Well, I made 2 MVW decks for Pro Tour qualifiers a week from next
Saturday (One for me, one for a friend who has not yet ben to a DCI
tourney), and I may as well post them here.  (If I see you at Match Play
playing my decks... :)  One of the decks I will be playing is a B/u deck
which is somewhat similar to Forgotten Orb (But no Orbs. :), and the
Second is a Red deck based around AEther Flash, though with no Dingus
Staves, for that combo...

B/u
Cratures
3 Fallen Askari
2 Wake of Vultures
3 Crypt Rats
2 Shadow Rider
2 Nekrataal
3 Man-o'-War
1 Gallowbraid
2 Shadow Guildmage
-- 18 Creatures

Spells
2 Grave Servitude  (Perhaps replace these?, decent finisher)
1 Bone Harvest
2 Dark Banishing
1 Kaervek's Spite
2 Power Sink
3 Coercion
3 Drain Life
2 Infernal Harvest
1 Forbidden Ritual
-- 17 Spells

Mana
12 Swamp
3 Charcoal Diamond  (Thinking of replacing these with Swamps...)
4 Bad River
2 Island
4 Dark Ritual
-- 25 Mana
---60 Cards total

Sideboard
2 Swamp
2 Island (When I put mana in the sideboard, that means I'm lost on what
to add. :)
2 Touchstone
2 Haunting Apparition
3 Mundungu
2 Power Sink
2 Mind Harness
-- 15 Sideboard cards
Having for Bad Rivers and 2 Islands allows me to get the Blue mana I
need for the Man-o'-Wars, Power Sinks and Guildmages early on, without
running a great risk of running into too much later.

And here's the Red deck:
Creatures
3 Bloodrock Cyclops
2 Hulking Cyclops
2 Wildfire Emmisary
3 Raging Gorilla
2 Bogardan Phoenix
2 Cinder Wall
3 Phyrexian Walker
-- 17 creatures

Spells
2 Fire Whip (Kill those 3 toughness critters under AEther Flash)
1 Heart of Bogardan
2 AEther Flash (All creatures have toughness of 3+ in this deck)
2 Chaos Charm
2 Fireblast
4 Incinerate
3 Kaervek's Torch
2 Spitting Earth
1 Hammer of Bogardan
2 Relentless Assault
-- 21 Spells

Mana
20 Mountain
2 Fire Diamond (Thinking of taking these out for Mountains)
-- 22 Mana
---60 Cards total

Sideboard
2 Mountain
1 Hulking Cyclops
1 Raging Gorilla
2 Builder's Bane
1 Kaervek's Torch
4 Tremor
4 Reign of Chaos
-- 15 Sideboard
This deck is Basically DD with medium sized creatures, and can put up an
early defense with Cinder Wall and Phyrexian Walker.

Also, I hear that there is a MVW tourney tonight at Match Play, so if
anyone else in northern CA can go (I can't) a tourney report would be
great. :)
