venser control

[JediChile]

Just trying to play Venser control, needs some sideboard, wich will be finished when I see whats getting more play post-avacyn.

U/W Venser:

25 Lands:
4 Glacial Fortress
4 Seachrome Coast
6 Plains
7 Islands
2 Evolving Wilds
2 Ghost Quarter

6 Creatures:
3 Snapcaster Mage
3 Stonehorn Dignitary

11 Isntants:
4 Mana Leak
4 Think Twice
2 Dissipate
1 Blue Sun's Zenith

8 Sorcerys:
3 Ponder
3 Day of Judgment
2 Terminus

7 Planeswalkers:
2 Venser, the Sojourner
2 Tamiyo, the Moon Sage
2 Gideon Jura
1 Karn Liberated

3 Artifacts:
2 Pristine Talisman
1 Contagion Engine

Right now Im toying with some ideas. post-Avacyn, Aggro decks got A LOT bigger, Zombies, Humans, U/R Aggro, Mono Red, even mono green, and Caverns of souls is the main card, so, Im putting my Mana Leak and Dissipate on the side until the meta is more balanced

Bant Venser:

22 Lands:
4 Hinterland Harbor
3 Glacial Fortress
3 Seachrome Coast
3 Sunpetal Grove
1 Plains
4 Forest
4 Islands

13 Creatures:
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Acidic Slime
3 Stonehorn Dignitary
2 Restoration Angel
2 Snapcaster Mage

4 Instants:
4 Think Twice

8 Sorcerys:
3 Rampant Growth
3 Ponder
3 Timely Reinforcement
3 Day of Judgment

9 Planeswalkers:
2 Venser, the Sojourner
2 Tamiyo, the Moon Sage
2 Garruk Relentless
2 Gideon Jura
1 Karn Liberated

The only problem here, Is that I dont have any Razorverge Thicket and Im out of Magic cash.

Hey, I'm pretty experienced with Venser/Superfriends decks and I would make the following changes:

-3 Temporal Mastery - While good on paper, unless you are playing TurboWalkers (Rites of Flourishing + Venser/Stonehorn), I don't see it as good.
-3 Ponder - I don't like Ponder except in Aggro or Tempo decks.
+2 Pristine Talisman - if you are going to run Karn MD, you want to up the mana ramp as stable as possible.
+2 Day of Judgment - this needs to be a 4 of.
+2 Batterskull - This is a great Venser target and makes your Dignitary a true beater too.

Hope those suggestions help.

Yes, Temporal Mastery dissapointed me today a lot. And after some testing, guess Im running bant for that mana ramp. Let me know wich deck yo like better.

i actually was playtesting with vessel of endless rest and i actually like it better than Pristine Talisman.

but then thats just probably me being silly

I think that card is underated rigth now (like Pristine Talisman at its time), But right know, the extra life is more important with so many aggros in the area.
