Subject: Cursed Tongs Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 10:54:47 -0800 (PST) From: mark fekete To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Here,s a deck that's been doing awesome, as I haven't lost much with it yet. It often gets out a first turn tongs with 3 cards left in my hand. the rest is BURN & RACK! 4 Shock 4 Incinerate 4 Thunder Blast 4 Searing Touch 4 Kindle 4 Scalding Tongs 3 Cursed Scroll 2 Ensnaring Bridge 1 Feldon's Cane 4 Mox Diamond 4 Lotus Pedal 22 Mountain It's all simple math. If you get a couple of land and a Mox with the tongs on the draw..... put out the tongs. If you go first this should leave you with 3 cards left. after that you've got enough mana to cast anything left. Put the bridge out if you get it and most of the time you've got no cards so ain't much attackin' gonna be goin' on! The Cursed Scrolls will do the res for you. If you draw a land and not BURN you still get to do 2 points of damage. Use the searing touches as a one shot point.... Trust me, it makes a big difference! 80 - 90% of the time I've gotten the tongs out right away. Always room for improvement, but it works well so far.
