UGW threshold is an aggro-control deck archetype developed early in the Legacy format. It exploits the threshold mechanic from Odyssey, using fetch lands and cheap spells such as Brainstorm to reach threshold as quickly as possible. Once achieved, cheap, strong beaters such as Nimble Mongoose and Tarmogoyf do most of the damage, with Mystic Enforcer as a 4-mana closer; Werebear was used instead of Tarmogoyf prior to Future Sight. Counterbalance and Predict combo with the library manipulation of Brainstorm, Sensei's Divining Top, and Ponder. Force of Will and Daze provide even more "free" countermagic, while removal consists of Swords to Plowshares and Oblivion Ring.
