Subject: T2 Deck Date: Sun, 22 Feb 1998 19:49:01 -0800 From: "Tracie Kelly / Mike MacPhee" To: Improved from last weeks' tournament report, here is the new 'Piano Crate' deck for your info and posting... Piano Crate (aka Buried Fat) v2.0 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4 Living Death 4 Buried Alive 4 Dark Ritual } this would be the combo 3 Mana Vault 3 Vampiric Tutor 4 Black Knight 3 Hidden Horror 3 Knight of Stromgald } creatures 3 Volcanic Dragon 1 Spirit of the Night 1 Verdant Force 2 Necromancy 2 Terror } support 1 Fireball SIDEBOARD 3 Deathgrip (kick the ass of ProsBloom, Stompy, 5CG....Wow!) 3 Boil (this deck hates Blue) 3 Pyro (say it again - ungh!) 2 Tranquil Domain (vs. CoP's, Propaganda, Bloom, even MesaCraft!) 1 Terror (vs fast green fat - need em for Stompy and Lhurgoyfs) 1 Shatter (I found out in v1.0 that disks are bad. Gotta nukem. Should be 2.) 2 Earthquake (good vs Sligh, Stompy, Weenie W or B) Improvements (v3.0) should be as follows: Main deck: -1 Verdant Force, replace with EQ (side it out every time, only 1/8 was it truly useful....) -3 Knight of Stromgald, replace with +3 Bottle Gnomes (better vs Sligh, LD gets better) Sideboard -1 EQ, replace with +1Shatter (disk is that bad....) Try it! It's neat and it wins consistently. Any suggestions for improvement would be much appreciated. Mike MacPhee tkelly@direct.ca
