"Rock Band" is a GWB control deck that blends several different creature-based control concepts together, including concepts from GW Maverick, Counter Cats, and legacy's Nightmare Effect. By using a creature-based strategy, it maintains a consistent board presence, while focusing on countering your opponents plans, and eventually locking him out of the game. Contrary to it's initial appearance, it is not an aggro-control deck. Although it uses a high creature count, it does not attempt to simply disrupt the early game and aggro in a mid game win. Instead, it's goal is to disrupt the opponent's early game, gain control by mid game, and then lock the opponent out by late game. It is one of the few modern decks that focuses on a late-game win, and it is this focus that wins it the game.
