With the Winter Orb out, you want big creatures that are cheap and don't have drawbacks. If you play the Veil, Steel Golem and Fog Elemental are there for you. So long as you attack, everything's ok. You shouldn't have any reason not to; an opponent can't cast big creautres with an Orb out, and they can't attack with little ones beacuase of the Propaganda. The Thalakos Seers are like Ophies that have shadow and still deal damage. The Man O' War rules because your opponent will never again cast that creature. The medallions are obvious. Perhaps the best thing is the Mind Games. If you have out medallians, it's cheap enough to work. Tap the Winter Orb during your opponent's turn, then untap it after everything else in your untap phase. If you don't have anything else to cast, you could just use it to tap his (or her) one extra land each turn. -- Bryan William Choate Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 Email: gte935e@prism.gatech.edu
