     Here is possibly the harshest use of the U/G monstrosities from
     Stronghold.

     Submitted for your approval:

     Awakening Dream


     4 Capsize
     4 Sapphire Medallion
     4 Harrow
     4 Awakening
     4 Endangered Armadon
     4 Wall of Blossoms
     4 Tradewind Rider
     4 Walking Dream
     4 Gaea's Blessing
     land
     12 Forests
     12 Islands
     (the mana choices could use modifications)

     The goal of this deck is Capsize/Awakening lock.  Let me tell you this
     is a lock beyond normal understanding.  I have playtested this deck on
     the IRC and in person.  Most games end like this.  I have walking
     dream and armodon, maybe tradewinds and walls.  It is regardless.  The
     real killer is when I am capsizing your land at three a turn.  What
     the hell are you gonna do?
        The real sickness to awakening is that you can tap all your
     untapped land during the beginning of your upkeep, then untap them all
     for awakening.  Use the mana in your pool for capsize and then draw a
     card and enter your main phase with all land untapped!!!

        Permission is tough against this deck but SB handles them:

     SB
     4 Hammerhead shark
     4 Spindrift drake
     3 Chill
     4 hydoblast

     The only serious threat to this deck is Armageddon, so far.
