Standard Deck Feature: Yasooka’s UB Control

Theros Blue Black Control by Shouta Yasooka
The concluded Pro Tour Theros has featured the power of the pro players in innovating deck archetypes for Standard. One of them which I know as a crowd favorite is Japan’s Shouta Yasooka. He always comes up with strange but effective approach in creating a deck. His pilot deck on that Pro Tour was a rendition of Blue Black Control, featuring Master of Waves.

Here is the decklist:
