Banker/Arcanist Control
NOTE: UPDATED BUILD LOWER IN PAGE
Here's my deck, but... it's got a few extraneous cards. Resources Obsession x2 Greed x16 Locations Banker Gold Summit x2 Items Banker Brummagem Jewelry x3 Free Trade Agreement x2 Index of Natural Forces x2 Magic Vault x1 Characters Arcanist Servile Centipede x2 Banker Blanching Butcher x2 Concealed Goon x2 Erotic Assassin x4 Ghostly Auditor x2 Mau Tough x1 Pettifogger x2 Repo Man x1 Skilled Negotiator x4 Tax Attorney x2 Tactics Arcanist 12 Man Brunch of Doom x3 Forget x2 Remember x2 Quotidian Assassination x4 Banker Cash Out x1 Downsizing x2 Irresistible Bribe x4 Limited Liability x4 Postmortem Debenture x2 Selective Gluttony x1 I'm going to run more Servile Centipedes, but should I run more Selective Gluttonys, Cash Outs, or both? Finally, Should I try for some Samual Gristwallers?

Try to get more arcanist in there, because right now it looks like the deck would be better without it.

If you really want to run a control deck, you probably want at least a few Lugubrious Finger Traps and Quotidian Ejectors. If anything, drop the Quotidian Assassinations in favor of the Ejectors. Ejectors give you a 1/1/3 and can bounce any non-resource card for not much more cost than the Assassination. Also, I would tone down the Limited Liability in favor of stuff that gives you more permanent lockdown, since Liability is a stalling tactic at best. Maybe try Arcanist Almanac or, yeah, Samuel Gristwalter. And seriously, how can you run Gold Summits (which seem a little out of place in this deck, frankly) without Beatrix Winterbottom? If nothing else, Beatrix is a great "control" card because (in my experience) your opponent will get distracted and do everything they can to kill her, which means they're not focusing on your other characters. And if they don't, then hell, load up your hand and go to town.

Changed the deck
Okay, It's a little more focused now. I got some new cards, too.
Resources Obsession x2 Greed x15 Items Arcanist Ambiguity Inhibitor x2 Lugubrious Finger Trap x4 Banker Brummagem Jewelry x4 Magic Vault x2 Characters Arcanist Servile Centipede x4 Quotidian Ejector x2 Banker Beatrix Winterbottom x2 Concealed Goon x2 Erotic Assassin x4 Pettifogger x2 Skilled Negotiator x4 Samual Gristwalter x2 Tax Attorney x2 Tactics Arcanist 12 Man Brunch of Doom x4 Forget x2 Remember x2 Banker Cash Out x2 Irresistible Bribe x4 Limited Liability x4 Postmortem Debenture x4 The deck works quite nicely, but I know of 4 cards I need to add. Problem is, I'm really bad at deciding what to take out. What should I take out for 2 more Ejectors and Forgets? Thank you for your time! Edit: Small update and thank you!

4 ofs are definitely a must if you can get the cards.
Repo man may not be worth it depending on your metagame; the only locations I've seen played at all are The Ministry of Other Smaller Ministries, Dragon's Quarters, and Gold Summit. playing a 5-cost 3/3/3 is bad if you can't destroy a location. Cash Out is superior at triple greed threshold. Selective Gluttony looks great on paper but does little realistically other than sift through a bunch of cards and leaves you open to Catastrophic Betrayal.

Quote:
or you could say I have 5 cards in hand gold summit is out so I gain 10 life and keep 6 of 15 cards and that means I will have 6 answers in my hand to whats in front of me. Should I or he play 4? Not at all. should you play 1 or 2? Sure! 1) Winterbottoms are only good if you have great board controll. If the situation is dicy they are just a waste. They only draw you one card any time you would draw. Not 1 card per card drawn. 2) Well its really up to you if you want to keep repo man. I am of the philosphy to play with the magic sideboard equivelent in my deck. If I dont need the card it goes facedown. I say its not the only answer you could play as forget is an excellent card especially for control decks like this and it can take out locations. 3) just so you know with postmortem debarture, remember, shocking reapperance, necromancer tech at your disposal selective gluttony look a lot better especially since no one is playing adroit maurader really. No real need to worry about cat betrayel in this deck as you dont have huge phatties to be scared of and with arcanist you are playing bounce you could just bounce it to your hand and say thank you. I like the deck has potential in its current state it has no real goal except to get concealed goon out and bring the pain through that which isnt bad at all i just would be cautous in a tournament since you wont really have a creature advantage that often so you might run into draws.

Update
Did some playtesting. I know I need to add some cards, but I don't know what to take out! (See the decklist above)
