Uw Tide Control
UW Control
Overview
"Uw Tide Control is a blue-white control deck that answers everything with cheap interaction and grinds out card advantage before winning slowly. Swords to Plowshares, Wrath of God, and Powder Keg handle creatures, while Counterspell and Mana Leak protect the plan and Fact or Fiction, Impulse, and Standstill bury the opponent in cards. Parallax Tide provides a mana-denial lock and Decree of Justice offers an uncounterable finisher, with Humility softening aggressive boards. Note: Parallax Tide was banned in standard Premodern on 2026-01-18, so this lock is legal only in Premodern Unchained."
Game Plan
Trade efficiently with removal and counters, pull ahead on cards with Fact or Fiction and Standstill, then lock the opponent out with Parallax Tide or close with Decree of Justice tokens. Note: Parallax Tide was banned in standard Premodern on 2026-01-18, so this lock is legal only in Premodern Unchained.
