HOU Standard Deck Update: BW Control


As the Standard metagame continues to evolve in dealing with the Red menace, a few previous archetypes also needs to adjust even if the deck popularity is low. One of which is the Black White Control deck which has been in Standard since the time of Collective Company decks. Here is one recent decklist I’ve found from Reddit:
