Cradle Control is a creature-based combo-control deck that wins by tutoring up Craterhoof Behemoth via Natural Order or Green Sun's Zenith off a massive Gaea's Cradle — Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon are your best cards here, as they cut off Cradle, Bayou, and fetchlands, leaving the opponent with colored mana issues and stranded green mana dorks. Fiery Confluence comes in as flexible removal that can sweep the mana dork suite (Birds of Paradise, Ignoble Hierarch) or dome the opponent, slowing down their acceleration and making Craterhoof lethal attacks harder to assemble. Sword of Fire and Ice and Umezawa's Jitte give your threats evasion and staying power against creatures like Wight of the Reliquary and Sylvan Safekeeper, and Jitte in particular is devastating against a mana dork-heavy deck. Fury is slightly weaker in this matchup since the opponent can rebuild quickly through Natural Order and GSZ, and Shatterskull Smashing underperforms when Blood Moon locks them out of the lands needed to even cast their spells. Prioritize landing Blood Moon or Magus of the Moon on turns 1-2 via Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors, Chrome Mox, or Simian Spirit Guide — that single permanent can end the game before it starts.
