Blue Black based control is definitely my M:tG comfort zone! You get the best of both worlds: accumulating your own stuff while taking your opponents' stuff away! I've run builds of this list a couple of times in Explorer, but tonight, we're going full fledged Pioneer! Disinformation Campaign is a super grindy card that takes our opponents resources away while replacing itself. The fact that it can be bounced back to hand with surveil effects such as Thought Erasure and Sinister Sabotage makes it a great engine for a control deck. We'll advance our plan of disrupting our opponent and trading cards, but with the card draw provided by Disinfo backed up by a good helping of draw spells, we'll be staying even or pulling ahead on cards as we grind our opponents' hands to nothing! With the combination of discard spells, counters and removal, there's no safe place for our opponents! We can take away their stuff in any zone of M:tG (except exile I guess)! It's a fun deck that is challenging to play correctly... which means I'm going to make plenty of mistakes and maybe lose a game or two because of them, but that's OK! Can an off meta control deck built around a 3 mana enchantment that is not Fable of the Mirror Breaker make it in the Nykthos, Rakdos, Cascady climate of Pioneer? We're gonna find out!
