this is a really dumb idea but I thought I'd post it anyway. I thought that maybe you could combine the squadron hawks with a mass polymorph. You play one squadron hawk and you get the rest in you hand (or on the field) and then you cast the polymorph and get 4 creatures of you choice onto the field. Not a bad deal. I know it's not really a standard competitive deck, but I figured I'd throw it out there.

In reply to Jim Storrie. Elixir Trinket Mage is something I've been a fan of in UB Control for a long time, though I wonder if it would just end up being superfluous here. It sure as hell seems worth testing with though! I'm not sure what I would cut to fit in in, and I think you'd want at least 2 Mages and 1 Elixir? Perhaps just 1 & 1. Edit: Hmm. The comment system made it appear as if that previous one didn't go through! :/

Hawks with Elixir is one of the more annoying things to play against in Standard. Playing 3 Hawks as attackers/chumpers, then recycling them with Elixir is such a backbreaker against Control decks.

In reply to Jim Storrie. I could be mistaken, but I recall mention somewhere on The Internet (Twitter perhaps?) about some of these Squadron Hawk UW Control decks using Trinket Mage, and I think it's a fantastic direction to take the deck if/when the Spell Pierce plan gets weaker or less removal is necessary.

One thing I'm surprised to not see, in a control deck sporting Hawk, is a Trinket Mage package. Hawk only draws you three cards once – unless you shuffle all of your dead Hawks back in with an Elixir of Immortality…

Or do Wraths plus a heavy suite of counters mean the deck doesn't need to bother with Elixir tricks in order to succeed against RDW/Elves/Vamps?

In reply to Corbin Hosler. Sounds awesome, Corbin. This Extended format has so far been extremely unpopular, and I think that once people see how incredibly cool the format is, there's going to be a pretty big spike in demand for the format's staples.

Agreed, I love this coverage. Incidentally, I was planning on being on top of the Extended portion of the tournament and doing the same thing, finance-side. Should be plenty of content for readers!

‘Off-hours’ articles are awesome. It means that someone like me (living down in the antipodes) can wake up to read something new!
Very interesting take on U/W control.

Thank you for all of the kind words 🙂 I'll definitely be looking out for brand new Extended tech as the coverage breaks! Keep an eye on QS alongside Wizards.com for the rest of the tournament.

The timeliness of this article is the kind of stuff that makes this site great. This is exactly what makes premium worthwhile.

Big hit. Here I was reading my Twitter feed, hearing about the deck and wondering what was in it, with a promised article by Kibler tomorrow on SCG. Now I'm not saying it won't be a good read, but it was grand to see the list and some analysis here -today- on QS. Off-hours articles are definitely welcome!

Wow, Squadron Hawks…I definitely have to try them in my UW!

Turn 1 Preordain seems like a really huge tell that you kept a bad hand. I'll never cast it first turn unless, like you said, I need to hit a land drop.

I love Spell Pierce, and I'd definitely consider going from 3 to 4 in my build. The SB Spreading Seas also looks devastating against Valakut.

I really like this breakdown, and I'd like to see more in the future.
