thanateros Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 OK here are my decks, Peregrine and I actaully played together a lot during high school so we built decks the play up to par with the group of people we normally played (and then there were the n00bs at Cerebral's who thought they could make a good deck based on the charms from Visions lol) Black/Green/(hint of)White 4x Pernicious Deed4x Blastoderm4x Spiritmonger4x Weatherseed Treefolk4x Consume Strength4x Diabolic Edict4x Dark Ritual4x Hypnotic Specter4x Quirion Elves4x Necravolver 4x Bayou4x Llanowar Wastes4x Elfhame Palace (I know they suck)4x Swamp6x Forest This deck, though not my best, is the most fun to play. Consistenly I can play a Spiritmonger by the third turn. The premise is to clear away the oppenent's creature threat and let the stampies work their magic. And of course the Deeds help board control. The Dark Ritual/ Hypnotic Specter first turn combo is always fun too. Blue 1x Morphling1x Nevinyral's Disk4x Ophidian4x Counterspell4x Mana Leak4x Rewind4x Treachery4x Forbid4x Force of Will4x Dissipate4x Arcane Denial 4x Mishra's Factoy16x Islands It's a counterspell deck with Treachery and the most broken creature in the game, what more could you want by playing straight blue? Red(it's the exact same deck as Peregrine's) White 4x Swords to Plowshares4x Wrath of God4x Rout4x Disenchant4x Seal of Cleansing4x Story Circle4x Avenging Angel4x Chimeric Idol4x Radiant's Dragoons4x Mother of Runes 4x Kjeldoran Outpost4x Strip Mine16x Plains (added a few to compensate for having to sack a land to the outposts) This deck makes full use of the fact that almost all of its creatures are expendable. First turn Mother to stop the early threat while I build up lands to play the Idols and then start wiping the board clean of creatures. Then use the Outposts and Idols to pump out expendable creatures or set up chump blockers while the Angels start pounding away from above. Well those are my decks, at least the one's I've decided to keep. I used to play slivers, but I didn't want to spend a ton of cash to get the Birds or the lands to make it really work. Or, in that case, the 20 bucks Sliver Queens are going for these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 *remembers his many deaths on the wrong end of the suprisingly powerful wrath of god deck* *goes off to cry in a corner, creature swarms held tightly* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanateros Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Yea well I conceeded that one time we got to play type 0 for the friday night magic, my white deck did get to the finals, but wasn't going to stand up to your red deck...or was I playing blue...I think I was playing blue. Anyway as for land destruction blue has the the lockdown combo that will make you piss yourself. First play Anhk (sp?) of Mishra (if you play a land you're dealt 2 damage), next play Parallax Tide. remove 7 of opponents lands from the game. On your next turn they come back into play, dishing out 14 damage....play another Tide, game over. And since you're playing blue you'll have the counters/disks to deal with anything before the combo. I also tried to make use of Carnival of Souls in a combo deck, which actaully works if you're playing against a deck that really doesn't do anything. here's the spread 4x Yawgmoth 's Bargain4x Vampiric Tutor4x Aluren4x Enduring Renewal4x Library of Leng4x Bottle Gnomes4x Tranquil Groves4x Drain Life4x Carnival of Souls4x Dark Ritual4x Ticking Gnomes (oppropriate lands blah blah) Use the tutor to get the enchantments you need as well as the groves (which will protect your much needed enchantments. Play the Aluren and Renewal with the Bottle Gnomes, build up more life than you could ever possibly need. Build up mana everytime you play the gnomes (for free) with the Carnival and blow your opponent away with a massive drain life by emptying your mana pool with 5000 black mana in it. You could use the ticking gnomes but would face a lot of burn, but hey if you have 300 zillion life what difference does it make if you loose 20 right? Hmm maybe I should make this deck just for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Yeah, kind of like my rabid ornithopter deck. Doesn't win very often, but it's such fun to play. And so much fun to brag about to the person who's unfortunate enough to lose to the worst creatures in the game... Now if only I could find someone who has real kobolds....

thanateros Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Nods to the Ornitopther deck, but Carnival of Souls is undoubtably the worst card in the entire game (if you can think of a worse one please share). I felt pretty accomplished to actaully have made a deck that is centered around it and be usable. I'm thinking i should have Birds or Llanowar Elves in there for mana acceleration....or both :) And for multiplayer games such as generals combo decks reign supreme (so do sliver decks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camonna Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 just for the fun of it I got My uncle to buy me 70 goblin rocksleds (I payed him back) and I made a funny deck with a whole bunch of em I also Have made an all goblin deck that has all goblin things but My most dangerous is my 10/10 creature and it needs 5 colourless mana and 3 forests its called the skyshroud behemoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Except it's not dangerous at all. Trust me, big creatures are far far less of a threat than you think. Even if I don't simply kill you before you get them, I've got plenty of ways of dealing with them. Nods to the Ornitopther deck, but Carnival of Souls is undoubtably the worst card in the entire game (if you can think of a worse one please share). I felt pretty accomplished to actaully have made a deck that is centered around it and be usable. True, but in reality, hard to beat the fun of playing 20 ornithopters/kobolds/etc in one turn and overruning.... multiple times. Infinite combo decks just don't have that element of "lets cover the table in cards" to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanateros Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 hmm. you should probably take a look at spiritmonger 5 mana for a 6/6 with a sengir vampire ability that can change color and regenerate....almost as good as morphling...almost. And IRC the behemoth has fading....the only good creature with fading is the blastoderm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camonna Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 What is fading anyway? I play with the revised edition rules but I use the new ones too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Thief Oriana Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Fading: creatures with fading have fade counters on them. On the turns after the creature was played, you remove a fade counter from it. When no fade counters are on it, you saccrifice that creature. Ie, Skyshroud Behemoth. Has fading 2, meaning that in 2 turns it would die. Plus, it comes into play tapped. Both are bad since it allredy had a high casting cost.
