Hey Frankie-pooh:

This is the first competitive post-Tempest black weenie that altran and I
made.  It is pretty good, except we don't like decks that don't have
Winter Orb, so we quit playing it.  Stop laughing.  We like Winter Orb.

SOME DUMB BLACK WEENIE DECK WITH NO WINTER ORBS

3 Bad Moon
4 Black Knight
4 Dauthi Horror
4 Fallen Askari
1 Gallowbraid
1 Kaervek's Spite
4 Knight of Stromgald
1 Morinfen
2 Necratog
2 Nekrataal
2 Shadow Guildmage

1 Fireball
4 Incinerate

1 Armageddon
1 Disenchant
2 Honorable Passage

1 City of Brass
4 Gemstone Mine
12 Swamp
3 Sulfurous Springs
3 Undiscovered Paradise

If you draw these cards, you will always beat Sligh: Bad Moon, Honorable
Passage, Kaervek's Spite.  Every time, seriously...  it is like a 17-pt.
life swing for free.

sb:

3 Gloom
3 Perish
1 Hydroblast
1 Uktabi Orangutan
3 Pyroblast
3 Disenchant
1 Honorable Passage

Do you know what is depressing?  It is like Type I over here.  We always
start our decks with 12 cards already chosen.  Every time.

The Power Blue:

3 Winter Orb (or as many black-bordered ones as we can find)
1 Disrupt (at least)
4 Man-o'-War (my favorite Type II card)
4 Memory Lapse

Usually we have at least one anti-red card in the main deck (usually an
Honorable Passage or two, or a Hydroblast or something).

Usually we have 4 of the Best Card In Magic as well.  (Impulse)
