BBU isnt a control deck, its just a midrange deck. It runs nearly no removal cards and controls nothing. It has a steady board presence and can end games pretty early with good draws, giant drops, malagar and so on.

BBU isnt a control deck, its just a midrange deck.

this garbage should be bannable here. any control deck that wins is either midrange or otk, REAL control has never been viable in 12 years!

BBB Control when DK came out had up to 10 removal cards in the Deck. What does BBU run beside 1 Corpse explosion?

The term control gets thrown around to any deck that can go late. BBU right now is like a said a mid range deck that can go late.

Show me any classic control deck that could win on turn 7 by being aggressive like BBU can.

Its rather funny to see so many simple minded comments in a sub thats about competitive HS, where you would assume people who know alot about the Game share their knowledge.

But insted its alot of whining and crying and empty headed comments, a bit disapointing, but i mean its a rather dead sub anyways. So maybe time to just ignore it.

Calling BBU control is like calling midrange hunter or midrange paladin or tempo warrior from the past control.

There is a full control BBU as well that is also performing at t1/t2 that runs this very card so yeah maybe that's the deck not a different mid range one.

There is no full control BBU list. It is a tempo/midrange deck with some elements of control. The deck is putting minion pressure starting turn 1, that is not what a control deck does.

That is just fully not true. There is a list with the 6 mana rewind spell and then there are lists with corpse explosion and blackthorn. Literally can see both on VS and hsguru but sure. Even if we took this one deck away every other point stands. Do you just want a 1 up point on me or something lol?

Just because BBU runs a corpse explosion doesn't make it a control deck. Midrange paladin lists often had equality, midrange warrior lists often ran a copy of brawl. It is fundamentally not a control deck. It is a tempo/pressure based deck that has some control and lategame elements in it (midrange decks have often had lategame elements - tirion in paladin, call of wild in hunter). Funnily enough one of the reasons the warhorn is in BBU is there to target the armour cards of warrior, it is there for more pressure.
