In the various three or more coloured versions of UG control decks I would always chose to play a Negate over an Actual Counterspell, those kinds of deck have an unrivalled ability to deal with permanents while coloured mana is more of an issue
#27 Riptide (The Dark) Why is it bad
Depending on the version you get, you could be sitting on $374, or a whopping $571, with the Symbiote Suit version taking top prize
Monument to Endurance Monument to Endurance is one of the strongest discard payoffs, in part because it chews through opposing life totals
Moria, meanwhile, allows players to build their side of the board without overconsuming resources
Thats not the worst deck to play, but it feels like we all drafted a deck like this once we realized that ramp was a thing in EDH and struggled with pulling out a few overcosted but juicy spells for boring mana rocks, which really feels bad when you first start to do it
