The following article is intended to be slightly humorous, but at the same
time......

Myself and a couple other serious players were having a discussion about
Tech for RATH Cycle constructed.  We stunbled upon something very
interesting. Our conclusions are based on the following assumptions:

1) Good tech for Rath Cycle Constructed EXISTS.
2) Teams with good tech will not willingly share that tech with non-team
members, especially those good players on good teams.
3) While team members are going to be playtesting within their team, they
will still be curious about what else is out there, and thirsting for more
play.

So this is what you do. You build the following deck;
4 Mogg Fanatics
4 Mogg Raiders
4 Mogg Conscripts
4 Mogg Flunkies
4 Jackal Pup
3 Canyon Wildcat
1 Rathi Dragon
2 Goblin Bombardment
4 Kindle
4 Shock
3 Lightning Blast
3 Sonic Burst
16 Mountains
4 Wastelands

This is not a very difficult deck to build, it is not rare-intensive, it
is not expensive, and to be honest.....its not even that great of a deck.

Except now you have a Rath Cycle Constructed deck.  So this weekend at the
PTQ you attend, when some Pseudo-Pro Player or hopefully a real player is
walking around saying, "Anyone want to test Rath Cycle?"  You say yes.

CONGRATULATIONS.  Free tech.

Helpful Hints:

1) Go into the match saying things like, "This deck has about 30 play-test
hours in it, and about 50 play-test hours in decks within 6 cards of it."
2) This deck seems to beat all the other Rath decks we have come up with so
far.
3) Lose each and every game, but lose happily.  Engage your opponent in
friendly banter, and get them talking about their deck.  The more they
win, the happier they will be, the more they will talk.
4) Don't play poorly, but even played at its best, its not that great a deck
:)

Oh yeah, any Tech you gleam, email to me as soon as possible.

"I like to go near Scrye. I liek there book, how the cover is nice and smooth,
how it doesn't split up like inquest. There decks aren't that bad. I like the
deck from tourneys and the artists address to. Inquest might just have some
more funner decks."
