the other day i saw a deck that Tom Gibes created called missing link.
i thought it looked fun and i love rogue decks so i decided to make my
version of it.

Black:

4 Kezzerdrix
4 Bellowing Fiend
1 Morifen
1 Gallowbraid
4 Diabolic Edict
2 Crypt Rats

White:

4 Spirit Link
3 Flickering Ward
2 Disenchant
3 Wrath of God
2 Gerrard's Wisdom
3 Staunch Defenders
3 Revered Unicorns

Mana Sources:

4 Dark Ritual
10 Swamp
10 Plains

SB whatever mainly against what is good in your area, definately 4
bottle gnomes

as you can see i made quite a few changes but didnt really mess up the
core. the deck kinda works like 1 big combo, and believe it or not u can
use it in a tourney and not do bad becuase it is so strong against sligh
and other popular decks out there. some cards i am thinking of adding
are auratog and pacifism. then it would really work like a big combo.
here's a few words of advice from me. first of all the wards are very
importent to the deck, probably the single most importent card in the
deck. by putting the ward on a creature with another enchantment on it
will really help u becuase then if they rely on one color to kill your
creature they cant kill it, thus preventing u say from losing a creture
and a few enchantments to there 1 card. also this deck can be played
many ways. it can be used like a control deck that puts out phat
critters' or if u draw early unicorns and rituals it plays like a speed
deck.  another thing debtable is the fact i only use 20 land and 4
rituals for mana even though this deck loses badly when mana screwed.
the only reason i do this is becuase i never seem to get mana screwed
that often, maybe just lucky or i shuffle good or something.  also
remeber my version is not better than tom's just diffent. they both are
stronger decks that u think. i am gonna go to a tourney soon and i will
write a report so u can see how the deck works.
