaps some smothers.

    As of now this is what my deck consists of and looks like:



    Now certain cards I run because I'm still waiting on my friend to bring me the ones I need down. My mana will have all the Drowned Catacombs and Dragonskull Summits in it and less basic lands.

    I run Worldly Counsel because I normally have all 3 of my basic lands out when I cast it and it gets me that much closer to a cruel. I normally run into 2 lands with a counter or a kill spell in there so I snag the spell and throw the mana on bottom because I have all the mana I need in my hand or on the field.

    Ponder I run because I get to look at my top 3, if I don't like what I see I get a shuffle and draw a card which again gets me closer to a Cruel.

    Cancels I use all around, use them for any purpose like I have no more scatters or negates.

    All in all I have to say that this format works fairly well with me. I do well against Jund and Vamps.
    Feedback is appreciated =]

    I run 26, and in pages back it suggests running no less than 25.
    +I'd rather drop the ghouls for a 3/2 unblockable that's a land also.

    I'd say drop the Ghouls and add in 3 more mana. Perhaps 2 creeping tar pit and 1 lavaclaw reaches.

    @ Kaizer Xi;
    I used to run Dragonmaster Outcast as a singleton and I have to say that it worked out for me quite well at times. I don't run earthquake so I wasn't worried about that. There were times I kept him on the field for quite some time and had a nice little gathering of dragons (about 3) with a sphinx and did work with that combined with a cruel.

    Other times he was just a waste and did not a single thing. All in all I'd have to say that 4 is too many and that your deck looks nothing like a control deck I've seen or have been witnessing.

    So I don't know what peoples oppinion are on ponder and wordly counsel but I have to say that in my deck they seem to do fairly well. If I don't get a cruel with ponder I get to shuffle and draw a card and worldly counsel isn't all that bad to me. I find it a quick draw and knocks some cards out the way which enables you to get closer to a cruel. Or am I missing something here..?

    Yeah I'm hoping to get a 2nd overrun because the likely hood of drawing one with only one in my deck is quite slim lol. If I manage to get beastmaster ascension I will definetly swap out the glories for that because it does seem to be a bigger boom along with sigil captain giving them two +1/+1.
    I really appreciate the feedback.

    and I finally understand now how sprout swarm would be good considering mycoloth is going to be generating tokens that will basically pay it's cost.

    Seems to make sense. I will be able to swap those cards out once my friend gets down from college and we do some trading. but if I drop the mountain that means I drop glory of warfare which I suppose isn't bad but that means I need more cards to cope. Hopefully I find some good'ns when he comes down =D

    ------------------------------
    Any comments and feed back is appreciated. I would like to know what I should swap out to put something better in. My plan is to develop as many tokens as quickly as possible and buff them up a bit with sigil then when I figure I have enough pull out overrun and just go to town on them.
