Haven't been playing Vintage for more than a few months. Tried some different decks and I find myself really enjoying this mono-blue control contraption. I used to play Legacy and me and my buddy always wanted to play Back to Basics and Propaganda, but it never worked in Legacy. I got in to Vintage and it doesn't seem too terrible.
I haven't had too excessive of an issue beating Dredge, Storm, Oath, or Pyro/Mentor decks. I usually have game against goofy brews. The main issue is my Shops match needs to get better.
As it stands, I need a pretty stellar opener to beat them.
Here is the deck list (not sure how to make it so the pictures come up, probably something to do with [ and ] but I'm not 100% certain)
Main Deck
10 Island
4 Polluted Delta
1 Library of Alexandria
1 Strip Mine
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Emerald
1 Sol Ring
1 The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
2 Propaganda
1 Null Rod
2 Back to Basics
4 Force of Will
3 Mental Misstep
2 Flusterstorm
2 Mana Drain
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Brainstorm
1Ponder
1 Preordain
1 Time Walk
1 Treasure Cruise
1 Dig Through Time
1 Gush
3 Mystic Remora
4 Repeal
1 Magus of the Future (trying this in place of Gush #2)
2 Vendilion Clique
2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Sideboard
4 Grafdigger's Cage
2 Ravenous Trap
2 Echoing Truth
2 Engineered Explosives
2 Steel Sabotage
2 Hurkyl's Recall

I am not opposed to adding a small splash if it will improve my Workshops matchup
I wasn't sure if maybe the veterans of the format would know of some secret tech to assist a newbie with the mud monster.
Thanks in advance!
