Drop the Elspeths, Chandras, Swerves, or some/all of the Negates, if you insist upon MDing Luminarch Ascension.

If the card is bad against The "Best Deck" in the format then it most certainly does not deserve a Spot in the MD __________________ http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=158474

Because an oppent has to control the source to redirect it to your plaenes walkers

That sample is the only reason this deck is in the Pro Tour Circuit forum. is the deck that made Top 16. No Control has made an impact, anywhere. Different card choices? Sure. Removing an entire color and major theme (i.e. CA/CD)? That's a different deck all together.

This thread should be call Planeswalker Control before there is a...
