Top 10 List of Control Cards-Sky

Hello,

This my first time contributing to pojo.com.  This Top 10 is about 
"Control" cards so first I will define what I mean by "Control".  
Control in a CCG, in my mind, is the ability to take away options and 
give yourself time to lay something great on the table.  The most 
effective "Control" in this game is creature removal (since you can't 
effectively kill mana or discard their hand, yet).  So here is my top 
10 control.

10. Miele, Vizier of Lightning- I know what you're saying, "How is this 
little 1000 creature control."  Well its because of its ability.  For 3 
mana you get a creature and the ability to tap a creature and since in 
this CCG the most basic way to eliminate creatures is battle, you can 
only battle (for the most part) tapped creatures.

9. Gatling Skyterror- I'm big on creatures with cool abilities.  With 
this guy and maybe even Toel, Vizier of Hope you can clear the board of 
your opponents untapped creatures turn after turn and still have have 
the Skyterror survive because he untaps at the end of your turn.

8. Vampire Silphy-  Destroys those annoying weenie creatures and can 
clear the board against fast aggressive decks.

7. Saucer-Head Shark- Returns those annoying weenies back to hands.

6. Teleportation-  Can return up to 2 hateful creatures back to hands.

5. Death Smoke- It maybe conditional but its cheaper then most.

4. Solar Ray- Cheap with Shield Trigger can help eliminate a creature 
in battle.

3. Terror Pit- It may cost a bit but Shield Trigger makes it well worth 
it and its unconditional destruction.

2. Holy Awe- Depending on how you build up your own creatures you can 
eliminate a lot of their creatures in battle and the Shield Trigger can 
be a life saver.

1. Spiral Gate- Its very cheap for 2 mana and with Shield Trigger to it 
is awesome.  It is Duel Masters equivalent to Boomerang in M:TG.  Four 
of these in your deck with Teleportation and other control you can 
start controlling on turn 2 and make sure they can't put down a real 
threat until you yourself put down a biggie that can cause them pain.

I hope you find this list informative and I welcome any comments.  I am 
not afraid being proved wrong so if you disagree I would like to hear 
about it but please be respectful.  Well thats it, my next contribution 
will be evaluating the two promo evolution cards and possible uses.

Thanks,
Sky
