Subject: Bottomless Beatdown Date: Sun, 22 Feb 1998 17:26:31 -0600 From: Brent Mattis To: "'fkusumot@ix.netcom.com'" Bottomless Beatdown The point of this deck is destroy the opponent using the all powerful Scroll and hand destruction. The deck utilizes fast mana in the form of Charcoal Diamonds to fund Drain Lifes and Circumvent many Mana-Deprivation effects. I picked Charcoal Diamonds over the Mox Diamond, because when Bottomless Pit is in play Moxes are totally useless to draw. Ensnaring Bridge and Wall of Souls provides a virtual moat for you. The Kill in the Deck is complements of 4 Cursed Scrolls, 4 Man of Steel, and/or 3 stalking stones. Have A Nice Day, and Enjoy the power of black. Defense 3 Ensnaring Bridge 3 Wall of Souls Critter Kontrol/DD 4 Cursed Scroll 1 Evincar's Justice 3 Spinning Darkness 4 Diabolic Edict Straight Damage 2 Drain Life 2 Megrim Hand Destruction 2 Bottomless Pit 4 Stupor 4 Funeral Charm Offense 4 Steel Golem Mana 3 Charcoal Diamond 18 Swamp 3 Stalking Stones Sideboard Should be tailored to taste, but I recommend, at least 2 Nev. Disks. One could side in Terror, If it is more useful than Diabolic Edict. Another Megrim, against "Big Hand" Decks that just love :) Bottomless Pit. 4 Perishs, Just because its perish. Have a Happy Day
