Subject: R/b "Sligh Sucks" Date: Tue, 17 Feb 1998 11:20:07 -0500 From: David Matteson To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com since the next Type 2 tourney i will be in isn't for a while and i think this deck has gone through as much playtesting as i can stand, here is a deck that is *definately* one to beat... try it if you don't believe me, the only thing that gives it trouble when played correctly is big blue, and with proper sideboarding, even that can be splattered... R/b "Sligh Sucks" 3 Mogg Fanatic 3 Talruum Minotaur 3 Viashino Sandstalker 3 Suq'Ata Lancer 4 Ball Lightning 4 Kindle 4 Incinerate 4 Hammer of Boggarden 2 Goblin Bombardment 1 Earthquake 3 Corpse Dance 4 Cursed Scroll 1 Nevinyrral's Disk 2 Swamps 3 Rocky Tar Pit 2 Sulferous Springs 14 Mountains Suggested SB (adjust to fit your environment) : 4 Ankh of Mishra 4 Pyroblast 2 Boil 4 Perish 1 Nevinyrral's Disk like i said, when played properly this deck blows through just about everything i have thrown at it. big blue gives it trouble, mainly because of propaganda. thus, the pyroblast and ankhs and disks. draw enough burn, though, and even big blue can fall fairly quickly. speed is the key, never hesitate to throw everything you have at them unless you have a very good reason. ...dave P.S. -- 2 solid locks, if you don't see them you are not ready to play the deck.
