"Squandered-Stasis", May '97
| Newly developed (and hot on the heels of
ProsBloom), is the Squandered-Stasis Deck (Sq-Stasis), also referred to as
"Valley Stasis". This deck was created with the intent to break the card
"Squandered Resources", hence the name... It is a very fast and nasty
lock deck, working similarly to the old Turbo-Stasis deck.
Outline of Squandered-Stasis, by Craig Sivils and Adrian Sullivan:
This deck, while taking its basic form from the Turbo-Stasis deck plays much
differently. It can afford to be much more reactive with its countering
ability because of the extra mana afforded by the Squandered Resources, and
this is reflected by the addition of 10 standard counterspells (and more
in the sideboard). The resurrection of the Stasis deck is
made possible by the Sheltered Valley's, a feasible replacement for
the Zuran Orb, Ivory Tower life-gainers that were lost in the Ice Age. Unlike
the Turbo-Stasis deck, the Sq-Stasis deck does not have to rely on the
Howling Mines for consistent mana production, and can even afford to
use COP's. Also, the Sq-Stasis deck does not fall as easily to the traditional
Stasis hosers,e.g., a Winter Orb will not wreck the Sq-Stasis players
day. More as this deck develops. The Magic Dojo© 1997-1998 Frank Kusumoto. Please report bugs or problems to webmaster@classicdojo.org.
